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


Recommended Posts

what an amazing final and feeling and to still be taking it all in days later 

 

a few random thoughts 

 

firstly what a difference a week makes in football

 

had we lost against Wham (as many expected we might) that would have left us TENTH in the table, and even less likely to beat Liverpool in the final 

 

if we'd lost both games people would be saying our season is over, Howe has to go etc 

 

now here we are a week later closing in on top 4/5 with a trophy and European qualification in the bag - and players and managers have all cemented their places as CLUB LEGENDS!

 

on the game I thought it was a tactical masterclass from Howe, brilliantly executed by the players 

 

Liverpool badly missed TAA feeding Salah and we managed so well without Gordon, Hall and Botman 

 

showed exactly why we need to keep hold of players like Barnes and Trippier, so important having quality back up players when needed 

 

I thought Joelinton was our best player but everyone else played their part - we didn't quite have our shooting boots on as could have been more, 2-1 really flattered them

 

stoppage time was relatively comfortable apart from their goal - maybe that Forest game gave us the wake-up call we needed for seeing a game out 

 

so delighted with the League Cup win and having to do it the hard way by beating all the top teams

 

also far more satisfying than just CL qualification fwiw

Not sure when I’ll be able to concentrate on anything other than this match. 
 

Just watched the goals about 6 times again. 

Just reminded me to start the viewings.

I've now watched both goals from at least 40 different angles

Isak rejects Newcastle scarf at 5:20. Worrying.

Watching Sandro from 3.20 looking at the Newcastle fans fills my heart with pride & joy, he's clearly not seen anything like it before
