Eddie Howe says Newcastle United didn't do enough to help an 'isolated' Alexander Isak as the Magpies struggled to a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. It was a lacklustre affair at St James' Park with the Swede salvaging a point from the penalty spot in the second-half.
Isak made no mistake from 12 yards but cut a frustrated figure during the 90 minutes on Saturday, with Newcastle's fellow attackers failing to find him on a number of occasions. The former Real Sociedad man may be partnered alongside Callum Wilson in attack upon his return from injury but must try and find a way to work with Miguel Almiron and Ryan Fraser in the meantime.
"He's learning. Not just how the team plays but also how the team-mates around him play," Howe said. "There were flashes form him today though I don't think we as a team did enough around him to get him into goalscoring positions.
