‘That’s what I want’ – Matthias Jaissle highlights Newcastle star for exceptional commendation

MATTHIAS JAISSLE expressed his satisfaction with the significant contributions of his substitutes for the second consecutive home match during today’s 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, particularly praising Jacob Ramsey for his pivotal role in the comeback.

Newcastle struggled in the first half at St James’ Park, with Bournemouth taking a two-goal advantage thanks to an early strike from Marcus Tavernier and an own goal by Malick Thiaw.

A stunning goal from Harvey Barnes kept Newcastle in contention, and Jaissle’s adjustments in the second half were vital in securing a point.

Matias Fernandez-Pardo displayed moments of creativity on his debut for Newcastle, Sean Steur contributed to controlling the midfield, and Ramsey propelled the Magpies forward, ultimately scoring the equalizer in the 88th minute.

Two weeks prior, Joe Willock netted a goal just two minutes after coming off the bench against Liverpool, indicating that Jaissle is cultivating a positive trend of impactful substitutions.

“Hopefully, we will keep this up, making these substitutions,” remarked the Newcastle manager. “All of them made a significant contribution, not just JJ for scoring, but also the other players.

“They exhibited great energy and courage, which were essential for the turnaround. I am truly pleased to witness this. It’s not only about the starters; the players on the bench and even those not in the squad play a role in our success.

“Everyone performed well, but particularly JJ demonstrated remarkable character on the field, showing intensity in duels and bravery in possession, actively seeking the ball. His commitment when in possession was crucial for us today.”

Newcastle appeared to be in a difficult position when Bournemouth scored their second goal, but Jaissle was thrilled with how his players maintained their resolve and did not let their spirits falter.

Barnes’ curled goal instilled a sense of hope, and although they did not create a series of chances in the second half, they were significantly more competitive against Bournemouth during that period.

“I am truly pleased to see the response after we fell behind 2-0,” Jaissle remarked. “It’s not common to come back and equalize in the Premier League against such a formidable opponent.

“I believe this is something we can genuinely build upon. The players demonstrated great character, strong personality, and immense commitment, and their desire to win was evident until the final whistle.

“However, there is also a degree of frustration because we failed to perform at our best in the first half. Certain elements were lacking in our performance, and we could not match Bournemouth’s intensity. In the Premier League, it is essential to maintain peak performance for 90 minutes to secure three points.
