An unbeaten start to the season and through to the Carabao Cup fourth round, Matthias Jaissle could not have asked for a better start to life at Newcastle United as far as results go.
Their early attacking and defensive metrics, while a small sample size, do not feel especially sustainable yet mind, though at least Newcastle can seek improvement from a positive position results-wise.
But is it time for Matias Fernandez-Pardo to be handed a start at Leeds United on Monday night? What should supporters make of the latest communication from the executive team, in which they described the summer window as having “gone to plan”, Bruno Guimaraes leaving aside, but admitted “trading” will continue moving forwards? And are any other players set for new contracts after Lewis Hall?
