Following last night’s 3-0 win over Man Utd, club legend Alan Shearer and co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi took to Twitter as we moved into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Alan Shearer – ‘Total domination from the Toon. Magnificent from start to finish from every single player. One team playing for the badge the other team a complete mess. TOON TOON.’
Mehrdad Ghodoussi – ‘Incredible performance by the lads, so proud of the resilience and fight. We are united, we are one. Also a special thanks to the away fans, you sang your hearts out – your support means everything to the team.’
Shearer is right. Everyone played their part, with rarely-seen squad men Matt Ritchie, Emil Krafth and Paul Dummett all putting in a brilliant shift. This line summed it up best – ‘One team playing for the badge, the other team a complete mess.’
Ghodoussi’s ‘we are united’ message felt apt. Only one united looked up for the fight and a proper team last night, while he was also right to praise the 7,000+ Geordies who drowned out Old Trafford from start to finish.
So many positives, so many success stories and such a satisfying win over an abysmal Man Utd side who couldn’t cope with our energy, intensity, organisation and spirit.
Incredible performance by the lads, so proud of the resilience and fight. We are united, we are one. ????????????????@NUFC #nufc #carabaocup also a special thanks to the away fans, you sang your hearts out – your support means everything to the team. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/Igdwx6KB6f
