Very evident we're trying to play further up the pitch to take the pressure off our midfield finding space in possession, letting Schar and Botman pick passes more. It suits our players much better than playing a stretched game with a deep line. At least with the players we have available.

I'm not a big fan of Isak being asked to play like Almiron. Pressing and chasing lost causes.

 

I'm not saying he should be an exclusive "service striker", but it definitely feels like a misuse of a premier asset to have him too fatigued whenever he gets on the ball to take on players, and visibly flagging after 65-70 minutes each game.

 

Would love to see Newcastle re-think this next year as part of summer planning.
