I’ve no idea if the accusation Isak didn’t want us to qualify in the CL is true and ultimately, it didn’t matter in the end as he scored the pens that came his way that got us there at the end of the season. What was clear though was he was either playing with an injury or not trying as much for the team. Maybe both. Maybe neither. But his behaviour and desperation to move suggests that he wasn’t trying that hard, as there’s been 0 mention by him or anyone else of recovering from an injury that limited him for a large part of last season.
Something clearly wasn’t right with him and we did quite a big part on our post Ipswich pod at the end of April as he pretty much didn’t move all game.
The only explanation we could come to was that he absolutely had to be carrying an injury that would maybe need surgery post season. The facts are that post cup final his form nosedived and he stopped running in games. He was taken off before the 80th min in 7 PL consecutive fixtures, including games we were chasing a winner (Brentford being the most obvious and strangest at the time). If all of the above is a headloss then so be it, but NUFC fans were taking about his form and (lack of) effort in games before it was clear he was desperate to be off.
Anyway, can’t wait to see the new lads play against Wolves and Barcelona. It’s a great time to be an NUFC fan.
Absolutely pissing myself, the first line especially.
“You have the best team and then you sign the best striker on the market for whatever it costs”
“We can not do it”
Professional underdogs 😂
@nufctrust@NUFC The question regarding corporate allocations is not worded well. The club cannot allocate a % of tickets to corp, it must be aligned to the number of corp STs that include prioirty access to away tickets. If that number is, say, 500, the % will be higher at Brentford than at OT.
