EFL Cup Final Match Thread: Liverpool v Newcastle

[Crimson Dynasty]

Salah inexistent on last 4 games at least.
Jones is only a squad player. Some games hurt watching him play and this is one of those games.

He's always been just a squad player.
Not even an impact sub to change things when brought on.

Him and Elliot both.
Elliot showed promise until his ACL injury, and then as always happens with that kind of injury, came back a shadow of that former promising young player and has never been the same.

I'm honestly more expecting a third Newcastle goal here than I am any sort of comeback from us.

We could bottle the league yet. We have been rubbish for the past month.

Really? How about somebody else taking the reigns for once.

That would be great, for sure.

But I'm just pointing out that in this game (and in the two PSG games,.....let's be honest), he's been invisible and nowhere to be seen when the team has needed him.

If you're going to take the plaudits when you're on a tear, then you should be big enough to accept the criticism when called out when you're shite.

Only we can make it so easy for the opposition. Game won by 52 mins, no extra time or penalties. We go from 4 to 1 trophies, yet again.
Howe to get a statue & keys to the city.

And a pub ball from Quansah there - sums us up here today

Newcastle players wanted it more. No doubt about that

[trueandred]

The manager has to take a lot of the blame.

[justme]

absolutely pathetic performance

We could bottle the league yet. We have been rubbish for the past month.

I'm starting to strongly believe this is more than just a real possibility.


The psychological impact that losing this game and getting knocked out of the Champions League in quick succession might have, could be a domino effect in the league.

The chance to come back was Jones’ thrn the one that bounced off Nunez
