Isak in the frame as Newcastle seek clarity and a sense of belonging
Newcastle owners met with Isak while he remains on strike.
Meanwhile, the club wants clarity quickly over the forward’s future.
Eddie Howe said he is investing all energy in players who want to wear the Newcastle shirt.
Liverpool broke the mood with a 100th minute winner from Rio Ngumoha, a 16 year old substitute.
Howe’s team were reduced to 10 men after Gordon’s red card, yet they fought back to 2-2.
He said he did not know of a last-ditch bid to sway Isak away.
Right now, patience is Howe’s mood as the club navigates a tricky phase.
Tonight, the city drums a simple truth the pundits cannot sing.
This is about more than a single striker; it is the soul of the club.
A sturdier plan and a sharper sense of identity are needed now.
