Jaissle took responsibility after Newcastle supporters made their anger clear. Their disappointment was evident at the final whistle, and the manager said he understood their reaction. After the St James’ Park match, Newcastle United had suffered five losses over their preceding seven fixtures across all competitions, Football Presse reported. In the Premier League, the side have lost four of their first nine matches and are 13th in the table.

Newcastle struggled to take control against Everton and could not respond after falling behind. Jaissle did not deflect criticism, acknowledging that his team needed to improve its performances significantly. “Great frustration, great disappointment,” he told the BBC. He also said he understood the supporters’ reaction after such a display, adding: “I take responsibility for it.”

The manager said Newcastle had not managed to carry their style of play through the whole match. Speaking to Sky Sports, he acknowledged that his side had not been brave enough in possession and had resorted to too many long balls. He regretted that the team had not used its double pivot as it had against Everton a few days earlier. “We have to work on improving, and after today there is a great deal to address,” he added.

The crowd’s response and Newcastle’s struggles also drew comment from Jamie Carragher. “It is going to be a tough season for them,” he said. He described the team’s home performances as lacking energy, adding that he had not expected to describe Jaissle’s Newcastle that way. The recent results and league position underline the pressure: Newcastle are 13th and have lost four of their first nine league matches.

Jaissle also spoke of a lack of confidence among both the younger and more experienced players. He urged the squad to get through the period together and work on the areas that need improvement. The manager said the supporters’ disappointment after the setback was a reality for which he was responsible.
