[Football] Carabao Cup quarter-finals

[Springal]

Agree totally with the sentiment - but we won the League Two title as well.

Yep good point - but I wasn’t really watching games regularly then

I still can't work out HOW we lost to Charlton...

Semi finals of the league cup? Would have gotten away with it too if it was that meddling Potter.

 

[Coxovi]

Great shot.

Is that shit keeping and defending?

Both, and my thoughts exactly, what is the keeper doing out there?

I can’t stand Man U or Newcastle but now want one of them to win the thing. The problem with one of the others winning is that will mean one fewer place in Europe through the league.

Can't bear the thought of Newcastle winning or even getting to the final. Can you imagine His Smugness?

And the miracle will be reported as such in the media.

A new goalie
A whole new defence.
Brazil centre mid
About 100 million on strikers adding to 20 million Wilson.

But it will be a miracle because he is making a players who were each club record signings when signed for 20 million (almiron) and 40 million (joelinton) look like footballers. It’s a miracle I tell you. Either than or it shows how bad Steve Bruce was!

So spending over 200 million in addition to getting a 20 million and 40 million pound player look okay and winning the ressie cup is genius.

Dean Henderson is an insufferable tw@t, isn't he?

Highly amusing that he can't play in the semi (against his parent club).

Dean Henderson ineligible for the semi finals Steve Cooper forgot

Wayne Hennessy in goal then

Weirdly I’m still not over it. I think this is possibly the biggest missed opportunity since we failed to win the Championship title (and that still grates too!), made even worse with City going out tonight.
I know we would have had to get past ManU but I’d have fancied us last night.
I was at the Valley and I still maintain the dry, bobbly pitch didn’t help us, it meant our players who want to run with the ball couldn’t and was a bit of a leveller, it doesn’t excuse we were very poor in the final third, particularly Undav and Trossard, had RDZ started Ferguson then who knows but that’s hindsight.

Its this. Part of Newcastle's improvement is not down to Eddie Howe, its to do with sacking Steve Bruce. He had them playing so badly that just removing him from the equation created an improvement. Go back to Bruce's last few months in charge and there were lots of stories coming out about how poor Newcastle's training sessions were, with very little focus on tactics or homework on opposition.

I thought this on the night. We didnt play well but that pitch took away all ability to dribble with the ball and complete crisp quick passes. Its caused so much sloppy play from both sides, and reduced it to a very low level of football. Very much a leveller.
