Great to see Isak on the scoresheet and winning the game, let's hope for more consistency now.

i thought we did okay actually, winning away in the prem is never easy and it was the type of understated, low key, job done type performance you'd see in a title winning season tbh.
West Ham had just beaten Bournemouth btw so were half decent nick as well.
Cant for the life of me understand why he'd take off Wirtz and Isak, Wirtz was the best player on the pitch and Isak looked a different player after he scored, his enthusiam levels went through the roof, he was running around, urging players forward to press with him, he wanted another one, you could see he wanted another goal.
I just hope it was something to do with injury prevention because if it was tactical Arne hasnt got a fv.cking clue.

I think the fact we play on Saturday then again to Inter midweek and back to the PL next weekend and onto the Christmas surge, he may feel this is his best team and he wants to save them.

Yeah, though it was only 1-0 at the time and there was still 25 minutes to go so the game was still in the balance, but i hear what you are saying Kaz.
Isak in particular looked a bit surprised to be coming off, the camera caught him turning around and saying "me?" to someone nearby.
Leaving Mo out of the starting line up was a massive step in the right direction though saying that i wouldn't be against him coming on for the last 20 minutes when he's fresh and everyone else is tiring.
Next hurdle now is to get Arne to pick Isak and Ekitike in the same team.
