Matthias Jaissle can transform his Newcastle reign by making one selection change

Matthias Jaissle is just eight games into his Newcastle United tenure, but the question marks are already emerging at St James' Park.

Under his watch, the Magpies have beaten West Brom and Millwall in the Carabao Cup, plus Tottenham Hotspur and Hull City in the Premier League.

It's not been an awful start to life in England for the 38-year-old, but scoring goals against Newcastle has been far too easy for many.

His side shipped four goals against Coventry City and Leeds United in recent weeks, causing them to be sitting 11th in the league standings.

Losing Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon in one window was going to be difficult for any manager, especially with the quality of reinforcement brought in.

The supporters at St James' Park, however, want results, and that is to be expected after so many successful years with Eddie Howe at the helm.

Newcastle United boss increasingly likely to be sacked

Newcastle have entered into a new era, though, and with that needs to come patience and a change in expectations.

At the same time, PIF are still the same owners, and it would not be a surprise if they were to already be listening to some of the fan uproar.

Before the defeat to Coventry, Jaissle was priced at 20/1 as the next Premier League manager to leave his post, but that has changed drastically.

Now, the 38-year-old is priced at 15/2 by one major bookmaker, raising major question marks over his future at St James' Park already.

And rightly so. Eyebrows were raised when he replaced Howe initially, and many of his team's performances so far have been rather unconvincing.

Matthias Jaissle can save his own future with one key change

The clash against Coventry has really exposed Matias Fernandez-Pardo's weaknesses as a lone striker, despite signing for £51million in the summer.

He missed multiple key chances against the Sky Blues, and the 21-year-old Belgian has yet to score his first goal in Newcastle colours.

Many believe that Fernandez-Pardo would be far more effective off the left flank, being allowed to cut onto his right foot, acting as a source of creativity.

He simply isn't right as a centre-forward in the Premier League, and Newcastle will only get the best from him in a different position.
