Newcastle Lunchtime Round-Up, Friday 30th October 2026: Fallout Continues After Carabao Cup Exit at Everton

Plenty to digest this lunchtime after Newcastle's Carabao Cup fourth round exit, beaten 3-1 by Everton at their new stadium on Thursday night, as per The Mag's match report from the away end (The Mag). The result means United are out of the competition, with The Mag noting there's now no last eight tie against League Two's Fleetwood Town to look forward to (The Mag).

There's needle building ahead of the reverse fixture too, with Chronicle Live reporting that Everton taunted Newcastle at full-time, said to have left Joelinton keen for revenge when Everton visit St James' Park on Monday night (Chronicle Live).

Matthias Jaissle has been having his say on the defeat. Newcastle World report he had plenty to say about the loss (Newcastle World), while Chronicle Live say he pushed back on a suggestion that his side are "too soft", despite some worrying numbers being put to him (Chronicle Live). The Mag relay his line that "this is not an excuse any more" (The Mag), and the Shields Gazette reckon his explanation was fair, with the blame lying more with the players than the manager (Shields Gazette). BBC Sport also carried fan Raul Kohli's view that Newcastle have been "consistently inconsistent" in front of goal and asking whether things can turn around (BBC Sport).

Away from the result, The Mag report that Alan Shearer has given his verdict on the ongoing talk of Eddie Howe potentially taking over at Manchester United (The Mag), while another Mag piece raises questions over Sporting Director Ross Wilson's role at the club (The Mag).
