LET'S get a big Wissa wiggle on this week. Let’s sting the Bees into action and get Newcastle's season moving.

Then let's take a massive sack of gold off Alexander Isak for once again refusing to play, this time against Liverpool, a club he is passionate to join while negotiating a brutal divorce on Tyneside.

Decisive action is required. A steamroller to flatten objectors if necessary. Opening day was the start of United’s Premier League life without Isak and it was all-too predictable. It was a new castle without a king.

United dominated the first half with slick football, eight attempts on goal to Aston Villa's none. Then second half they played against 10 men following Ezri Konsa's deserved sending off. Result: no goals scored. A 0-0 draw when a win ought to have been secured.

Please go and get Yoane Wissa. You have signed a replacement Brentford so bow to the inevitable. Wissa plays centre-forward and scored 19 PL goals last season from 35 appearances.

Oh, do those figures sound refreshing to a parched Geordie palate right now.

Isak is the striker who has gone on strike, who has shown nothing but contempt to Eddie Howe, who has helped him so much accelerate his fabulous potential.

To teammates who have had to go into battle without his help.
