00:00Two years ago, Newcastle had to fill their third-choice goalkeeper in the final.
00:17Martin Dubravka was ineligible and Nick Pope suspended.
00:24Today, it's Pope who has got the nod over Dubravka.
00:30One club used to success in the modern game, the other desperately yearning for it.
00:48Newcastle have got everything else, tradition, identity, pride.
00:52They just won a trophy, the trophy that right now belongs to Liverpool.
00:56Rob Green alongside me has played here both in major finals and indeed in England internationals.
01:05It is special.
01:06It's a special occasion and it can lift you or it can crush you.
01:10Everything is perfect.
01:12The stadium, the setting, the pitch, the changing rooms, it is all laid out for a spectacle, a performance.
01:19And it's whether that weight of expectation on performances grows you or makes you shrink.
01:27For me, I felt the biggest I could be on this pitch right now and everybody on that pitch will feel the same.
01:35Rob was the player of the match in one of those finals.
01:38The first major prize of the English football season is heading north of here either to Liverpool or Newcastle.
01:50We've all had the history lesson now.
01:52Newcastle United trying to win a major trophy for the first time since 1969.
01:58I mean, Liverpool bidding to win a major for the 40th time since 1969.
02:06And Rob, when you put it like that...
02:09It's a big ask for Newcastle.
02:11One of expectation and one against hope.
02:13But for Newcastle, looking at the disappointment that Liverpool had in the week.
02:19Can we take the momentum from our one win against West Ham and use that?
02:25They're going as strong as they can really be.
02:27Newcastle setting up in pretty much a 4-4-2.
02:30Off the ball now.
02:31Harvey Barnes on the left-hand side.
02:33Isak up front with him.
02:35From there, you're looking at Harvey Barnes against Jurel Kwan.
02:37So that will be one of the key match-ups in one of the weaknesses of Liverpool's team.
02:42If there are any.
02:44But Liverpool, as you were, as pretty much as they could strong, as strong as they could be.
02:49Mo Salah on that right-hand side against Liveromento.
02:52A right-back player at left-back.
02:54One of their opportunities down the right-hand side.
02:58And just to complete the stat attack on Newcastle.
03:01They have not won any of their last 17 games against Liverpool.
03:08They lost 2-0 at Liverpool just three weeks ago.
03:13Kieran Trippier with the free kick high towards the head of Joel Linton.
03:19Tohamley trying to keep the attack alive.
03:22Bosle trying to break it up.
03:23Jacob Murphy, born in Wembley.
03:31Born to a Gateshead family.
03:35Gateshead on the doorstep of Newcastle upon Tyne.
03:40So, this has always been his favourite club.
03:43But he was born a long goal kick from here.
03:46Just looking at John Winton in midfield getting up very high for Newcastle.
03:56Jacob Murphy stealing a march and trying to feed him.
04:00Van Dijk did very well with the header.
04:03Callister completed the clearance and Sir Bosle can now try to counter.
04:07Here is Jarell Kwanza filling in at right-back really for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
04:16But he played the last 50 minutes there against PSG on Tuesday.
04:24Luis Diaz held up well by the Newcastle right-back.
04:27Kieran Trippier.
04:30And Kwanza actually played at right-back at Newcastle in the English Premier League back in December against Anthony Gordon.
04:39And he played the last 15 minutes of that league game three weeks ago at right-back against Harvey Barnes.
04:46And that's the match-up on that far side today.
04:48Yeah, and it'd be interesting. I'll be interested to see what Kwanza does.
04:51Because you're looking at him and he's very much a centre-back one filling in a role there.
04:55And you just say, well, perhaps today the size of the pitch of Wembley.
04:59Give Mo Salah that space.
05:01If it's Trent Alexander-Arnold who said get involved, use your qualities for him.
05:05Allow Mo Salah to do your thing.
05:07I think for Newcastle they want to keep it as tight as possible.
05:10They don't want to be broken on.
05:12For them, getting up in support.
05:14Murphy, though, in towards Barnes.
05:15Who managed to reach it ahead of Kwanza.
05:18But at a stretch.
05:20Couldn't correct it.
05:21Goal Woods.
05:23Looking at that midfield.
05:24Players who can get in.
05:25Tonali's one.
