Jaissle frustrated after Newcastle's Everton defeat

Newcastle United lost 0-1 to Everton in their home Premier League match. Head coach Matthias Jaissle said that launching long balls into the opponent's half was not part of the plan.

Newcastle have won only one of their five home league matches this season. The side, who have collected 11 points from nine matches, sit 13th in the league.

The 38-year-old German coach, who took over in August after Eddie Howe's departure, said the players were unable to carry what they worked on in training onto the pitch. Jaissle stressed that the team has a clear identity of play and, especially at home, wants to press the opponent high and squeeze them.

Jaissle admitted that they were not brave enough to make the final passes and force the opponent into mistakes. He said they had talked about patterns and 2 v 1 situations, but that little was seen over 90 minutes, and added that they need to work on this.
