Newcastle’s Draw & Search for Isak’s Stand-In…
Newcastle got stuck in a goalless mud-wrestling match against Aston Villa at the start of the Premier League season, even though they were in the driver’s seat most of the time. Without their star striker Alexander Isak, who is causing more speculation than a reality TV finale, Newcastle experienced a struggle. Fans wondered if Isak was already sipping tea in Anfield. The Magpies thought they had a winning chance when Villa’s Ezri Konsa got sent off, but breaking through goalkeeper Marco Bizot was like trying to convince a cat to do the dishes. Next week, they face Liverpool with hopes and possibly strategies to actually score.
In a bid to replace Isak, Newcastle is eyeing Brentford’s Yoane Wissa, almost as if they were casually picking a fighter for a video game showdown. After trying and failing to recruit Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, and Hugo Ekitike, the Magpies are now placing their bets on Wissa like he’s the last nacho at a party. He’s scored 45 goals in 137 games, with a great season sealing 19 goals last year. Meanwhile, Goncalo Ramos gave a shoutout to staying at PSG, assuring he’s ready whenever the team gives him the ball, almost like preparing for some synchronized swimming display on the pitch.
