Newcastle's slow start raises concerns over squad balance

Newcastle United has had a slow start to the season under new manager Matthias Jaissle, who replaced Eddie Howe in the summer.

The team has undergone significant changes, with several key players leaving the club. Midfielders Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali joined Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham, respectively. Anthony Gordon moved to Barcelona.

New signings have been made, with a significant investment of over £250M in players like Nico Gonzalez, Matias Fernandez-Pardo, and Bazoumana Traore.

According to reports, several long-standing Newcastle players are concerned that the balance of the squad has been disrupted, which may be affecting their performance under Jaissle.

Before the November international break, Newcastle will face Fulham on November 7th.

The changes in the team and the new signings may be contributing to the team's early-season struggles.