05:27Murphy Barnes is obviously already up there.
05:29The engine that they have in midfield is a real weapon for them for Newcastle.
05:35It does leave them vulnerable at the back.
05:37When they go, they all decide to go.
05:39They'll chop and change.
05:40Joel Linton's now sitting in.
05:41They've got to get that communication spot on as to who's sitting.
05:47Liverpool are the cup holders.
05:48They've won this competition twice in the last three years.
05:51Ten times in all.
05:53Two more than any other club.
05:55Those last two successes have come courtesy of just one goal.
06:00Virgil van Dijk's late extra time winner against Chelsea last year.
06:03Just four goals in the last four finals.
06:07Four goals in seven hours of football.
06:10Not much of a salesman, am I?
06:15It's been a bright start.
06:17Tino Livramento carrying the fight from left back and being tripped by Alexis McAllister.
06:22The man in the middle is John Brooks.
06:28Started on the front foot, Newcastle.
06:30Really gone at Liverpool.
06:32Gone with long balls and driving runs like that.
06:35They committed bodies forward and you're thinking,
06:37a couple of weeks ago they played each other in the Premier League
06:39and didn't really lay a glove in the whole 90 minutes.
06:41It feels like it's a very different attitude.
06:45One of really taking the game by the scruff of the neck.
06:50There's a silver trophy gleaming in the North London sunshine to be won.
06:56So a different emphasis, different scenario to this game.
07:03Taken short to Barnes.
07:05Tonali.
07:06Barnes.
07:07Liverpool undone.
07:08Barnes' cross was dangerous but smuggled away.
07:12But Liverpool were caught unawares.
07:14It was smart that from Newcastle.
07:16Yeah, really good movement in the box.
07:17And that took everyone's attention away from the short free kick.
07:21And they say, if you're going to do a free kick, a clever one.
07:24Do it, make it the first one.
07:25Because everyone remembers it.
07:26Everyone's on point.
07:28They certainly were there for Newcastle.
07:29Really bright start.
07:30Here in Trippier will take.
07:37The tallest man in the penalty area running towards the near post.
07:43Kelleher managed to get a fist on the ball.
07:46And McAllister a boot on the ball.
07:48Head-rissed by Soboslav.
07:49This is Luis Diaz.
07:51Early towards Mohamed Salah.
07:53But Nick Pope is in control of the situation.
08:01Andy Robertson.
08:04He's looking to run Tonali.
08:05Who doesn't want to run with him.
08:07Trippier came across.
08:08And in the collision.
08:09Liverpool win a free kick.
08:14Trippier's pleading his innocence.
08:15I think he's saying it wasn't me.
08:17And it wasn't him.
08:18It was Tonali.
08:19He's Usain Clive chasing back.
08:22Pulling the shoulder.
08:24And a little push there.
08:25Into Trippier.
08:26I think that's why John Brooks has given it.
08:27Rather than the tackle from Trippier.
08:32Newcastle lost the 20-23 final here.
08:34They were a match for Manchester United for much of that game.
08:37Conceded a couple of goals in six minutes.
08:39Midway through the first half.
08:42Just couldn't quite find a response.
08:45First goal that day was a header to a free kick.
08:49Second took a huge deflection.
08:51They don't want to come away from here.
08:52With yet another hard luck story.
08:57What have Liverpool got up their sleeves from this free kick?
09:00It's McAllister.
09:02And that needs a little bit more work, that one.
09:07And it's been a feel around the city.
09:08Talking about two years ago, as you say, Clive.
09:09It was one of just real celebration that we're in a final.
09:10Now, yes, they haven't won for a long time.
09:11But they're here for business.
09:12They want to do the business.
09:13Here's the man who wants to lift the trophy.
09:14Bruno Kimmerich, the captain.
09:15Joe Linton.
09:16Way by Van Dijk.
09:17Luis Diaz.
09:18Callister.
09:19Raven Beck.
09:20It's early for Salah.
09:21It's early for Salah.
09:22It's early for Salah.
09:23It's only from Leicester to try.
09:25And he's also in the final.
09:26You know, you know.
09:27It's been a feel around the city.
09:29You know, it's been a feel around the city.
09:30Talking about two years ago as you say Clive,
09:32it was one of just real celebration that we're in a final.
