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

Not sure what Gomez did wrong ? Thought he was fine first half, then he was put at LB again (didn't do a lot wrong there either for me), but he really isn't a LB.

so you missed him giving the ball away then?

 

[chaddblue]

I think we'll be better when Stones, Rodri, KDB, Haaland, Bernardo, Walker, Dias & Ederson return

Maybe the co commentator should be told. I’m sure he thought it was our full strength team and they were desperate to win

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

Fair fucks from Howe. Praised us. Said result was right. Can’t argue. He wants this and this could be the cup like we won in 2011.

I’ve never seen a person talk like he does though, where the teeth don’t separate. It’s like his top and bottom teeth are joined, and he just moves his lips. Weird.

I hope you sleep well......

Sky bigging up a 3rd round toon victory for the ages, in a cup no-one gives a shit about.

Can anybody name the teams that got through the 3rd round of the Spanish/Italian/German/French/Dutch equivalent of our fizzy cup?

Nah, didn't think so.

Yawn.

I loved winning this cup...1976 final fking incredible

This season has seen a change of players running and carrying the ball in straight lines. I think Grealish is going to struggle if he continues to kill the momentum by slowing down and going backwards all the time.

Oscar Bobb was really impressive , love the balance and close control positive way of playing that he has.

But we either lose this or lose the quarter-final. Better to just get it over with.

Who says so, we could have gone all the way. It gives those on the periphery plenty of experience.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

If Pep was bothered he would have kept Alvarez on and given the Viking ten minutes in case we equalised. I thought our second string players did well first half, but the Carabao Cup is one too many, and I suspect champions league qualifiers will be allowed to drop out in years to come. Fair play to Newcastle though

 

[K-Bo]

It's for the best, with the CWC we would have ended up going out anyway

 

[bondsman]

Joelinton is one of the shittest and scummiest players in the Orem. He needs someone to give him a taste of what he dishes out. Dinho would have sorted him

 

[ardwickboy]

At least now we will have 2 free midweek rests which can benefit the team.

 

[journolud]

It wasn’t shite. We lost. Bigger fish to fry. Stop moaning.

 

[willipp]

one look at the line ups and you could see 1 goal would win the match. like last year we have bigger and better comps to focus on, even more!

One look at the first half and you could see how it would go. They didn’t touch the ball for 44 minutes and we very nearly went in 1-0 down. That felt like a game we were never really going to win.

 

[stan bowles]

We beat Newcastle 1-0 in our first home game of the season. We played well and should have won by more but no one thought it was anything other than a good win. These lot are celebrating like they've witnessed the second coming.
Sky not showing Pep's post match interview before the draw is downright disrespectful.

Joelinton is one of the shittest and scummiest players in the Orem. He needs someone to give him a taste of what he dishes out. Dingo would have sorted him

Gordans a bigger prick

He’d make a top ventriloquist

 

[Dodge]

Fair assessment. Rico still has a lot to learn and miles off holding down a place. Alvarez works like a Trojan, but needs to improve his first touch and his close control. It costs us at times when it’s turned over and we’re on the attack. Akanji isn’t a dominant centre back, needs Dias or Stones with him.
This was a predominantly 2nd string. On to Wolves!

Alvarez needs to improve his first touch LMFAO.

He took two touches for his goal against Forest that were so quick the slow-mo looked full speed.

Come on mate.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Game of two half’s…apparently

Nahh we just passed tge ball in front of them for 40 mins really

 

[lazerblue]

I remember where I was when I heard that Elvis had died.
I also remember the night when Princess 'The Queen of Hearts' died and now I will be able to tell my grand child that I can remember exactly what I was doing the night of that famous Newcastle victory of Manchester City.

haha, aparently this was an epic victory for the barcodes

 

[Brewster's millions]

I think they’re Conference by their ‘lap of honour celebration’, they‘re bringing their families out next;)

Status quo playing as well. About as small time as it gets.

 

[Goater=Legend]

After Peps pre match comments i wasn't really expecting us to win. First half we was great and should of took our chances, once the Newcastle subs came on the game changed.
