Their trip to Selhurst Park came off the back of a first meaningful break since August, and Howe\u2019s first opportunity to really work with his players on the training ground.<\/p>\n<p>But that was just it; they had that break against a team who had played in Europe three days earlier. But they still showed the same frustrating signs of deep-rooted problems Howe doesn\u2019t seem able to solve, including taking the total number of points dropped from winning positions to a staggering 25.<\/p>\n<p>An unreasonable expectation perhaps, but had they collected all of those points, they\u2019d be joint top of the table. Winning half would make them well-placed for another season in Europe\u2019s premier club competition.<\/p>\n<p>The departure of Alexander Isak, Newcastle\u2019s top scorer last term, at the end of the transfer window, has scarred the entire campaign. Isak wasn\u2019t just Newcastle\u2019s most reliable source of goals, he was the jewell in Howe\u2019s crown. He set the team up to play to Isak\u2019s strengths, and the Swede had many; pace, power, guile, deadly finishing and an ability to start a press.<\/p>\n<p>Another issue is, one of his replacements, Nick Woltemade, is nothing like an Isak successor. His game is built around close control, link-up play and getting players in and around him.<\/p>\n<p>That transition has been hard to manage. Woltemade\u2019s talent is undeniable; he has scored seven Premier League goals this season and will lead the line for Germany at this summer\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>But a combination of a lack of training time and Howe\u2019s reluctance to change the focus of the team mid-season has meant trusting Woltemade has been difficult. He\u2019s tried to accommodate him in midfield, which hasn\u2019t worked, and has opted for more athletic players like Anthony Gordon and Will Osula up front lately. The latter scored the opener at Palace.<\/p>\n<p>The fact he cost a club-record \u00a369m in the summer, and \u00a355m man Yoane Wissa is also struggling for an impact, means Howe is regularly being questioned about team selection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t pick the team based on transfer fees,\u201d Howe said post-Palace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to pick the team based on what I see. I thought Will Osula has trained well.\u00a0I think he deserved to start today.\u00a0I thought he played well, Will.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought he was, again, a real positive coming out of the game.\u00a0I thought he took his goal well.\u00a0He\u2019s got the physical attributes,\u00a0the determination to do really well. He\u2019s improving, I think, week in, week out, so I was delighted with his performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There can be little doubt Howe has the right approach generally, but Woltemade\u2019s issue is a little more complex. His skillset, as a 6\u20197 striker with more propensity to create than play as a target man, is unique. That creates a very black and white situation.<\/p>\n<p>He is not capable of simply adjusting and slotting into Howe\u2019s usually high-octane system. He must be a catalyst for a change of approach, or he should be sold to make way for a player who can provide a similar service to Isak.<\/p>\n<p>The frustration for supporters is that Howe\u2019s team is struggling to play with intensity anyway, be that because of fatigue or the players simply not responding to instructions in the same way. There is an end of cycle feeling to Newcastle\u2019s current predicament, regardless of Howe\u2019s future, with the likes of Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento linked with summer moves. The club are on record saying they may need to sell to reinvest heavily, and failing to qualify for Europe will only see speculation intensify.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle need a refresh and Woltemade should be central to that. He has undoubtedly struggled this season, but it is hardly surprising given how little support he has had in the adaptation process. Howe has spoken about a need to evolve the team into being more possession-based before, and his big German striker could hold the key.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Howe is at Newcastle next season, Woltemade needs to be backed. If not, their loss could be someone else\u2019s gain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is under growing pressure at St James\u2019 Park, the like he hasn\u2019t felt since his tenure began five years ago.
