Newcastle United drew 2-2 against Liverpool in an intense and emotional match. Manager Matthias Jaissle, speaking on BBC Match of the Day, expressed his disappointment at failing to get the three points, saying: "Ultimately, I'm a bit disappointed. We were so close to getting the three points, I'm sure. But there are also some positives, because the boys did an incredible job for over 90 minutes. We're a young team and they really left their hearts on the pitch, and that's something we can build on."
Jaissle also commented on the penalty awarded to Liverpool: "If you give it, it's really, really light, and then you should give many, many penalties during the match and throughout the season. I'm not a big fan of the decision. I'm proud, we're proud to see a unity on the pitch. The boys tried to play the intense way we wanted. Up front, with a vertical approach. After such a short time, I'm really happy. That's our philosophy, yes. It depends on the opponent, but we have a clear idea of how we want to play football and today we saw a lot of that. I saw the youngsters fighting for everything. It was a good synergy with the fans. It's going to be a really good season and we're going to give it a shot. It's going to be something special.
On the other hand, Newcastle's young winger Anthony Elanga shared his emotions after the match: "Mixed emotions. It was a good performance. But I'm disappointed to concede a goal like that in the final seconds. To think that the manager [Matthias Jaissle] has only been here three weeks and we've played like this, it's important that we take the positives from this match and apply them in the next one."
Elanga also spoke about his goal at St James' Park: "Resolution. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I've worked hard for these moments, especially in the summer and after the World Cup. I wanted to improve my game and I took this opportunity. It was the first conclusion of the match. It was a moment I really wanted to grab. The whole team played really well. If we can apply ourselves like this every single week, we will have a fantastic season."
Finally, on his relationship with the new manager: "The manager has been exceptional since he arrived. The way he wants us to play, you can all see it on and off the pitch. When we leave, we really dig deep. We could have closed this game earlier, as we created a lot of opportunities. But it's only the first game. There are still 37 games left in the Premier League championship."
With this draw, Newcastle still find themselves in a difficult situation, having dropped 29 points from leading positions in the Premier League since the start of last season. Only Wolfsburg fared worse among teams in Europe's top five leagues. Furthermore, Newcastle remain winless in their last 20 Premier League matches against Liverpool, with 6 draws and 14 defeats, the last victory dating back to December 2015.
What happens now
As the season continues, Newcastle will need to keep their motivation high and continue to develop their style of play. The synergy between players and fans, as underlined by Jaissle, will be crucial to face the next challenges in the Premier League. The upcoming matches will offer Newcastle the opportunity to consolidate their position and demonstrate their growth as a club.
