Newcastle fans vent frustration as Everton end Carabao Cup dream
Newcastle United's Carabao Cup run came to a painful end at Goodison Park, and it wasn't just the scoreline that had supporters fuming on Thursday night.
The Shields Gazette reports that goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry saw Everton run out 3-1 winners to book their place in the quarter-finals, ending Newcastle's involvement in the competition (Shields Gazette). It was a result that clearly stung those who made the trip, with the mood turning sour well before the final whistle.
Chronicle Live focuses on the reaction at full-time, reporting that Newcastle fans could not face their own players after what they felt was a game thrown away against the Toffees (Chronicle Live). That outlet also points to a Sean Steur gesture that it says spoke volumes about how the squad and supporters were feeling in the aftermath.
Newcastle World backs this up, reporting that supporters made their feelings towards head coach Matthias Jaissle heard both during and after the 3-1 defeat (Newcastle World). All three outlets agree that this wasn't simply about losing a cup tie - it was about how the game unfolded and the manner of the capitulation that left fans so frustrated, with Jaissle himself seemingly a focal point of that discontent according to Newcastle World (Newcastle World) and the Shields Gazette (Shields Gazette).
Between them, the reports paint a picture of a difficult night on Merseyside, with Garner, Hackney and Barry doing the damage for the hosts as Everton progressed in the Carabao Cup (Shields Gazette), while the Newcastle end was left to stew on a result and performance that clearly did not sit well with those who travelled (Chronicle Live) (Newcastle World).
It's a result Newcastle fans will want to put behind them quickly, and they won't have to wait long for the chance to respond - Everton make the trip to St James' Park in the Premier League on Monday 2 November, giving Newcastle a quick opportunity to put things right against the same opponents.
