I just feel like the Toon Army will take this cup more seriously than City who will have their eyes on other prizes.
What happened last night in St. James' Park is right that Manchester City is not serious about this trophy from the line-up that Pep Guardiola fielded. Man City's game does not show they are not serious about this cup.
I think Howe will make less changes than Guardiola and with a passionate home crowd behind Howes men, that could be the difference.
Newcastle did not stop attacking and creating opportunities. Second half, Eddie Howe added another level of attack to get the win by bringing on Guimaraes and Gordon. Still dissatisfied, Almiron was also included by him.
Joelinton's bravery in dribbling the ball from outside into the Man City penalty box led to Isak's goal coming from behind without a Man City defender marking him, making the Magpies fans cheer.
This season, Newcastle failed Manchester City in the EFL Cup.
