Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle is preparing his side to recover from consecutive Premier League defeats to Coventry City and Aston Villa.
Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle faces his first significant scrutiny after back-to-back defeats to Coventry City and Aston Villa. The 1-0 home loss to Aston Villa drew boos from St James' Park, with Jaissle visibly frustrated after his defence allowed a free header from Johan Manzambi.
Jaissle, appointed on 5 August, said the autumn slump was anticipated given the circumstances of his arrival. Eddie Howe resigned before a compensation dispute with Al-Ahli delayed Jaissle's appointment, leaving little time for pre-season and forcing numerous changes to the backroom team. Jaissle told reporters: "It is exactly what we anticipated at the beginning. We joined really late. We almost had no pre-season." He said the consecutive defeats represented "ups and downs" that the club must now overcome.
The manager has emphasised clear principles for improvement: harder work in training, winning more duels and eliminating defensive lapses. He pledged that sticking to these principles would result in more clean sheets. Newcastle travel to Crystal Palace next, where victory would lift them back into the top ten and provide some respite from the scrutiny that has intensified over his tactical approach, particularly regarding what has been described as 'vertical football'.
