BBC Match of the Day commentator at Elland Road
Image source, Getty ImagesDown in the interview area beneath the Elland Road stands I watched on as Matthias Jaissle completed the first of his multiple television commitments. Once done, the BBC were next, so I got into position, microphone in hand, ready to go. I wait. I wait. I wait some more. There is an awkward vibe as I stand there.
Jaissle, just a few feet away, has opted to remove his blazer, the spotlights, plus multiple media bodies in and around the tight row of interview cubicles only adds to the high temperature of a late summer evening in Yorkshire. The Newcastle head coach then opts to carefully sip from a bottle of water. After a minute or two has passed, he comes over, we shake hands, and conduct a routine post-match interview.
It's only after the German leaves, a colleague informs me Jaissle had said he wanted to compose himself because of the shouting he had been doing in the dressing room. The 38 year-old wasn't being rude by keeping me waiting. Instead, he was ensuring despite what I presume was blood boiling underneath his skin, the image presented, and verbal delivery on screen was calm, considered and far from hyperbolic.
It was a bad night for Newcastle, a learning curve for their youthful squad and new look coaching staff. Jaissle confirmed the post-mortem analysis would begin straight away on the bus journey back to Newcastle.
We asked for your views after Monday's Premier League game between Leeds United and Newcastle United.
Here are some of your comments:
Leeds fans
Ben: This is the importance of sticking with your manager. The job Daniel Farke is doing is incredible. He's building a team that other teams look scared to play against. This was a statement win and, despite being early days, Leeds have a genuine solidarity about them which could get them European football this season.
Radley: Leeds are finding their rhythm and showing a confidence that they gained towards the end of last season. With progress like this and the belief that they could enjoy a couple more results of this stature, it wouldn't be surprising to see Leeds sneak into a European spot.
Mark: Wow, what a result and what a brilliant performance. Whole team playing together and with even more room for improvement. Happy days and congratulations to Farke and his team getting us to this place.
Carl: It was an impressive and deserved winning performance, albeit against a below strength Newcastle.
Newcastle fans
David: Inept. Looked all out of balance in midfield. Leeds played 3-5-2 and nobody picked up Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who must have thought it was his birthday. The sooner Dan Burn and Joelinton get back the better. This line-up has no bite.
Alvin: Honeymoon for Matthias Jaissle well and truly over. Past few results papered over cracks that Leeds ruthlessly exploited. Sven Botman looks lost and Malick Thiaw is too quiet as captain. Amar Dedic is great going forward but Leeds have shown the rest of the league how to attack the space he leaves behind. Jaissle has his work cut out.
Shaun: Newcastle bullied and beaten to second and third balls. Struggled against a better organised, confident team. Botman still not at his best and we're missing experience in midfield. We also lacked any penetration in attack. I fear for what is going to be a long season. Leeds taught us and the manager a lesson.
Steve: It was like boys versus men. I fear for Newcastle this season as they look very weak and disjointed.
Former Magpies defender John Anderson, speaking on BBC Radio Newcastle: "You have to say the best side won. In that first half, Leeds just totally dominated. They won every second ball. They were better in every aspect of the game.
"It was a hard watch in that first half. Newcastle weren't winning second balls, Leeds were picking everything up, winning the 50/50s. They got themselves 3-0 up and I suppose at half-time the game was really over because, on the evidence of that first half, it was difficult to see how we were going to get back into it.
"The game got scrappy in the second half. Leeds sat back and defended a lot deeper than they had in the first half. We had a little bit of the ball but we didn't do a great deal with it. It's the first setback that the manager has had and it's back to the drawing board.
"Yes, it's great when things are going well and you're winning games. It's how you react to that setback. We'll find out soon enough, come Saturday afternoon. You want to see a reaction. Yet again, we've conceded far too any shots and didn't have enough shots.
"Matthias Jaissle needs to find the right blend. At this moment in time, he doesn't seem to have it.
"We've been well beaten. No real excuses, you've just got to hold your hands up and say the better side won and they won very, very comfortably."

Image source, Getty ImagesNo side will relish coming up against Dominic Calvert-Lewin and this aggressive Leeds outfit at Elland Road this season.
In fact, only Arsenal (52), Manchester City (50), Manchester United (45) and Bournemouth (37) have won more Premier League points in 2026 than Leeds United (35), with the Whites suffering just a single defeat across their past 13 league matches.
Yet Newcastle's implosion on Monday was remarkable as a young team were bullied and outfought.
