EFL Cup Final 2025 | Newcastle 2-1 Liverpool FT

They’ve had Dan Burn at the back of the box every time and Van Dijk and Konate in the middle marking thin air
 
Arrogant from Liverpool to not change their marking from these corners... should have put one of the CB's on Dan Burn after the first couple.
 
I will take relegation if it means Liverpool lose every remaining game of the season.
 
Since they're gonna win the league... them being out of the CL, losing in the FA vs Plymouth and hopefully now losing this one would be so nice
 
It's not fair making Liverpool play against the big boys really.
When Big Dan Burn is scoring in cup finals. I don’t want to hear one word from Gen Z fans saying the football is better now . Once watched Dan James take him apart at Old Trafford he needed an oxygen tank
To be fair at Burn's height the air is quite a bit thinner.
 
Newcastle deserve that. We never play well in cup finals. Literally never.

Problem we’ve had in this and the PSG game is that players like Jota and Diaz aren’t picking up the slack when Salah has a poor game. Mane was always good in these kind of occasions.

Newcastle haven’t beaten us since 2015 either.

I do expect a better second half from us. Not the first time we’ve gone in behind at half time.
 
Not watching the game, but the half time stats say that Liverpool only had one shot off target. Have they been that bad?
 
That being said, I haven’t found myself super up for this. We’ve won it in two of the last three seasons and it didn’t exactly propel us in the home stretch. We fell off a cliff after winning it last season.

Maybe it’s because we’re playing Newcastle. I’ve always hated losing to Chelsea but don’t have the same emotional hatred of Newcastle.
 
I don't know how Dan Burn has generated so much power and accuracy on a header from almost the edge of the box. Definitely beyond the penalty spot. Incredible goal - what a week for him so far.
 
Arsenal may be sitting up and taking notice of these recent performances. Their title hopes hang by a thread, but it could all still unravel for Liverpool. Would be glorious.
 
Really annoying that the commentators can hear VAR audio while the fans can't, and then proceed to talk about it like we can hear it.

Trippier is lucky there. Intentional or not, he takes it away from Diaz.

Yeah, they really need to change that. The fans have to be as aware as the commentators of the VAR dialogue. It’s ridiculous in 2025 we are kept in the dark. It feels we even get less replays now whilst VAR has a think about things for some bizarre reason.
