  "account": "Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle has accepted responsibility for the team's recent poor performance following a 1-0 loss to Everton on Monday. Hired after Eddie Howe's sudden exit, Jaissle's side failed to secure a win in their last five games across all competitions, dropping the Magpies to 13th place in the Premier League. The defeat came after Jacob Ramsey was sent off for a rough foul on Harrison Armstrong in the final minutes, prompting boos from the crowd directed at Jaissle and his players.\n\nIn a post-match press conference, Jaissle blamed himself for the team's struggles, stating, \"That's the reality and I am responsible for that.\" He acknowledged the need for improvement, saying, \"We need to work on the things we need to improve and after today, that is a lot.\" Newcastle's win record has been dismal, with only two wins in their last seven matches across all competitions, leading to speculation about Jaissle's future at the club.\n\nThe 38-year-old manager claimed that the late Everton goal should have been disallowed for a foul on Newcastle defender Fabian Schar. However, he admitted that his team lacked the bravery to come back from behind, describing the performance as a \"negative spiral.\" Jaissle expressed frustration with the referee's decision, arguing that his team deserved to win if they couldn't deliver when it mattered most.\n\nNewcastle's manager admitted that the team were lacking belief during the match, emphasizing the importance of unity in overcoming the difficult period. He added, \"We will analyze in detail and try and make things better against Fulham.\"",