Newcastle had previously made a good start under head coach Matthias Jaissle, following so much change in the summer, and were unbeaten in their opening five games in all competitions before this reality check.
But they have faced more shots than any other side in the Premier League.
However clinical Newcastle were in the opening weeks of the campaign, they mustered just eight efforts on target against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth before their trip to Elland Road.
That was a dangerous cocktail going into this game.
What was most galling, though, was the visitors' failure to match Leeds' bite at a raucous Elland Road.
Jaissle's side crumbled and conceded three goals in a chastening 14-minute period in the first half.
It was a night the German manager swore in his post-match news conference to illustrate how low he felt.
"I don't want to point fingers and point any players out tonight," he said. "We were not matching as a team the level of intensity, the level of duel behaviours, the level of physicality.
"This is something we need to bring on the pitch in every match. This is non-negotiable. It should be the basic fundamentals of football.
"These are young lads. The learning curve needs to be fast."
Newcastle starting XI:
Lukas Hornicek: This would have been even uglier for the visitors were it not for Hornicek making fine saves to twice deny Bogle and also to foil Calvert-Lewin. 6
Amar Dedic: Shook off hamstring issue to start, but a tough night as Leeds repeatedly targeted his flank. 4
Malick Thiaw: Captain for night but this was far from a captain's performance. Beaten easily by Calvert-Lewin for Leeds' second goal, slapped turf in frustration after the striker fired past him for the third and then failed to block Okafor's fourth. 3
Sven Botman: Like Thiaw, could not cope with Calvert-Lewin and was skinned so easily for Leeds' second goal. 3
Lewis Hall: Dragged out of position in build-up of Leeds' second goal. Not the night he had in mind after signing a new deal. 4
Nico Gonzalez: Belatedly came off after just 19 minutes after the ball struck him in the head in the early stages. 5
Lewis Miley: Little he could do for deflection for Tanaka's goal, but was overrawed by Leeds' tenacious midfield. Had little time to find passing rhythm. 4
Jacob Murphy: Continued in injured Anthony Elanga's absence, but did not offer enough protection and caused Leeds few problems going the other way. 3
Yoane Wissa: Created Newcastle's best chance and at least battled and chased, even if his final ball was not always great. 5
Harvey Barnes: Has a fearsome record against Leeds and eyes lit up when he danced inside the box only for Trafford to deny him. 5
Matias Fernandez-Pardo: Full debut following his £51.4m move from Lille. Had little to feed off as Newcastle repeatedly played long balls forward. 4
Newcastle substitutes:
Sean Steur (on 19, Gonzalez): Thrown into the cauldron after Gonzalez went off. Could do little about deflection before Leeds' first goal but gave the ball away in build up to Leeds' second. Eighteen-year-old will learn from experience. 4
Bazoumana Toure (on 58, Murphy): So rapid and pulled one back. Bright cameo as he pushes for a start. 6
Joe Willock (on 58, Fernandez-Pardo): One decent chance landed on roof of net from tight angle. 5
Tino Livramento (on 58, Dedic): Another step on return from injury. Set up Toure's consolation. 6
Aladji Bamba (on 79, Miley): A rare sighting following his summer move from Monaco. 5
Subs not used: Pope, Schar, Ramsey, M.Miley

Image source, Getty ImagesAfter Eddie Howe handed in his resignation following the departure of key players such as Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes, many tipped new boss Matthias Jaissle's Newcastle to struggle this season.
After conceding a 99th-minute equaliser against Liverpool on the opening day, perceptions shifted and carried on into victory at Tottenham Hotspur and a comeback draw with Bournemouth.
But this thrashing by Leeds is a wake-up call.
At times, Newcastle have looked wide open at the back with goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek making the most saves in the league so far.
Not only did Leeds score four, but they had 16 attempts on Newcastle's goal and will feel they should have scored more.
Once Leeds' challenge gathered pace, it felt as though the Magpies had no answer for it - and the scoreboard reflected that.
After an encouraging start with five points out of a possible nine, the real work will start for Jaissle after this humbling loss.
Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle, speaking to BBC Sport: "That was a tough match, a tough evening. We said beforehand this season would be with many challenges and tonight we faced a big challenge. A tough night, we didn't wish to have that but we need to learn straight away and the good part is we play at home on Saturday and we need to show the right reaction straight away.
"We are all in the same boat, I don't want to blame anyone. In the Premier League you need to bring the fundamentals on to the pitch, the physicality. If the opponent is showing that and if you can't match this physicality then it's going to be difficult and that's something we learned today.
