Newcastle United starts the season and did not score many goals, and scored in all three, only four goals scored in the three games at home, what can you expect if you now miss Alexander Isak?
I think that’s the very clear story about the media.
It is indeed something that many fans of Newcastle United also buy.
However, only four goals in the first six games of the 2025/26 season scores everything about Alexander Isak?
Eddie Howe was asked about his team and scored goals on Tuesday morning, at his press conference of pre-Bradford:
“It is up to everyone to get in goals. Historically we have done that really well. Our defenders have been ordinary goal scorers, either from fixed plays or open play. We look everywhere at sources of goals and we cannot be dependent on a department. The creativity of the team in midfield and the broad areas is really strong for us and our full-backs have been some of our best attackers in recent seasons and that must be the case again. “
If Alexander Isak was still in Newcastle United, everything would have been good, more goals scored than we would do now what to do.
However, this corresponds to reality?
For example, let’s take the 2024/25 season.
The top four clubs when it came to scoring goals in the Premier League were 86 scored by Liverpool, 72 by Man City, 69 for Arsenal, Newcastle United scored 68.
When you add the cup matches, Newcastle United scored 88 goals in the 2024/25 season.
Wait a minute …
However, the devil is in the details, as it is so often.
In their opening 16 games (all games) of the 2024/25 season, Newcastle United scored 18 goals.
In 12 of their first 16 games last season, the side of Eddie Howe scored one goal or no goals at all.
It was not until October 27, 2024 when Alexander Isak scored his second goal of the season, in the first ten games last season ISAK contributed only one goal, a tick when Murphy’s Run and Pass gave him an open goal to ensure that United 2-1 against Tottenham in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in the Premier League in that Game Pompetition-minuts in that game
Some facts from Newcastle United in 2024/25
In the first 16 games of last season until the beginning of December, Newcastle achieved 18 goals.
The breakdown of those first 16 games when it came to how many goals scored in a match was:
0 goals scored – three games
1 goals scored – nine games
2 goals scored – three games
3 goals scored – one match
Then Liverpool came …
Ironically, it was the match against running league leaders Liverpool when everything seemed to change, especially on the goals for the front.
The December 4, 2024 saw that brilliant 3-3 draw.
Including that Liverpool competition at SJP, produced the last 32 Newcastle United Games (all competitions) of the 2024/25 70 goals season
From 18 goals in 16 games to 70 in the next 32, almost the average number of goals per match doubles.
The breakdown of the latter 32 games of the 2024/25 season when it was how many goals Newcastle Unoed scored in a match was:
0 goals scored – four games
1 goals scored – five games
2 goals scored – five games
3 goals scored – six games
4 goals scored – four games
5 goals scored – one match
Indeed, if you indeed have been charged that Newcastle United was charged, he eventually no longer hit steam and could not score in the last two games of the season against Arsenal and Everton. Starting with that 3-3 V Liverpool, Newcastle did not score only twice in 30 games and scored at least two goals in 23 of the 30 NUFC.
Ahead
No one can be sure what will happen if we continue, but I am confident that Newcastle United will score many goals this season.
In the 2022/23 season, when Newcastle United finished in the Premier League and went to Wembley, in just two of the seven opening Premier League matches Eddie How’s side scored two or more goals.
In the 2023/24 season, NUFC only scored two or more goals in one of the opening matches of the first five PL.
The 2024/25 season, the Eddie Howe team scores two or more goals in just two of the first 10 PL competitions. But go to qualify for the Champions League and win a trophy.
I think there are many factors that you can point to when it comes to the low number of goals so far this season.
All problems that undermined the start of the season, especially Alexander Isak in strike and the two attackers signed so late in the window. To get worse, Yoane Wissa was immediately injured, Ramsey also became an early injury, while Anthony Gordon suspended three games.
Eddie Howe has looked at his defensive form and tightness early every season and undoubtedly with so many negative factors that have influenced the need to do this even more in recent weeks and months.
Happiness and fine margins have been against United and such a heavy opening set of six games so far. Playing Liverpool and Barcelona, traveling to Villa and Bournemouth were seen as two of the hardest we would have this season, Newcastle defeated wolves, but was on very limited options for Eddie Howe when they traveled to promote Leeds.
You can see these as apologies if you want, but for me it is just reasons that help explain the relatively slow start of the season in terms of goals and points.
For me, the versions have been much better than the points and goals results so far. The team should and should have done better than they have, but this is not downfall and gloom, it is just Eddie Howe slowly but surely aware of his team, on both ends of the field.
I think when everything starts to click, Newcastle United will be a formidable opponent this season, even without Alexander Isak …
