Vesper 30,164 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Was bound to happen: Valencia draw exposes Isco’s inconsistency https://footballbh.net/2019/12/17/valencia-draw-exposes-isco-inconsistent/ Isco has become an enigma in recent months and years. The Spaniard’s talent has never come under question at all. His performances have always been crucial to Real Madrid’s successes over the seasons, but things have been changing. The tides have been shifting and Isco is seemingly not as important as he once was. Last year’s time under Santiago Solari was not a pretty one. Under a manager who wanted tactical rigidity, Isco would never play regularly. For a player who likes to float about in the final third, it never worked in his favour. Last season, he had only 11 starts to his name in the La Liga. He made only four appearances in the Champions League too, and he had a direct hand in just six goals in all competitions. That is never a pretty sight for a player like Isco. His inconsistencies can be highlighted by the recent showing against Valencia. Real were held to a 1-1 draw, as they couldn’t climb back up to the top of the La Liga. In the game, Isco was starting as the left-winger in a 4-3-3 shape. And it was a poor showing by all means. The former Malaga sensation couldn’t create a single chance and couldn’t pick out a single key pass. He was dispossessed twice, getting dribbled past just as many times for the Mestalla-based side. Numbers like that are very rare for Isco. But it is in stark contrast to the Deportivo game. Real won 2-1 and Isco was crucial. He didn’t complete a single key-pass, but he had two successful dribbles and three tackles to his name. It wasn’t as poor a performance as the Valencia one. He did well against Brugge as well. He completed one key pass, completing four dribbles as well. He won two tackles and made as many interceptions. It was a performance of promise. A one that somewhat showed some qualities that he has. Isco was never someone who would play too many key passes anyway. The highest number of key passes per game he played was in the 2013-14 campaign. That number stood at 2.2 back then. Since then, those numbers have been coming down and he has become more about quality than quantity of those creations. Perhaps, it was bound to happen. Him playing as low as 0.9 key passes per game was coming if the downfall in productivity has to be traced. And he isn’t as good a player he has always been. Especially during those golden spells around 2016 and 2017. Times have been moving on. It can well be said that the game too is moving on from Isco. He was never a bundle of pace and neither was he too physical. The game has become quicker and more physical. And possibly, Isco hasn’t been up to that level. snip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,318 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 On 05/12/2019 at 0:23 AM, NikkiCFC said: So this was reported 15 days ago by the same newspaper in Spain which reported today we made an offer for Isco. I did a little research and El Desmarque is a most reliable source when it comes to Andalusia. Isco is from Andalusia and played for Malaga as well. They were the first one to break the story about Ceballos (another Andalusian who played for Real Madrid) joining Arsenal. So looks like this is true. Two weeks ago we spoke with Real and now we made an offer. Very hot! 11Drogba, Fernando and Vesper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Not sure what I make of Isco. At times he looks unplayable and at other times he's peripheral at best. The big question would be are those inconsistencies down to not being a regular or because he's just not as good as he's often made out to be. Struggling to get into the Real Madrid team isn't a huge worry for me because Kovacic was in the same position and he's been fantastic this season and is starting to really show just what a player he is when he plays regularly. Would Isco benefit from the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,381 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 A change of scenery would do him good. Despite his success, always felt he would’ve benefit more if he had moved to Barca instead of Real. With no indication of how long Ruben will be out and the fact Barkley is useless, this move makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 If he can't handle the physical no way he can be good in the pl. I don't like the moves that Lampard is trying to make, isco and zaha if true.... Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent 403 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I am not a fan of Isco nor Zaha. I feel like Zaha is just too low of a target, Chelsea should aim for something higher with more quality. And i just don't see Isco doing well at Chelsea, i also doubt his work ethic. I would rather see Sancho join, and although it's a different position Aké return to Chelsea. Vesper, Atomiswave and Fernando 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaha is better than Willian and CHO but he's simply not the level of player we need to start closing the gap between us, Liverpool and City. Really underwhelmed by our rumoured targets and can see us spunking another few hundred million down the drain. 11Drogba, Atomiswave and Vesper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,164 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 TIL has sold Bryan Fiabema (16) to Chelsea - 6 millon NOK (half a million quid) will be the transfer price https://www.itromso.no/100Sport/fotball/TIL-har-solgt-Bryan-16-til-Chelsea---dette-blir-overgangssummen-284665b.html Bryan Fiabema has long been regarded as one of TIL's hottest sales items. Earlier in December, the attacker went to a trial at Chelsea, where iTromsø is aware that the G16 national team player has made a good impression.

Spanish outlet El Desmarque reports that the Blues are one of several teams eyeing the La Liga winger. It is believed that they are joined by Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, who could all be a possible destination if the Brazilian decided to try Madrid. The report adds that Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan and Roma have shown interest in the 19-year-old too. snip Atomiswave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Isco would be a welcome addition to our squad imo, an improvement on Barkley for sure. Brings winning experience that this team's lacking. Does he speak English? Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomiswave 6,117 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'll take Isco above Zaha anyday, Yes I know its not the same position but he is still of higher quality. We need creativity and I bet he will be cheaper too. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicco 927 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Zaha humiliated himself again today in front of everyone, absolute caricature of a player, I'd take Willian over him and that's saying something. As for Isco he would be welcomed a true AM, can even do the job on the wing if needed and above Zaha easily. Vesper and Atomiswave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
