I think that our empty seats this last couple of games are the result of multiple factors, a lack of connection between fans and the coach and players, the sh*t football Maresca serves, the disdain of the board towards match going supporters, and less tourists during this period of the year. Very different from City and the Etihad.

Also a lot of clubs are now looking at reducing how many Season Tickets they sell because they know they can make a lot more money if they sell tickets game by game, they tried it at Liverpool for next season but there were a lot of protests about it

Listening to the LC final on 5Live and the absolute cacophony of booing from the scousers through the whole national anthem and the commentators didn’t say a word. They’re so bent it’s unreal.

I so wish the barcodes could win this, but there’s no way.

Outrageous bias from the Sky/ITV coverage - van Dijk clearly said the word 'f**king' on air and we didn't get a playful 'apologies if you heard any bad language' from the commentators.

Ah never mind, they got there eventually.

What a header.

Great header. Got a lot of power on that.

Tommy T saw this coming - he's going to do that again in the World Cup Final.

Big man Dan Burn! Most enjoyable moment of football all day so far!

Please barcodes, don’t f**k this up and let us enjoy the dirty scousers tears!

Liverpool getting a VAR decision in another League Cup final. What a joke.

2-0 get in

Goal, 2-0 Newcastle!

Get in!!

Liverpool getting a questionable offside call go their way in a League Cup Final is basically a national institution at this point.

Well-deserved lead for Newcastle. Hope they can hold onto this. Saying that, Jackson could have scored that goal any day of the week.

Hang on, Newcastle!

Isak so nearly with the offside just before - no doubt about the second go! Can’t help enjoy seeing it!

All credit to the newcastle fans, what an atmosphere.

you fear the 2nd maybe came too early… hope not.

Proper save that from Pope - could be v important.

Judging from the pundits all you can hear is the Liverscum supporters.

Yes, we all believe the Newcastle supporters are silent, dreading they might win a trophy after a gazillion years.

Liverpool getting battered and Arne Slot making even more attacking changes. I wouldn’t even mind losing if the team went for it like this. I’m jealous of Liverpool having Slot while we chose Maresca.

Imagine if Chelsea had Isak and Wilson. Our player recruitment is so bad

Overlapping full backs in this game, god I miss them

Not to discredit Slot (although he so resembles a project manager I can't imagine I'll ever truly like him), and certainly not to defend Maresca, but it helps that all of his team's players are better than all of ours. We have something like four attacking players fit and three of them are either out of form or useless. f**k, it's even getting to the point that I wish Mudryk was back!

Slot has had all of Salah, Jota, Díaz, Núñez, Chiesa and Gakpo on the pitch today. Dog sh*t squad planning and dog sh*t recruitment has ruined us.

8 minutes added time ?

Hmmm ...
