[League Cup Final] Newcastle United Vs. Liverpool - 16/03/25 @ 16:30 (Live on ITV & Sky)

[El Prontonise]

Wat?

[OpenC]

Nottingham Forest beat these fuckers with 30% possession, and they couldn't field Anthony Gordon either. It can be done

If we win this game (and I don't think we have a hope in hell) based on recent performances since the 9 game run), then everyone of those players need shifting along with the manager for cheating those that can and are able to turn up week in and week out to support them.

 

[Izakaya]

There won't be a single supporter sat in Wembley who truly, honestly believes we can beat these...

 

And unfortunately I reckon the team thinks this too.

So sack the manager and the players if they actually win the cup?

[STM]

Glad I'm not in the trenches with you cunts.

 

Fuck it. Take a gamble.

 

541, let's absolutely set up to shithouse these scouse fucks. So long as we have Isak up front we have a goal in us.

 

                     Dubravka

 

Trips  Schar    Burn    Botman   Tino

 

   Murphy   Bruno   Tonali  Joelinton 

 

                          Isak

 

Seige mentality. If we frustrate them for any length of time, they will doubt themselves.

 

Edit: Gamble on Botman, pump him full of drugs.

The more I look at it, the more Gordon being suspended might be a blessing.

 

He's been off form IMO and covering his fullback isn't his strength, especially when playing against Salah.

 

Id back Tino and Joelinton to snuff out Salah. I'm not saying that will be enough to win the game but it's a start.

 

Murphy + Isak as attacking outlets only need to get us 1 goal.

[Doctor Zaius]

Really cannot be arsed with this final like

Anything can happen in a one off game. 
 

I remember us facing Liverpool

at Wembley under - clears throat - Tim Sherwood in the FAC semi final. 
 

We were absolutely wretched that season, well into building the team towards a sub 20 points comedy relegation the next year. 
 

We had zero chance. But we beat them*
 

Sherwood tactically owned *checks notes* Brendan Rodgers that day. Tim Sherwood. 
 

 

 

 

*obviously the final was also a one off game in which anything can happen, but that was so bad, I stopped watching after an hour. 

[The Prophet]

Imagine the shot in the arm our season gets if we win this.

That Liverpool team were levels below this current one now though, this one is pretty much unbeatable at the moment .

They aren’t unbeatable it’s just the teams they have been playing domestically every week have been sub par this year.

Could do. Europe is guaranteed so you think it might take the pressure off a wee bit and we play with a lot less anxiety.

 

I can't wait for it, do believe in the lads

Honestly, aye.

 

We can't match for quality so we really need to go back to frustrating fuck out of them and snatching a goal or two, which with isak is always possible/likely.

 

It's one game and Liverpool are not infallible. 

 

Yes, I'm huffing nuclear amounts of copium.

Season??? Our history mate. That 1st trophy is so important. It's been far too long. We need to get the monkey off our back. When we do we'll fly, I'm sure of it.

[Sima]

Wonder what the record is for number of successive cup finals without scoring a goal, let alone winning one.

 

We're currently on five.

Alan Gowling ?

[alexf]

Always felt we needed every single one of our best 11 fully fit and playing well to have a chance here. 

We're looking at No Gordon, No Hall, possibly no Botman, a half fit Isak, half fit Joelinton and majority of our lads massively out of form. 

 

Will take some kind of miracle to pull this off and a defensive masterclass.

It's 3 isn't it?

 

Scored in the league cup final Vs City.

 

Arsenal - FA Cup

Man Utd - FA Cup

Man Utd - League Cup

They've essentially properly rested players for 2 games this season, lost both. Spurs and Forest 1-0 defeats their others which shows they can lose but how hard it's going to be.

 

Coming up against a side that's won UCL with a lot of this group, so occasion will be nothing to them (especially since they won it last season with many kids  ). We're going to need to use up our luck for rest of season to get the win, which I would take. League Cup and a limp 7th place finish I would take all day. Get this monkey off our back, blow up the squad and go fresh next season with the core hungry to win more.

[Matt1892]

The issue with Gordon being banned is he will put a shift in supporting Hall by getting back and doubling up on Salah. 
 

That is why I think we will go with Joelinton wide left with Willock in the middle.
