Newcastle players seek greater clarity on Matthias Jaissle’s demands

Newcastle players are struggling to understand the requirements of head coach Matthias Jaissle, according to a source close to the dressing room who spoke to the Daily Mail.

Despite those difficulties, the squad continues to support the German manager and wants to improve the club’s position in the Premier League.

Experienced members of the team accept that they must take responsibility for the situation. However, they are seeking a clearer understanding of Jaissle’s instructions and the roles he expects them to perform during matches.

Some players have also questioned why Newcastle continue to operate with a number 10 when they do not believe there is a player in the squad who is genuinely suited to that position.

Newcastle have collected 11 points and are 13th in the Premier League.
