ALAN SHEARER says Matthias Jaissle will face the Toon Army’s fury if Newcastle fail to bounce back against Aston Villa.
The Magpies were after being in their previous away match.
Fans are already questioning the German’s 4-2-3-1 formation — especially without a recognised No 10 and a wide-open defence.
will be at St James’ Park for the game tomorrow and he admits Jaissle desperately needs his team to get something.
’s record goalscorer told Betfair : “They have got to bounce back. You need a game straight away — and they have got it on Saturday.
“It’s not acceptable at any home or away game to lose how they have done. But they won’t get away with it now — not with 52,000 fans there.
“Depending on what happens with the result, you will find out what Newcastle is and can be.
“If they don’t get the right result Matthias Jaissle will feel the anger of the fans, unless they see a massive improvement. That’s not acceptable, going away twice and conceding four goals.”
But Shearer, 56, who hit 206 goals in ten years with Newcastle, added: “You can overreact sometimes because if Newcastle had gone to and won, they’d have been fourth.
“Newcastle are where I thought they’d be at this stage of the season, so there’s no panic.”
Jaissle looks set to be boosted by the return of Brazilian midfielder to the starting line-up after he got his first minutes of the season off the bench at Coventry following a knee injury.
Club captain also got his first action since in the dying seconds against the Sky Blues.
But the 6ft 7in defender, who has been out with an ankle problem, looks unlikely to be thrown back in despite the need to plug a leaky defence.
Jaissle said: “We missed them so much.
“Joe has had more training compared to Dan and the next steps for both of them is to give them more game time.
“For Dan it will most likely be too soon to get that starting position already as he’s just trained a couple of times. But for Joelinton it could be a bit different.”
Jaissle also revealed that the knee injury which forced Bazoumana Traore off at Coventry is not serious and the Ivorian attacker is available this weekend.
Fellow winger (hamstring) and midfielder (thigh) are both set to return to training next week after being sidelined for over a month.
And he added that full-back should be back “in the next weeks” after a calf injury.
