Debut season in the premier league. Has looked good. We just don’t know how to use him. He’s young. He’ll come good next season.

I don’t even understand why the heck he’s receiving all the hate. Man’s playing out of position and Eddie’s play style doesn’t suit him.

There’s nobody more fickle than football fans. He’s a good player, I just think he’s finding his feet in the PL and Howe is figuring out how to use him. I think his ultimate role will be the Harry Kane role, forward who regularly drops deep.
People expecting that Nick was going to replicate the output of peak Isak are wide of the mark/don’t know football very well.

He’s a brilliant player that can easily be seen, he just needs a certain system to accommodate his strengths which we seemingly have major reluctance to play.

Big Nick is an excellent footballer. That’s obvious to see – his technique, finesse and creativity are top level. Berbatov-esque almost. But we’re not playing to his strengths and he struggles to get into the games cause of this sometimes.
He’s also not fast enough to come as deep for the ball as he does but he might be being told to do that for all we know

The bar was too high last season. When was the last time we had a striker like Isak? Big Nick hasn’t had that bad of a start to the season really, he’s just frustrating to watch but then so is everyone but Hall. Big Nick is an easy scapegoat.

Yep, not everything happens straight away. You can see now Ramsey is showing his qualities. Elanga is still 23. Adam Clery said when we signed him, he’s got loads of margin to improve. I think some people forget that.

It’s utterly ridiculous. He’s actually done pretty well all things considered when he wasn’t supposed to be playing this much and (given he’s spent his entire career in Germany before he joined us) he’s not had the six week winter break he’s used too either.

It’s worth noting as well, Isak played wide quite a lot that season, it was only after the cup final he took over fully at striker. Similar to Wolt at CM.

Media & fans getting on his back is a disgrace, even shearer had a go. Hope next season after a full break & pre-season he comes out scoring.

Wasn’t Isak injured for half of his first season ( surprise surprise )
No disrespect to big Nick though the lads got talents it’s plain too see. I hope he stays and we can start getting a tune out of him

Not only does WM have all the potential, he’s a refreshing, original personality and seems to be a decent person too.
I’d rather see this than rats. Given time Eddie will find a role for him and if he doesn’t, well that’s just football an we shouldn’t take it out on him personally. He’s a young lad in a different country with the national media on his back.

People are very harsh on him.
