Jaissle needs some wins to quieten down the noise at Newcastle

Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie argues that Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle urgently needs victories to ease growing pressure following three losses in four Premier League matches. The slump has dropped Newcastle to 11th place ahead of Sunday's crucial league fixture against Crystal Palace, with Downie suggesting the German manager's vertical tactical system is leaving an overrun midfield and exposed defense.

Downie contends that Jaissle is deploying players out of position, including Yoane Wissa, Joe Willock, and £51m signing Mathias Fernandez-Pardo. While acknowledging mitigating factors such as a severe early-season injury crisis and a squad transition after Eddie Howe's departure, Downie suggests shifting to a three-man midfield to stabilize results.
