Newcastle’s attack still adjusting to Isak’s absence, says Howe
Manager Eddie Howe said Newcastle United are still adapting to life without Alexander Isak following the striker’s transfer to Liverpool and called for patience as his new-look attack struggles to click into gear.Newcastle’s goalless draw at Bournemouth on Sunday was their third consecutive 0-0 Premier League draw away from home and extended their winless run on the road this season.While Howe was pleased with a third straight clean sheet in the league, they have scored only three goals in five games and are 13th with just six points.“It’s three 0-0s away from home for us, which is really uncommon with our attacking style,” Howe told reporters. “I think just naturally we’re going to be a different team attacking-wise this year without Alex.“I’m hopeful we’re evolving to a different team, hopefully a better team, but it may take a bit of time.”Newcastle are looking to club-record signing Nick Woltemade to spearhead their attack following Isak’s departure to the Premier League champions in a record-breaking deal, and Howe said there is more to come from the German.“I thought Nick played really well today,” Howe added.
