[LCF] Newcastle United 2-1 Liverpool - NUFC LEAGUE CUP WINNERS


Recommended Posts

Watching it again in the Strawberry atm (for the 2nd time)

 

The footage of the two teams in the tunnel is VERY interesting. Liverpool players look tired, distracted and nervous. We looked game ready, focused and determined. 
 

Need to go back through the match thread to see if similar observations were made pre game

Just want to relive it all over again. I can see why it's contagious like. An entire city on cloud 9 man, incredible 

 

Not many of the "traditional winning clubs" get to experience the euphoria we did. 70 fucking years man. Pinch us!

Forgot how dicey that shoot out vs Forest actually was. When Joelinton missed and they went 3-1 up it looked over.

 

Also how important Schär was on the run. Pen against Wimbledon, goal against Brentford, created Gordon's goal against Arsenal. Impressive that we finished 13-3 in goals across the competition (9-2 against the top four) with two of those conceded being late consolations.

I need more content! 

Any podcasts worth checking out? I've already somehow managed to get through True Faith (I know, I know). 

All with smiling face have done one. The Everything is Black and White one is a fantastic mix of everything as well. "Eddie Howe and Newcastle United made me cry" on YouTube

Watched the whole game again tonight completely sober and no pressure and was honestly aghast at how good we were. We fucking dominated them and controlled them from whistle to whistle, they had and did nothing. I had an idea of how we could win that game prior to kick off but it was very much a case of grabbing something then clinging on for dear life - riding our luck and just about spawning it, that was the only way I saw us winning it. But we controlled that game from start to finish and totally snuffed them out as an attacking unit for 93 minutes. I honestly didn't know we were capable of that performance on that stage against that opposition but we completely fucking nailed it

 

Every single player did exactly what was asked of him, the tactics worked to perfection and all of their threats were basically nullified by our positioning and good play, sensible, no-nonsense, risk-free play and we squashed the best team in the league out of the game and bullied them in a Cup Final. Impressive isn't even close to what we did yesterday, it was outstanding, we were on it from the first minute til the 101st. The best footballing day of my life and it was 100% deserved, no luck involved, the best team won and it could and should have been by more. We played the cunts off the park, we're capable of anything :) 

 

Not trying to be wise after the event, but I said in a WhatsApp group chat at the beginning of the week that we should play the game like Bournemouth played us at St James', beating the press by going long over the top into the channels.

 

I was gutted that day but was really impressed by Bournemouth, and I think maybe Eddie learned something from that defeat.

Aye. All the shat we went through is actually part of why this feels how it feels. The near misses experienced or handed down, the 70years, Ashley.

Other clubs (Boro, Coventry, Luton, Wimbledon) went as long without winning anything but not with the near misses, including the league and with a history of once being successful to add to the mix

Actually mad how many pre-match 2-1 predictions I've seen. Two of them have the goalscorers as well, one of which is the Wealdstone Raider :lol:

Someone on here said we'd be 2-0 up and cruising, but Liverpool get one back with 10 minutes to go and it gets nervy but we hold on. That was pretty fucking accurate :lol:

I hope they put a bet on. :lol: I had my security bets on and not a single one won, not even the Joelinton yellow card one. :lol:

If we do ever win the league, it will have been over a century since the last time (I'm assuming it's not going to happen within the next two seasons). Imagine how ridiculous that would feel. A euphoria that fans of certain teams will never even have the possibility of experiencing.

For those that has watched it back, does those 8 fucking minutes make any more sense? Thank fuck they didn't matter in the end, but that was fucking ridiculous
