In a game that was there to be won, neither of them knew how, when Newcastle left 0-0 to Leeds.
In a season in which Newcastle is expected to compete on four fronts, Newcastle again looked toothless in attack and without ideas about how to unlock a Leeds defense that Arsenal crossed five.
This perfectly emphasizes the obvious gap in the Eddie Howe team at the moment in time – strikers.
In the likely scenario, Alexander Isak gets the movement he wants, Newcastle cannot continue with Will Osula and Nick Woltemade as the only points for attention for the attack. Another striker who can score goals is desperate and absolutely essential.
In the match against Leeds, Osula only passed one successful dribble and two details in the opposition box, the latter the same as full-back Tino Livramento.
Osula’s aim cannot be confused, but in most of the majority his display was awkward and lacked calmness in or out, with the DANE taking five errors.
Games such as Leeds Away, where the points are there, require courage and belief, previously provided by an absent Sweden International, and can define the success of a season in May. If there was a way to demonstrate the Newcastle -hierarchy what what needs, it was then. Nick Woltemade is a welcome addition to the dressing room in Newcastle in so many ways, but another is needed to spread responsibility and quality.
Before the transfer window is closed on Monday at 7 p.m., striking reinforcements are desperately needed. Anthony Gordon can do a job in the central striking role, but as seen against Aston Villa on the opening day of the season, he misses the murderer instinct for the goal and is by far at his best on the left wing.
Yoane Wissa does his best to force after the Bombshell statement today and Move and Jorgen Strand Larsen also wants to sign, but both things mean little if Brentford and Wolves cannot find replacements on time.
Progress must be found somewhere, even if it is a surprise loan that gives us more reliable coverage than the rough and whimsical Osula, who proved last night that he is not ready to play a major role.
The Newcastle Board, has to take the proof of the season so far and have to support how simply with another striker, or put an end to the Alexander Isak -Fiasco and let him return for what he is paid for to do.
