Alexander Isak

Anyone know if any of Isaks goals are penalties?

So hard to find a stats site that tells you penalty goals scored. Madness.

Alexander Isak - Penalty goals

This is the detailed penalty statistic of Alexander Isak of Real Sociedad San Sebastián. The statistic shows in detail how many penalties the player took in his career.

Totally forgot he'd been at Dortmund. How come it never worked out for him there? You'd think a young player like him would've been right up their street.

He scored one penalty this season. Last season he didn’t score any (he missed one) and Sociedad had 12 in total. If he was their penalty taker he’d probably have had 20-25 goals. That’s for league goals.

Thanks. Where do you find these stats?

He was too young. He was green even in Sweden when he moved there

I wouldn't say he is physically weak. People are going on like he is Jesus Navas.

He needs to develop physically and that can be done. Look at Martinelli and ESR. Strength and conditioning is hardly a con.

I'd also say a pro is that he has good shooting technique. His misses usually come down to calmness and shot selection, not lacking the technique to pull it off.

People don't remember DCL at 21. I do. He couldn't finish at all.

Bringing Isak in changes the team completely. Teams have figured out what we are doing. Laca drops in, CB follows, Saka and Martinelli run into space. So what they have done is let Laca drop in because they realise he can't turn, or pass or shoot. He also rarely dribbles and carries. So he isn't a threat.

If Isak drops in and turns and runs, it's a problem, space will open up and as much as he is an inconsistent finisher, he does see a pass. He would be a massive threat. The question is whether we can polish up to be lethal rather than patchy.

I was an Isak sceptic, but after watching him for a bit I'm fully on the train. He's such a weird player. 6'4 but an insane dribbler with great technique and very quick.

Stats show he presses well but is also piss weak in the air. He'd essentially be a fitter Laca who can also get in behind. Plus with his height I can see him filling out a little more and becoming quite a strong player.

Cost is worrying though, unfortunately the big name striker market is ass right now, unless we try for another cheap gem our options are very limited.

Thierry Henry?

Thierry Henry?

Honestly yeah, Henry with worse finishing is pretty comparable.

yea, also none of the swag, in a strage way he is worse at heading the ball also, even if he is bigger. and his passing is not as good as Titi was. Or his dribling, or his link-up play, positioning, awareness, football IQ or anything else really. Both bald has to be said.

Sky sports News just said that Isak has no intention of leaving Sociedad. Bummer.

Not for Arsenal at least

 

[Riou]

People need to be careful throwing Henry's name around, even saying a younger Thierry... dangerous game that, usually means the young player will flop.

 

[Trilly]

Love how many on Twiter especially stated how Arsenal was the most interesting project and all players should want to join.

Yet we are twerking for players not interested.

Reality check for a lot of fans.

Banter reputation + out of CL for years + questionable manager who has fallen out with multiple players.

Shame on them.

 

[Trilly]

Or he looks at his mate Ødegaard loving it and earning tons of money?

Yeah but Ødegaard is whi-nvm.

I’ve read from a few sources that Isak doesn’t want the move now. Surely Darwin Nunez is an option ?

Nobody reliable is saying this and it all seems to come from a Matt Law bullshit article.

 

[GDeep™]

Why are people mentioning Henry? Their styles are totally not similar.

These players are probably put off by the awful online fan base, Arsenal fan tv etc.

Who wants to be told by some mug what they should be doing whilst copping abuse on social media from other ‘fans’ if they don’t hit the ground running.
