Jaissle 'aware' of Newcastle needs after Everton friendly loss
Matthias Jaissle says he is "aware" of Newcastle's shortcomings after a comfortable 3-1 friendly defeat by Everton.
Newcastle United's pre-season friendly against Everton at Murrayfield revealed the need for further reinforcements in the transfer market, according to new head coach Matthias Jaissle. The 3-1 defeat highlighted the team's vulnerability, particularly in defense, and despite a promising start, they failed to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities.
Jaissle acknowledged the squad's needs and vowed to remain consistent in his approach, emphasizing the importance of addressing these issues internally. The German coach noted that the team's young age and the departures of key players earlier this summer had created vacuums for experienced players to fill. Newcastle remains interested in signing a right-back, an older central midfielder, and potentially another addition before the transfer window closes on September 1st.
