Under-Fire Jaissle Accepts Blame for Newcastle Misery
On Monday, Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle criticized his players for abandoning his tactical blueprint during their 1-0 defeat to Everton at St James' Park, suggesting they ignored his instructions from kickoff.
Jaissle expressed frustration that his squad relied on long balls instead of the structured, vertical football he implemented following Eddie Howe's departure after five years in charge.
Thierno Barry scored the winner in the 49th minute after capitalizing on a mistake by goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek, marking Newcastle's seventh home defeat of 2026, the most of any Premier League side.
Midfielder Jacob Ramsey was sent off during the match, while Jaissle disputed a referee decision regarding a collision that left defender Fabian Schar injured on the play.
Newcastle faces a trip to Fulham on Saturday before the two-week international break, as the team struggles to rebuild confidence following "a negative spiral," Jaissle said.
