Newcastle United fans fall for media spin after Carabao Cup final defeat nufc
The Newcastle United fans and players gave their best and it just didn’t fall our way.
Start from the final scoreline and then go backwards, building their report of what happened during the game, from the often distorted perspective of who the victors were and the end result. In the first half ASM had his effort saved and Burn missed a sitter, they scored a good goal and a lucky goal.They packed their defence and wasted time second half, then had space to hit us on the break .
I think ASM was arguably the best player on the pitch in the opening half and looked the most dangerous. It was outrageous skill when he sprinted past a stationary Dalot in the box at 0-0, only to find David De Gea did everything right to stop the opening goal. Only seconds later Rashford won the soft free-kick that Man U ended up scoring the opener from, such small margins. Six minutes later and whilst the NUFC defending could and should have been better, BUT outrageous luck for Man U.
I have little doubt that many of these same over the top critics, are the same ones who were hailing Miggy as the new Lionel Messi, when the Paraguayan was on his goal rush. The same with Kieran Trippier. If the positions had been reversed and Newcastle United leading at half-time and Man U chasing the game in the second-half, then ASM would have had all the space in the world to work and run into, as Man U left gaps chasing the game, same on the other side where Almiron and Trippier could have worked their double act which has been the most productive source for NUFC chances and goals this season.
