From the source

Newcastle United’s summer rebuild has yet to deliver the attacking consistency Matthias Jaissle needs. Following Alexander Isak’s reported £130 million departure to Liverpool, the Magpies invested heavily in younger forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo, while Yoane Wissa and William Osula provide further options.

The results have been uneven. Fernandez-Pardo has yet to register a goal or assist in five appearances, while Wissa and Osula have each recorded one league goal and one assist this season.

Those returns leave Jaissle short of a reliable focal point for his demanding 3-1-6 system, which asks the central striker to hold the ball, connect attacks and finish chances.
