Jaissle’s side were condemned to a fourth loss in their last five games in all competitions when Everton striker Thierno Barry scored early in the second half at St James’ Park. Newcastle midfielder Jacob Ramsey was sent off in the closing seconds for a crude foul on Harrison Armstrong before boos rained down on Jaissle and his players at the final whistle. Newcastle are languishing in 13th place in the Premier League as the pressure mounts on Jaissle.
Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle told angry fans to blame him for Monday’s damaging 1-0 defeat against Everton.
“After a performance like that I can understand. Jaissle was frustrated by Newcastle’s second defeat against Everton in the space of five days following last week’s League Cup fourth round loss on Merseyside. But he conceded his players had struggled to show the bravery required to get back in the game. “It’s almost like a negative spiral. I’m not happy with the referee decision.
“Unfortunately we couldn’t deliver actually over the whole 90 minutes it was not our game and our style of playing.
That’s the reality and I am responsible for that,” Jaissle said. For me it’s a clear foul on Fabian Schar,” he said.
That two-week gap gives Newcastle’s Saudi owners an opportunity to consider making a managerial change before the team return to action against champions Arsenal.
