Analysis: Newcastle mean business in this season’s Carabao Cup
By Mark Douglas, i‘s northern football correspondent
If the Carabao Cup felt like a comedown after Sunday’s World Cup final for the ages, no one told Eddie Howe or Newcastle United.
A full-strength side on Tuesday night that included five of his World Cup warriors was a vivid illustration of just how important this competition remains to Howe. And in that, he captures the mood pretty succinctly on Tyneside.
Newcastle have gone 67 years without lifting a domestic trophy and their passage into the last eight of the competition will inevitably get supporters dreaming. They are still four games from glory but with this remodelled team and new ownership there is belief that something special can be achieved in short order.
They will have to improve on a hard-fought victory over Bournemouth, but the sense of slowly cranking the whirring engine of intensity that had secured six straight wins before the mid-season break might be foreboding for the rest of the teams left in the competition. They will get better and the general standard of football surely will too.
