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

It's so funny reading the media reports and listening to Skysports and Talksport, Headlines, City Crashout ? Newcastle Statement win against a Strong City team,

If Manchester City wanted to progress into the next round last night's 1000% win put out our best 11.
I think somebody said that if we got to the quarter-final we would have had to play for the Fifa club trophy the day after. So simple to see why progressing makes no sense and impossible to play in both.

Manchester City did the right thing and played the league cup tie Unlike when United pulled out of the FA Cup 3-round because of the Fifa Cup
 
MCFC have become too big for the Carabao cup .
Let the smaller clubs like the rags dippers and Tarquins fight amongst themselves!

CTID ;-)

Kane is just a better footbalker..justcsaying.. Haaland's a beast all heart and effort, buylt he is no way a pure footbaler in comparison with a technician like a kane or Van Basten, anyone who has played the game can see that surely! Love Haaland but there are limitations to his ability..just saying

Both different types of strikers. Kane tends to drop into midfield more so than Haaland, I wouldn't say that makes Kane a better "footballer" than Haaland.
Kane was nowhere near Haaland at his age also.

I can think of numerous occasions Haaland dropped into midfield and created goals, Arsenal game last season for example pinning Holding and playing the ball to KDB.

Kane also doesn't have the movement that Haaland does along with Haalands pace and power.

Kane never scored 36 goals in a Premier League Season either.

Each to their own anyway we'll agree to disagree.
 
Its never ok to be out on the first hurdle in any competition and I can bet our players and coaching staff will feel the same. But the circumstances makes this exit mostly pain free or immaterial. We have won this competition numerous times in the recent past (4 years in a row at one time). We are the second most decorated winners of this competition (8 times). Although, league cup is a prestigious trophy to be won, lets be honest its no champions league, premier league or FA cup. For me, even Uefa Super cup and Club World cup are more important to us this year than the league cup. We are already super cup winners and the club world cup clashes with the league cup quarter final, if we had progressed yesterday. We would all love us to be Club World Cup Champions in Dec and if that means going out of league cup at any stage, so be it. I would like Newcastle to do one better and win the league cup this year. The piss boiling will be funny from the red shirts if that happens.

We have 4 massive trophies to win this year even after this elimination. Lets try and fight to get all 4.

ITS OUR TIME NOW!! BELIEVE! MCFC OK!

Hats off to every blue who travelled. That turnip Newcastle fan who butted in at the start saying where were the City fans in the 70s? Cheap, pathetic jibe. I recall a few jaunts up North to watch some very tight games across that decade and, just maybe a minor match at Wemberley in 1976 slipped his fuddled memory.
 
At least we get our loyalty points a lot earlier than usual for joining the cup scheme..

Not sure why Jack is getting so much grief on here...

As WhoScored shows, Grealish was one of Manchester City’s better performers on what was a disappointing night for the Citizens overall.

The 28-year-old completed 100% of his passes with 45 successful efforts, the only player on the pitch who played the entire 90 minutes to achieve that feat.

Grealish also registered three key passes – no player on the pitch recorded more – while winning three freekicks for the Citizens.

What’s worse is that so far on here I’ve seen the usual lazy judgemental tropes whittled out about him celebrating the treble and drinking as though it’s an unforgivable act and has some bearing on the fact that - nearly 4 months later - he’s just recovered from an injury that kept him out for the best part of a month HENCE WHY HE ISN’T FIT.

Pep had no intention of trying to win that game last night, what it turned out to be was a very useful training session for a number of the players - we come out of it with fitter players and no more injuries, which is what matters most. I just wish some on here would stop targeting the same individual players in the manner that we would normally expect from rival fans or the media.

I would have turned to him and quietly said “No, I wasn't a supporter in the 70s. I was a supporter in the 60s.”
In any case, is he suggesting that there are no new Newcastle fans in the last ten years? Or since the takeover? And would he not therefore welcome them?
I should bloody well hope City has got new fans over the last fifteen years or so. When I look around me in the SS, I see too many grey heads (like mine!). Worries me…
And I should hope, for the sake of his club, that it has acquired new and young fans too.