"I don't want to search for excuses. We know with a young squad if something goes wrong you need to find the right reaction on the pitch and we were not able to do that."
Did you know?
Newcastle's six game unbeaten run against Leeds in the Premier League came to an end this evening (W2 D4), suffering their first defeat against them since January 2021.
Whether you were at the game or following from elsewhere, we want to know what you learned.

What did you make of Newcastle's display?
Reaction and analysis to follow - and come back on Tuesday for a selection of your replies.
Newcastle are the new counter-attack kings and I am expecting more of the same from them here.
It will be interesting to see how Leeds boss Daniel Farke tries to deal with that. He has been quite versatile with the way he has set his side up this season.
Leeds have shown a bit more steel in their league games too, and look well organised, but at the same time I don't know if they carry as much of an attacking threat as they did previously.
I probably still fancy Leeds more to win this because they are at home, but Newcastle showed plenty of fight against Bournemouth last week and this will probably end up in a draw too.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Sophie Brown
BBC Sport journalist
Leeds United host Newcastle United with both teams yet to suffer defeat in this season's Premier League.
Leeds' unbeaten start continues the streak of resilience that was evident in the second half of 2025-26, notably after head coach Daniel Farke's much-heralded switch to a back three last winter.
Farke's side have lost just one of their past 12 games in the league (W5, D6), a run stretching back to mid-March, and which only two other top-flight teams can match.
After Saturday's draw at Brighton, where they had suffered an abject 3-0 defeat last season, Farke spoke of his side playing "with confidence" and being "much more settled now".
The new signings have also bedded in well, in particular Tarik Muharemovic, who has had to fill the sizeable shoes of Pascal Struijk – the Bosnian has made 16 headed clearances so far, joint-top of the Premier League standings alongside Sunderland's Dan Ballard. And he used his head at the other end of the pitch to score his first Leeds goal in the midweek Carabao Cup defeat by Chelsea.
Elland Road is always a tough place to visit, and Leeds held Newcastle to a 0-0 draw there last season, in contrast to the seven-goal epic on Tyneside in the reverse fixture.
In only three seasons previously have Leeds avoided defeat in each of their first four Premier League games, the most recent of which was in 2001-02, when they went on to finish in the top five for the fifth year in a row.
A return to those heady days might not be imminent but a quarter of a century later, there is a sense that the optimism is back.
With a win and two draws, Newcastle have an identical Premier League record to Leeds this season, but they have scored – and conceded – twice as many goals.
The Magpies have scored twice in all three of their Premier League games so far, despite having had just eight shots on target in total. Their four shots on target in the past two league matches have produced four goals.
They are overperforming their xG (3.01) by three goals, which shows clinical finishing from the few opportunities they have had, but that is unlikely to be sustainable over the course of a season.
Furthermore, while Newcastle might be making the most of their chances, their opponents are not. The Mapgies have faced a division-high 61 shots (an average of 20.3 a game) yet have conceded just four goals.

Allan Saint-Maximin proved something of a cult figure as Newcastle fought to stay in the Premier League for much of his time at the club.
Saint-Maximin also sampled the highs as a resurgent Newcastle qualified for the Champions League in his final campaign on Tyneside in 2023.
But he was only too aware that staff "could lose their jobs" if they went down.
"When you feel that opportunity, that feeling on your shoulder, you are like, 'this is heavy'," he says.
Saint-Maximin embraced that responsibility after quickly striking up a bond with Newcastle supporters following his move from Nice.
He volunteered at the city's foodbank and even gave fans gifts, including Rolex watches.
"If I was able to give all of my money to them, I would because there is nothing better than the feeling they give you," he adds. "It's something you can't buy, and I've tried to.
"The love they give to you, when I ran with the ball, I had the feeling of people behind me and I ran because of them.
"This feeling is incredible. I wish the same for every single player because they can bring the best out of you."
Saint-Maximin spent four years at Newcastle - the longest stint in his nomadic career - before joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.
He worked with Newcastle's current head coach, Matthias Jaissle, who took over from Eddie Howe this summer.
Saint-Maximin hopes the German and his staff "have the best possible time" at St James' Park - just as he did.
"Newcastle is my dream club," he says. "I love it from the bottom of my heart. I watch every single game.
"They gave me what no-one gave to me and I'll never forget that. I'm very loyal. I had many opportunities to come to the Premier League, but I didn't because of them."
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on Lewis Hall committing his long-term future to Newcastle United after a second summer of key player exits.
