Under-fire Jaissle accepts blame for Newcastle misery

Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle has accepted responsibility for the team's poor form, blaming himself for Monday's 1-0 defeat to Everton. The defeat marks Newcastle's fourth loss in their last five games across all competitions. This is despite Jaissle being brought in to replace Eddie Howe, who unexpectedly left the club at the end of the summer transfer window.

The Magpies are currently languishing in 13th place in the Premier League as the pressure on Jaissle continues to mount. After a performance that saw Jacob Ramsey sent off in the closing moments of the match, Jaissle expressed his frustration with his players' lack of bravery and poor possession play. He claimed that Everton's early goal, scored by striker Thierno Barry, should have been disallowed for a foul on Newcastle defender Fabian Schar, but conceded his team struggled to capitalize on the chance.

With just two weeks until their next match against Fulham, Jaissle desperately needs a win to ease the pressure. This could provide Newcastle's Saudi owners with the opportunity to consider making a change in the managerial role before the team's next clash with champions Arsenal.
