Everyone goes forward and it’s hard to keep defending as well as the first minutes.”The result is not what happened in the game. I’ve seen so many games where it’s 2-1 and you draw.“I don’t feel concerned. We’ve done many things right. It’s clear what we have to improve. It’s easy to work on because we know the things we need to do better. If we improve them, I’m sure we’ll have a great season.”Matthias Jaissle reacts to 4-1 defeatGonzalez’s comments where then put to Jaissle, who was asked if he felt concerned by the nature of the defeat.”No, because you need to see the overall picture,” Jaissle told the Gazette. “There were elements where we really improved.“The goals, how we conceded them, four goals, it’s for sure too much, and it’s not good enough. But on the analytics side, we need to break it down, how these goals were happening. These are things we need to avoid to step up.”While Gonzalez and Jaissle may not be concerned, it’s fair to say alarm bells are ringing for certain sections of the fan base.Despite successive heavy away defeats, Newcastle remain 11th in the Premier League table.
