Newcastle United are wrestling with the question of how to get the best out of their £51m summer signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo
Newcastle United manager Matthias Jaissle defended forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo following the club's 4-1 loss to Coventry City, stating that only goals are missing from the young attacker's performances. The 21-year-old Belgian arrived on transfer deadline day for £51 million and missed several major opportunities during the defeat.
Scott Wilson argues that Fernandez-Pardo's ideal attacking position remains uncertain among roles as a central striker, playmaker, or winger. Jaissle maintained confidence in the forward, emphasizing his deep runs and versatility while acknowledging that failing to convert chances proved to be a decisive tipping point in the match.
