Carabao Cup final: ‘Newcastle win against Liverpool would change everything’ – Alan Shearer
I talked to the players two years ago before their Wembley trip, but that didn’t work, so I won’t give any advice this time.
It’s not just about winning — you need a little luck in the finals, so hopefully Luck Luck shines in Newcastle.
I really believe that you can win or lose the game before you even go out.
While Newcastle is trying to make things as normal as possible this week, that’s not the case in 2023 – maybe because of the pressure, or because people like me are talking about 70 years without home trophys.
It’s really hard to get rid of it, but maybe it’s the right choice to normalize things.
That said, Sunday’s victory will change everything in Newcastle. Eddie Howe can choose the statue he wants.
Over the years, there have been many great managers trying to win trophys at clubs, rather than managing them.
I’m still talking to Bob Moncur, the last captain to lift the trophy in 1969, ending the long wait would be so special.
No one can take it away from this group of players and coaching staff.
When the whistle goes, I want to see passion and fight. Over the years, I want to see all the characteristics of Eddie and Newcastle that put them in trouble.
Give it the best lad – and bring it back to Newcastle.
