Newcastle Morning Round-Up, Friday 30th October 2026: Magpies Crash Out of Carabao Cup After Dismal Everton Defeat
Morning all. It's a grim one to wake up to after Newcastle's Carabao Cup dream came to a crashing halt at Goodison Park's Hill Dickinson Stadium, with James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry on target as Everton ran out 3-1 winners to book their place in the quarter-finals (Shields Gazette) (NewcastleUnited.com). The player ratings make for painful reading, with a 3/10 and a 2/10 'total mess' among the lowest marks as the Magpies were well beaten on the night (Chronicle Live) (Newcastle World).
Fans made their feelings known in no uncertain terms, with many heading for the exits before full-time and the away end largely empty by the time players went over to applaud, including a notable gesture from Sean Steur (Shields Gazette) (Chronicle Live) (Northern Echo) (Chronicle Live). Newcastle World report that supporters also reacted strongly to a Matthias Jaissle substitution decision during the game (Newcastle World).
Jaissle himself didn't hold back afterwards, launching what's been described as his angriest rant yet and calling the result 'shocking', while insisting the scoreline was harsh on his players (Chronicle Live) (Shields Gazette) (Newcastle World). Everton boss David Moyes was candid too, admitting the result was 'probably' a fair reflection of the performance (Shields Gazette). Chronicle Live's five things piece notes a couple of Everton players will have caught the eye of Newcastle's recruitment staff, for all the wrong reasons (Chronicle Live).
On the injury front, there was a fresh blow as William Osula is now set for around two months out after picking up a knock during the defeat (Chronicle Live) (Shields Gazette).
Away from the pitch, Newcastle will host the Webb Ellis Cup at a one-off charity dinner on December 3, with Rugby World Cup winner Ben Cohen attending to support rugby and health causes across the North East (Northern Echo).
