Newcastle are preparing for a trip to face Fulham after Monday's defeat by Everton, with head coach Matthias Jaissle addressing the approach he wanted from his players. Everton beat Newcastle in November, having also beaten them a few days earlier in the Carabao Cup.
Jaissle on the game plan
Jaissle said Newcastle wanted to be intense after Monday's defeat. He said his players had not carried out the plan they had worked on, and that the long balls were not supposed to happen.
The club's chosen style
As one senior source put it, Newcastle are “committed” to this style of play and believe it is “best suited” to the club and its fanbase. Newcastle hired Jaissle as head coach to spearhead that aim.
Season progress and Steur's cameo
Newcastle are nine games into the Premier League season. Sean Steur, who is 18 years old, made a 20-minute cameo against Everton on Monday.
