Analysis: Jaissle shows pragmatic side

[Getty Images] This was the first meeting between the clubs since 1992 in which Eddie Howe has not been in either dugout - a total of 24 fixtures. On that occasion 34 years ago the late Kevin Keegan was Magpies boss while Tony Pulis was in charge of the Cherries. The Geordie nation will have relished some of the Keeganian attacking swagger shown by Newcastle's players so far under new boss Matthias Jaissle. But aspects of their defensive play in this game, especially in the first half, were a tad reminiscent of the leaky Newcastle 'entertainers' team from the Nineties. Bournemouth cut a rather disorganised home side apart with ease on occasions, with black-and-white striped shirts left chasing shadows as passes were threaded between the lines. Newcastle were especially hesitant in possession at the back as Sven Botman carried the ball out of defence with the appearance of a man who had forgotten where he had parked his car. Jaissle to his credit managed to get Newcastle a bit more organised after the break and they regained some control in midfield to stifle Bournemouth's creativity. A bit more pragmatism allowed them to remain in the contest and provided the platform for Jacob Ramsey to equalise. Jaissle looks like a man still finding his feet at St James' Park but a willingness to adapt when things are not going his way, and grind out a result, should serve him well.
