Isak going to make a firm case for being the leagues second best striker now Toney and Kane are out of the picture.

What a signing

Again, that's not a rule. Of course it can be an obvious goalscoring opportunity without it being the last man.
What's not the rule?

It wasn't a denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity because of his position, he was out on the wing, and because there was a covering defender.

I've never seen them give DOGSO when there was a covering player and the attacker was so far from goal.

Is Newcastle shirt made out of paper? A little pulp and it ripped
Castore have major issues with any of their stuff. Loads of people who bought kits or any products from them say the quality is awful.

Isak playing a more traditional no.9 very well today. Credit to Eddie Howe if Isak continues this trajectory

Isak is so talented. Even forgetting his goalscoring he's just a quality footballer

We could have easily signed Isak last summer if not for ETH’s misplaced trust in Martial.

Imagine if we’d got him instead of Antony

Isak hasn't always played well as a striker. He played more as a wide forward kinda like Rashford. He is getting better now though

From here to there
Amazing how much I despise this latest oil funded project.

Gutted they got their revenge last season and finished above us after losing the cup final fair and square... oh wait

Tonali is tenacious. A proper CM. Arsenal should have spent the havertz money on him.

Yeah I can agree on him being out wide. But the covering defender shouldn’t count when it’s the keeper out of position. Same as offside. If the keeper is up high, one defender counts as a ”keeper”

It was a bit of a surprise transfer wasnt it otherwise everyone should have been after him. Quality player. Newcastle look strong this season.

What? I think we would have signed him if he wasn't signed by Newcastle last year.
And people would've said "Why the feck are we paying £75m for a striker who scored ten goals for Sociedad last season?", like people are saying about Højlund now

Isak and Wilson is an ideal one and two option, massive talent supported by a reliable goalscorer

Top 4 this season will be ever so intense.

Brighton
Newcastle
Chelsea
Liverpool

Any blips in form will be costly.
United need to get their scoring touch going.
I don’t see a water-tight defense in us, yet.