Here are some of your comments:
Emily: He was the one player I said I didn't want to lose during the transfer window, so I'm delighted he is staying. He is great defensively as well as going forward. He has such a bright future ahead of him.
Kevin: Yes, I am relieved. He is a class player and we need his experience now more than ever, especially with the younger players we now have at the club. I feel he is a future club captain.
David: Lewis Hall should be made vice captain now. That way, he will be ready to take over from big Dan Burn next season.
Matthew: He is exactly the type of player 'Newcastle 2.0' should be built around. This contract also means more money if he is sold, so it is a win-win.
Richard: The best news I've had in ages! The interest from Manchester United was disconcerting so I'm delighted we've got him on a long, solid contract now. I get that we need to be good sellers, but we also need to be a very good squad. Plus, there are some players you just don't want to sell.

Image source, Getty ImagesThis has been a busy summer at Newcastle - both in terms of ins and outs - but tying Lewis Hall down is a particularly significant move.
It was just last month that Matthias Jaissle replied "no chance" when Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel informed him that his former side were looking at Hall.
This deal further strengthens the club's position.
It also rewards Hall for his development since he arrived from Chelsea as a raw left-back three years ago.
Hall has worked on the defensive side of his game and, on his day, proved he is capable of even keeping Barcelona star Lamine Yamal quiet from open play in the Champions League.
He has been a real outlet going forward for Newcastle, too, and has already set up two goals this season.
That should not come as a huge surprise.
Of those full-backs to play a minimum of 900 minutes across the Premier League last season, Hall led the way for high-speed runs and underlapping runs per game. He also ranked in the top three for dribbles completed per match.
It feels like there is a lot more to come from him as he looks to get back into the England squad after missing out on the World Cup.
Former Magpies defender John Anderson believes summer arrivals Bazoumana Toure and Aladji Bamba will have to remain patient after limited minutes so far this season.
He told BBC Radio Newcastle: "The pace of the game in the Premier League is an awful lot quicker and more physical than we see in other European Leagues. They're still young boys, they're still learning to adapt to the pace of it and they'll get time when the manager thinks they're ready.
"He obviously feels that they're not quite ready at this moment in time. He sees them in training. Listening to what he said, they seem to be getting better in training as the sessions go on but they're going to have to bide their time. "

Image source, Getty Images"He is a very important player for us and for what we are building here, so this is exciting news," said head coach Matthias Jaissle after Newcastle United announced Lewis Hall's new long-term contract.
Since arriving at St James' Park on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy in August 2023, Hall has made 107 senior appearances - scoring three goals and contributing nine assists - and lifted the Carabao Cup.
Hall has also made four England appearances since receiving his first senior call-up in November 2024, but controversially missed out on Thomas Tuchel's final 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup.
The Magpies lost key players in Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon this summer, while experienced figures, like Joe Willock, Jacob Murphy, Nick Pope, Dan Burn, Fabian Schar and Mark Gillespie, have contracts that expire next year.
So are you relieved Hall has committed his future to St James' Park, especially after a second summer of key player exits? And should Newcastle look to tie anyone else down to a new contract from the list above?
Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle left-back Lewis Hall is "absolutely delighted" to sign a new contract with the club that runs until 2031.
Hall, 22, has made 106 appearances for Newcastle since joining from Chelsea in 2023.
He said it was a "really proud moment" to extend his stay as a boyhood supporter of the club.
"It's an absolute pleasure to play for this club and to represent the supporters," Hall said. "I know how much it means to them.
"The fanbase and the support we get here, whether it's at St James' Park or away, is the best in the league. To be able to bring joy to their faces is a big thing for me.
"I obviously have a family connection with the club, which is incredibly important to us all. One of the main reasons I play is to make my family proud, and I know how much it means to them to watch me playing for Newcastle United.
"It's a really good place to be. It's really pleasing how we've started the season, especially with the new gaffer and coaching staff coming in, and I think we can go on to achieve really big things."
Matthias Jaissle said the defender is a "very important player for us and for what we are building here".
"His mentality is exactly what you want in a young player," he said. "He wants to learn every day and he wants to be better in every match.
"Lewis covers ground in a way that few players can. He defends with maturity and intelligence, and his technical level means he can support the team higher up the pitch.
"What excites me most is that I believe the best is still to come from Lewis. He has a lot of room to develop and I am looking forward to working with him as he grows with us."
How important is this deal for Newcastle's long-term success? Does it bring a sense of relief following a second consecutive summer of disruption losing key players?
