Adebayo Akinfewa would have done better against Murillo 
Personally I think Ekitike is a much much better fit for the team.
So far he has done better, also because he came in earlier, was fit and is technically a high quality player, he can link and connect with other players. He has his weaker aspects like they all do. But the club made these moves, aside of the Jota tragedy.
There’s a much better player in Isak than what we saw so far, he proved it in this league playing for a high intense Newcastle side.
Things evolve and change, for better or worse.
Ekitike is ahead of him so far, but he cannot start every game. So you play with Isak’s minutes, sometimes off the bench, sometimes starting, sometimes having both, depending on us and what the game needs.
What’s a high intense team?
Newcastle’s pressure.
Not the most consistent side over the last years, but when they’re on it, they can bring proper intensity in their pressure from the front without the ball.
Which we felt on our skin a few times (and our opponents even more times in last years), namely the League Cup last season.
I did wonder though this summer how would our press look like with all the moves (includes keeping Salah) we’ve made.
They just keep someone in central midfield. There’s not much more to it than that.
I’m just going on what Slot said. The medical analysis is that he needs matches to get up to full power.
It’s a tricky one. One the one hand we need a bit of form and on the other find a combination/set-up that works… I guess you could argue for a big change or no change - depending on if you want to build form or try another set-up…
