Desperate reliance on Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin exposed - Alexander Isak joining them nufc
Opinion37 seconds agoNewcastle United dominating the possession and the game in general but missing the likes of ASM who will run at the opposition and look to create, rather than simply helping to move the ball from one side of the pitch, then back again.Alexander Isak has came in and already has two goals in three matches but against Bournemouth he cut an isolated figure, starved of incisive service and decent support.

With 47 direct goal involvements between them in 96 combined starts, you are talking about on average the pair of them supplying a goal or assist every other match.Whilst the other seven have 55 direct goal involvements in 410 Premier League appearances between then, since the start of the 2020/21 season.
Bruno Guimaraes has shown promise with six direct goal involvements despite only 21 PL starts so far. However, having scored only three goals for Lyon in over 70 appearances , we will have to wait and see whether that will also prove a bit of a one-off run in his early NUFC days.
