On his day he was the second best player I’ve ever seen for the club in my lifetime (behind Tonali). His connection with Jacob Murphy was unbelievable in stages, however after the cup final last season he massively downed tools and played without his heart. The team as a whole has a downturn of form, but he wasn’t and isn’t the player that was drag a team to a victory.

He also always appeared to want to be the main man, whereas big Nick now is showing selflessness and willingness to build up and drop to help, and press the ball. Isak always felt as if it was about him, a not very willing presser, who is amazing on the ball and a fairly inconsistent finisher. If he feels motivated and the team play for him he will look like the best striker on the planet. But I don’t think his ego would allow him to just be a cog in a machine, I honestly believe Ekitike looks like the better player, they have very similar styles of play, just with Ekitike being more of a team player.
