## Key points

- Newcastle have eight points from seven league games.
- Key players and Eddie Howe left over the summer.
- Jaissle faces pressure to improve results and performances.

## Summary

Newcastle’s poor start to the Premier League season has raised questions about manager Matthias Jaissle’s approach and the team’s identity. They have won only two of seven league matches and go into Sunday’s game at Crystal Palace after three defeats in four; another loss could increase pressure on Jaissle.

The club have lost several key figures since the end of last season, including manager Eddie Howe and players Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes, while Alexander Isak left for Liverpool earlier. Newcastle spent about £250m on summer signings, many aged 21 or under, but some have had limited playing time. Critics point to a lack of creativity in attack and defensive vulnerability, though supporters say a win could quickly change the mood.
