Eddie Howe will not have Alexander Isak available for Newcastle United’s Premier League match against Liverpool on Monday night. The match will take place in the Premier League versus Liverpool.
Alexander Isak, the key player for Newcastle United, will not be available for their match against Liverpool on Monday night. Due to the tremendous uncertainty that surrounds his future at St. James’ Park, the Swedish international player is once again unavailable for selection.
As a result of Anthony Gordon’s performance as a makeshift striker at Villa Park on the first day of the season, Isak has not kicked a ball for the Magpies since the month of May. “I don’t look at it like that [having no striker], though,” Howe remarked in response to a question on the former Everton player’s performance in the midlands. [Gordon] has already performed there for us, and he has done an excellent job of playing.
“In addition, he has played there quite a bit throughout training. It is not something that is completely foreign to him because he has previously performed the role of the number nine coming on and moving when we have made a substitution in a game.
“He has done it a great number of times. What’s more important is that he takes pleasure in playing the part. It’s not like you’re going to ask him to play there and he’s going to say, “I don’t really want to do that, I don’t enjoy it.” It is my opinion that everyone enjoys being the center of attention on the squad.
Because I believed he did a good job, I don’t see any reason why there should be a negative. To answer your question, yes, we would like to have more strikers to choose from because this would just give you more options and decisions to make, particularly when it comes to sprinting.
When Will Osula entered the game, he performed admirably. This was yet another encouraging indicator. As a result, I am more than content to proceed in the same manner as before.
What Anthony Gordon has to say about the position of striker
It is very evident that Gordon has the support of his head coach in order to succeed as Isak’s deputy and incorporate himself into a fresh and exciting front three. The Magpies feature one of the quickest offensive line-ups in the entirety of the Premier League, with Harvey Barnes on one side and Anthony Elanga on the other. The arrival of Elanga has been a significant contributor to the Magpies’ success in this regard.
When asked about his new colleague, Gordon expressed his excitement about what he is capable of producing once he is able to live up to the extremely high expectations that his head coach has set for him: After being queried about how well Elanga had integrated into the gang, Gordon responded to the Gazette by saying, “Very good, very good.” Because of the extremely high standards, it is a challenging team to join and figure out how to adjust to.
The gaffer is constantly on you, and everyone else is on you as well; it is a pretty intense situation. One of his strengths is that he is highly self-motivated.
It seems to me that if you have that mindset, you will be able to contribute positively to both this team and this management. In the same vein as what I mentioned earlier, it is going to take some time for all of us to become acclimated to playing together.
Because he is a new member of the team, I am out of position. Despite the fact that the team is going to come together in due time, I have to admit that he has adapted incredibly well, and he is a wonderful character.
“I believe that comes with playing with each other, working together, and having chemistry with each other. For the first time, I’m beginning to get used to what he wants and what he enjoys.
Me as a striker, when he’s got the ball wide, he’s so quick that I never want him to miss an opportunity. I know that when I’m playing on the wing, I want to go one-on-one, so I never want to take that away from him. I never want him to miss an opportunity. It is only a matter of becoming accustomed to his preferences and his idiosyncrasies.
,, With regard to his position as a striker, he continued, “Yeah, I like it. To tell you the truth, I truly enjoy it here.
It is simply going to require some time to become accustomed to. It’s an entirely other position altogether.
My back is against the goal rather frequently, which is something that you never have to do as a winger. However, there is a particular element of it, such as the move in which Ant Elanga played me, that is where I have the ability to really damage people. Although I am pretty good in some areas, I still have room for improvement in other areas, and I believe that this will come with time.
