Newcastle (A) | Wed 27th Sept | EFL Cup | Post Match Thread

[The Future’s Blue!]

Thought the game was ticking along nicely with Newcastle getting more feisty has it went on. The start of the second half changed things as they put more energy into it the contact was more prevalent. Fair play, they worked hard and put the boot into our players, like the good old PL should be.

However, Pep realised that it was getting a bit much, especially against our younger players, and had a word. He gets a card and then has a proper word with Howe, who looks into the abyss, thinking of what may come in future encounters. Too late for him, he’s decided that his team have to win this, regardless of future cost.

Pep will not forget.

You’re a **** and the few dicks who give you a thumbs up are well known cunts so enjoy.

No reason to be aggressive? I’ve always been a massive supporter of Grealish and my opinion today is nothing about him as an overall player. However, he shouldn’t get a pass as an auto first team selection. Pep has treated people like Foden in the same exact way, and you can use last season as an example. Foden had to work his way back in, the same way Grealish should. Doku was miles better today, and has shown tremendous improvement just within a a few games under Pep.

Congratulations to plucky minnows Newcastle on their famous night when against all the odds their youth team beat full strength Man City who were desperate to progress … sorry I just turned into the sky sports Commentators for a minute then

This may be hard for some to take but I wanted us out of the LC due to how the dates fell for other comp’s, and as we are out, no real issues on our part. What was interesting was how much they put into that game, so early in the season, and how that will effect them later in the season.

Carabao cup or club World Cup?
Players getting injured or giving players who need minutes, minutes?

Choose wisely.

It was never a choice. We'll be in Saudi Arabia the week of 12/18 to 12/22 playing for the Club World Cup. There were never any options. If we had made it to the quarterfinals of the league cup we would have had to field the academy squad, simple as.

 

[JewelZee]

We’d have done that 10 years ago against the best team in Europe.

15 years ago...maybe...

So did I .. doesn’t alter the fact that the commentary was totally bizarre

 

[threespires]

The fact the daft sods treat a CL qualified team beating us as a giant killing act suggests we are indeed in a league of our own. Just not tonight though, which I'm sure we can all live with in the circumstances. .

 

[JewelZee]

Really, do you think he would have got the ball tonight, been sayi g to my old fella, we will rue not getting Kane. He drops deep and is a far better player than Haaland will ever be. Love the viking, his attitude etc but he doesnt have Kane's guile

Please step away from the pipe with your hands in the air...LMFAO

If we had played with half the women’s team and half the Academy U12s the Sky reaction would have been exactly the same. Sad sad people

 

[Jim Tolmie's Underpants]

SWALES OUT!

These days they rarely get a chance to show their true bias and gloat when we lose. Tonight they did and boy did they take it. Never forgive or forget these media cunts.

 

[sutty66]

Lewis, Phillips, Gomez never make it at City or premier league level… Bobb shown them all up and he wasn’t great… Standards…

Pretty disgusting really considering they are supposed to be an impartial national broadcaster. Parity is all we ask refs and broadcasters. We would get more respect on Rag TV.

 

[City Raider]

Gomez plays 90. Haaland 0. All we need to know really.

 

[Tevez City]

Gomez plays 90. Haaland 0. All we need to know really.

Gomez wasn't even in the worst 3 tonight

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Are you sure about Lewis? Gomez maybe. Phillips meh!

It was a famous Geordie night don’t you know

 

[City Raider]

Gomez wasn't even in the worst 3 tonight

Wasn’t really talking about his performance, more Peps attitude to the game.

But from where I watched in the gods he was pretty poor.

 

[chaddblue]

Are you sure about Lewis? Gomez maybe. Phillips meh!

I thought Lewis was poor. Very erratic performance. Gomez was Gomez.. a championship standard player who somehow has found himself in the best team in the world

Phillips was very disappointing and might have played his way out of the arsenal match tonight. Pep will be coming up with an alternative plan

Bobb looks a great prospect. Just needs to develop his composure and decision making and we could have a cracking player on our hands. Reminds me a lot of Sane

Maybe we do not realise how big a scalp we are now , we start a game without ten players and we lose by one solitary goal and the media are going into a frenzy , because we have lost one game in a cup that is way down our priorities. Even the Barcodes are lapping this up like they have won the cup , but you would have to have a good memory to remember the Barcodes winning anything.
When the chips are down in the Premier league and Champs league we deliver , so losing in a much maligned competition is not going to change our season , just surprised when i tuned into News At Ten that it wasnt the leading headline that is how big a story it is when we lose a match, truly a back handed compliment , when the best team in the world lose a game all be it when resting £500m worth of players its big news
Good luck to the Geordies there are some obnoxious f*ckers amongst them , but if they dont piss their pants like they did last year against the Rags , i can see them going on to win their first trophy for a century or more and hopefully also beat the Dippers and Goons along the way.
