There was a notable, yet expected, from absence Newcastle United Starting line-up for The Opening Game of the Season Against Astonst Aston, Alexander Isak Was Nowhere to Be Seen.
Whilst Speculation Over His Future Continues To Dominate The Headlines For The Magpies, Eddie Howe‘S Men Had to Focus On The Game Hand and Held The Villeans to A 0-0 Draw away from Home.
Anthony Gordon Played Through The Middle As a Makeshift Number Nine, and There Are Pros and Cons to Call. His Pace Caused Problems and Forced Ezri Konsa Into Committing to Be Sent, But His Lack Of Front Of Goal Left The Team Feeling A Bit blunt.
Until Newcastle Can Either Convince Isak To Return to Action or Sign A Replacement, Howe Should Provide With Osula An Opportunity Through The Middle.
Why Will Osula Should Start
The 6 Foot 4 Attacker Is A Natural Center-Forward Who Would Offer a Physical Presence Through The Middle Of The Pitch, and A Focal Point for The Rest Of The Midfield and Attack to Play Around.
Osula Only Got One Minute off The Bench In This Draw With Aston Villa, What Meant That He didn’t Have An Enough Time To Show What He Can Do On The Pitch.
However, The Danish Giant Did Promise in Limited Game Time Last Season, with a Goal and Two Stars in Two Starts in the FA Cup and One Goal Of 168 Minutes Premier League Action, per sofascore.
Osula Was Once Described As a “Poor Man’s (Heling) Haaland” by Curtis Curtis Davies, What Sums Up The Kind Of Physical Play and Reference Point He Can Provide a Number Number Numen.
In order to Order Having Him in the Line-Up Until Antil Can Be Signed, Though, Howe Will Have To Ruthlessly Ditch Harvey Barnes From The Side.
Why Harvey Barnes should be dropped
The Former Leicester City Played on The Left Wing, Thanks to the Need to play Centrally, but be dropped now to play Gordon in His Natural Role, Opening The Space to the Number Number Nine.
Barnes, Who was a Given 5/10 Player Rating By Chronicle Live, Did Not Have a Dreadful Game, By Any Means, But Also Not An Outstanding Display That has Made Him to undropable.
The Right-Footed Wide Man Failed to Register A Target, From Three Attempts, and Failed to Any Of His Attempted Dribbles, Sofascore, in HIS 90 Minutes On The Pitch.
Vs Aston Villa | Harvey Barnes |
|---|---|
Minutes | 90 90 |
Shots | 3 |
Shots on Target | 0 |
Complete dribbles | 0/2 |
Pass Accuracy | 76% |
Big Chances Created | 1 |
Duels won | 2/5 |
As You Can See Above, Barnes Did Create One ‘Big Chance’ for His Side, But the Rest of His Performance Left A Little bit to Be Desired.
Since The Start of the 2023/24 Campaign, Gordon has delivered 21 goals and 16 Assists for Newcastle, compared to barnes’ Haul of 14 Goals and Seven Assists for The Same Time, per Sofascore.
This Suggests That It Would To Drop Barnes Than Gordon’s Osula’s Move Into The Starting XI AS The Latter Up Front is More Likely
Therefore, The Newcastle Head Coach Should Ruthlessly Drop Barnes, not Gordon, Down to the Bench to play with a Natural Number Until club Can Bring One In, OR Convince The Other One Those Do Have To Play.
