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

[Miercoles]

Really trying not to get excited about this. 

 

Maybe their whole squad will get food poisoning?

[James]

If we win that means that we would have beaten all of the current top 4 in the league to do it.

Hopefully we’ll go all guns blazing. Leave it all out there. We have a few weeks to recover afterwards before the next game. No excuses. Do or die!  Into these.

No "Road to the final" t-shirt is going to trump our 2022/2023 Carabao final offering.

 

TRANMERE 1-2 NEWCASTLE

NEWCASTLE 0-0 CRYSTAL PALACE (3-2 ON PENS)

NEWCASTLE 1-0 BOURNEMOUTH

NEWCASTLE 2-0 LEICESTER

SOUTHAMPTON 0-1 NEWCASTLE

NEWCASTLE 2-1 SOUTHAMPTON

 

Our CL group of death didn't have shit on that murderers row.

So what’s everyone’s 1-11? What do you think EH will go with? How game will go?

 

I’m thinking he will go same as WHU but might swap GKs weirdly. Think Barnes did enough to get nod over Willock just.

 

Personally I’d want some pace and comfort on the ball at CH but with VVD can’t really risk leaving Burn out and no natural left sided replacement.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Barnes isn’t working Isak plays slightly wider and Wilson enters the frame depending on scoreline. Willock fresh legs for Murphy and Isak swapping sides again. Can’t see Isak being subbed 1-90mins.

 

Would’ve played Tino LB if Hall was fit regardless to snuff out Salah better than previous two games and try and make it a 10v10 game. 

 

Torn on the GKs. Heart says Pope as he missed last final but the way Liverpool attack Dubs agility and footwork might make more sense.

 

Midfield picks itself but I feel to suite them we need to go front foot not back. Try and win it in 90mins as otherwise their subs will give them the edge 90-120.

 

As for Pens I’d actually back us weirdly but not sure I could watch 🫣

 

 

[Paully]

I'll be amazed if it's not same XI as West Ham - Pope is clearly his number one

 

 

[joeyt]

Hall was as fine against Salah a couple of weeks ago as anyone has been in the league

 

It will be the same XI as we saw on Monday

Still can’t believe how limp and meek we were vs them that day 

 

 

I can. Cup finals tend to make us freeze like deer in headlights. Hoping Eddie's learned from last time and will have some plan to address it.

Anyone still needing trains? Or know anyone else needing them? Mate's old man has decided against going as he didn't get a ticket and has the following journey booked. £168.99.

 

 

Willing to take £100 👍🏻

Eddie needs to revert back to a couple of seasons back, back to aggressive nasty newcastle, kick and cheat these fuckers, get in their faces, go full high press, full energy, celebrate every tackle, shout in the faces of these fuckers, laugh at them when a decision doesn't go their way, deliver a team talk with the same conviction he did when we beat Man Utd.

 

"Let's fucking give it to em"

 

Wor Eddie

For such a dangerous player, Salah doesn't seem to get really clattered very often. Maybe he's just too physically quick.

He’s also pretty strong, seen a few players try to bounce him but he’s got the upper body strength to get past them.

[Superior Acuña]

Similarly assume it’ll be the 11 v West Ham. He doesn’t chop and change based on opposition. 

[black_n_white]

Play with the same attitude Everton did against them recently and at the very least we will give them a game

[healthyaddiction]

Given Salah is presumably fasting for Ramadan, might that not affect his performance a bit?

Sure he can still neck the Salahbutemol so doubt it'll matter.

Those flags being waved at 90 mins man. I was in the stadium and it was incredible. We wanted it so so much more than them.

Nah we didn’t the flag waving was fucking pathetic they drowned us out for 90 minutes, shove the flags and sing your hearts out.

[Joelinton7]

[Oregon_Geordie]

Same team as Monday, but Little Jo in for Barnes. I think we need both him and Big Joe in the middle to cover Tino on Salah.

Keep it tight, aggressive and then get Barnes on 2nd halve.

Like that team you always need something off the bench at Wembley, Barnes and Willock will be far more effective when game starts to break down and there’s space later on.
