Brobbey is a proper throwback striker. Just put a little man next to him and Sunderland can bring back 4-4-2.

Instincts of a striker to get into the right positions to keep popping up with goals. We don't have anyone who can do that.
The scariest thing about this is we're going to have to play Murphy at right back 😂

He's bang on the money here. We looked good against teams that like to control the possession and give you space. The problem is 90% of the league doesn't play like this and we don't have a clue how to play against teams who sit deep and we do very little to address it. #NUFC
It’s the right decision by Newcastle, although it should have been done before the World Cup.
I said this in 2024, when the likes of Howe and Frank had very strong reputations. The reality is that if you want to consistently break into the top six, like Villa have managed to do, the mid-table overachiever profile based on excellent out-of-possession coaching is not going to cut it. You need much more control with the ball.
As for Jaissle, it feels more like a sidestep. Do Newcastle’s decision-makers understand what the issue with Howe actually was? Why did his approach, and the heavy bias towards out-of-possession attributes in profiling, lead to stagnation? Why did Newcastle struggle against weaker teams, especially when they sat off very zonally?
I’m not convinced they do. Jaissle would not be the young coach I would have appointed. From what I have seen, Jaissle has many of the same issues as Howe when it comes to generating control with the ball. His Al Ahli side are comfortably top four in the league for squad quality, yet they still struggle to consistently control games in possession. On paper, the decision-makers will probably look at his defensive record and be very happy. My concern is that those strengths will not scale to the Premier League in the same way and will create other second- and third-order issues. The only way I see Jaissle doing significantly better than Howe is if he makes substantial adaptations to his approach, which, based on his previous work, I think is unlikely.
