The transfer window ended a few days ago, and now the Premier League has been increasing the heat among football fans. Even though the international break is on, which would extend for 2 weeks, the 3 PL Matchdays so far have been significantly enthralling. From brilliant plays to marvelous strikes, the footballing action just feels to have started.

Alexander Isak reflects upon Newcastle's 2024/25 campaign so far

Analyzing from Newcastle's perspective, the unit would be significantly happy to get off an impressive start in the new season. Before the break, the Magpies club had been unbeaten, managing 2 wins and a draw in the English League while advancing to the next round of the Carabao Cup. But still, the fact that the club's wins haven't come in a dominating fashion sounds a bit depriving.

Recently, star Newcastle forward Alexander Isak, who netted the winner against Tottenham, has reflected upon the club's overall performance in the new campaign. As has been evident, Eddie Howe's side has functioned well defensively, but a few improvements are yet to be made for their dream finish. While talking to Viaplay, Isak mentioned along similar lines, saying,

""I think our performance is a bit short of the level we want it to be at. I think that we defend our goal very well. With the ball, we are quite far from our level.""

As mentioned, Newcastle's main concern has been to improve their forward play, making crucial chances and converting them into goals. While Isak looked worried about the unit's performance overall, he didn't hesitate to appreciate the club's gritty showcase in the 2-1 win against Tottenham. Isak said,

"“However, it is a statement of strength to win [against Tottenham] when not everything is so pretty. The team and I want to do a little better with the ball and performance in general.""

Overall, having scored a match-winner in the last game before the international break, Isak would join Sweden's national team with a good feeling. While the break is around two weeks, the Swedish forward would be willing to return to Newcastle soon, in rich form. As he has recounted, if Newcastle and he manages to improve on the offensive front, the Magpies club could certainly advance to the top spots this season.
