Furious Jaissle admits "I need to scream more" after Newcastle's Everton defeat

Matthias Jaissle admitted he may need to scream more at his Newcastle players after another night of costly mistakes saw us knocked out of the Carabao Cup at Everton.

The boss agreed this was the most frustrated he had been after a result, questioning our decision-making in all three goals and insisting the squad's youth could no longer excuse those errors.

There was a sharp response when he was asked how much of the 3-1 defeat came down to individual mistakes.

"Well, what do you think?"

He continued:

"And this is what is shocking and is frustrating as well and therefore probably also I need to scream more.

"But that's part of the game. You need to avoid these mistakes. Again, be more mature, more clinical in these situations. Just clearance, a pure clearance."

His anger was clear, but so was his insistence that Newcastle had played well enough in other areas to get a different result.

Clear instructions, familiar mistakes

Jaissle pointed to the failure to clear the ball before James Garner's opener, the defending in transition before Hayden Hackney's second and another dangerous loss of possession before Thierno Barry made it 3-0.

On the second goal, which followed a penalty appeal at the other end, he said:

"The second one is also frustrating as in my point of view we deserve to have a penalty on the other hand.

"And then you miss that in a transition then to defend their own box, which is again for me difficult to accept. We have clear rules then how to behave in these matters."

He also made it clear that patience with a young squad only goes so far:

"This is a learning process, but you don't get the time. And we need to learn fast especially with these young lads. That's also not anymore an excuse then."

As our match report highlighted, Newcastle had 29 shots but were badly lacking in both boxes. Jaissle felt the fighting spirit and chance creation had improved, while accepting we needed to turn those opportunities into better chances and more goals.

Jaissle defends his system

Asked whether the way Newcastle play is sustainable when players keep making mistakes, Jaissle pushed back against the suggestion that the structure was responsible.

"I think again structure-wise we did well. We pressed the opposition high. We had many ball wins. We could transfer them even in shots.

"This is an improvement we had already but we need to be there again more efficient to score more goals out of these opportunities."

It's fair to expect a player to clear the ball when danger is obvious. But if the instructions are clear and the mistakes keep happening, Jaissle still has a problem to solve. He has to get those decisions right more consistently, whether through selection, work on the training pitch or adjustments to what he asks of the players.

The pressing and chances created offer him something to build on. They won't count for much if opponents keep getting such easy opportunities at the other end, and Monday's meeting with Everton gives us little time to put that right.
