Liverpool are a strong team and its a big ask. But we've beaten better than them on our day under Eddie in recent seasons. Just hope the lads turn up, we give our all, and any luck there is goes our way.

 

Some decent analysis from Opta here. They say what you'd expect about Gordon and Hall but also mention that we're effective at breaking play up against tough opponents. My own feeling is that we must do that and can't give them an easy goal on a fastbreak or counter. Avoid that and we've got a chance. Both finals Liverpool were in last season under Klopp were extremely dull chess matches. The same players were ineffective at working the ball and creating chances on their own against Chelsea's defence.

Didn’t see it or too young to remember the ‘74 Gowling goal. So all I have is Rob Lee’s semi final goal which was a joy (albeit short lived). Although not there in person this time, a goal, particularly to put us ahead would overtake Albert’s chip, Shearer’s record, and Aprilla’s Barca demolition as my greatest Newcastle goal. 

76 😉

No nerves yet but still early in the day. Howe saying he’d rewatched the PSG home game has been a reminder that we’re capable of those special games that live long in the memory. Last time out I was nervous, but having a second final 2 years on shows the journey is heading in the right direction despite FFP/PSR, these are the good days. We’re not a flash in the pan, get to a final with no idea of when we’re getting back there. 
 

Last time out it was just as the club was standing up straight again, now we know what it’s like, we’re not tourists this time  and we know what we can do. They’re human too, they have their doubts and weaknesses and we know what we can do. I want nothing more than this group to be the ones that do it after 70 years.

They looked very leggy against PSG. Couldn’t be better set-up for our usual high intensity game. They struggled against our press in the first half of the home game this season, let’s do it again because they’ll tire quicker than many think.

Whatever will be will be lads.

They looked leggy against us to be fair, it’s just we had a Callum "I’m running in treacle today lads" Wilson up front, who couldn’t capitalise