09:34Here's the man who wants to lift the trophy, Bruno Kimarais the captain, Joe Linton, away by Van Dijk, Luis Diaz.
09:44Callister, Ravan Beck, it's early for Salah, it's asked an awful lot of Mohamed Salah, a little bit too much.
09:57Just wondering whether Liverpool have just get the foot on the ball for the first time in the game.
10:01And we're nearly ten minutes in, get a few touches in midfield, that's where they've had the strength.
10:07But no, Gravenberg goes for the ball.
10:11Salah missed last year's final through injury.
10:16He went off injured in an FA Cup final here three years ago with barely half an hour play.
10:22It hasn't really happened for him in his English career here at Wembley Stadium.
10:28Just a one goal, and that was in an English Premier League game played here when Tottenham Hotspur were briefly resident.
10:37And in a 4-1 defeat, Mohamed Salah looking for some happy Wembley memories.
10:43The tears at the end of Tuesday's game were maybe a little ominous.
10:52Remember, Van Dijk here, Salah, and Alexander-Arnold are still to commit their futures to Liverpool.
10:58Canate.
11:06Swept forward towards Salah.
11:12Marshall by Byrne, at the expense of a goal kick.
11:16That's where Salah wants to be.
11:19He's almost playing as a forward, but just on his own wide right.
11:23Now, the agonising aspect of that 17-game run without a win over Liverpool is that McCassell have actually held the lead
11:52in six of the last 12 of those matches.
11:57They led Liverpool twice at Newcastle in December, but couldn't beat them.
12:00It has been a bit of a sticking point.
12:03But they would love to strike first here this afternoon.
12:07Very high Liverpool line for the free kick.
12:10It's left some space here for Scher.
12:12It was Fabian Scher who scored a last-minute equaliser in the last meeting up on Tyneside.
12:22Wonderful 3-3 draw.
12:23McAllister is the man down and looking rather bemused.
12:27There's Dan Byrne in the middle of the pitch who's just blocked him off.
12:30There's not a lot in it, but from experience, you don't want to be bumping into Dan Byrne.
12:38Pick on somebody your own size.
12:415'8", plays 6'7", not far off him, but he's still managed to get the better of me.
12:47Grab them back.
12:59Schotter hasn't been able to get into the game as yet.
13:03It's been the story of the last few weeks, really, for Diogo Schotter.
13:08Starting Munoz, even after that penalty miss.
13:15Week, and you're just feeling against the likes of Dan Byrne.
13:19There's a battle up there for him.
13:21Schotter's not that type of player.
13:23You might expect him to drift around.
13:27Schotter was looking for a free kick there, but nothing's happening.
13:32I think when he drops off and creates the space for other players,
13:35for Somersla to run on beyond, that's when he's at his best.
13:37But the confidence of just holding the ball up seems to be short of him.
13:58This is Liverpool's 47th game of the season.
14:01That's already nine more than Newcastle.
14:04They've played five more than Newcastle since the turn of the year.
14:07Extra time and penalties at the end of their most intense game of the season on Tuesday,
14:12plus the draining disappointment of defeat.
14:18The longer this goes, maybe the more that Newcastle will believe.
14:24There is a question mark as to how much there is left in the Liverpool tank.
14:28Yeah, absolutely.
14:29We saw in the week, didn't we?
14:31I was looking at the penalty takers by the end.
14:34They were nowhere near their first choice,
14:36but the players who you wanted on the pitch had long gone because they were so tired.
14:40It's threaded through and Barnes was free if Van Dijk had not intervened.
14:48Murphy.
14:56Tonali.
15:00Physically held by Saboslao.
15:03The referee not interested.
15:04Yeah, it's a foul.
15:05Thought he was playing advantage there, but Tonali did really well with the run and the turn.
15:10Here's Diaz.
15:19He's taken up a good position here.
15:22And has Concer running beyond him.
15:24Now Salah.
15:25Isolated with Livermento momentarily.
15:29Reflection is kind.
15:31Kim Rice's touch is heavy.
15:32Won by Gravenberg.
15:33There's an offside flag against Schotter who came from deep to try to intervene.
15:43They're doing well at the Newcastle back line.
15:46They have a real tendency to, when they are broken in midfield,
15:51they all drop back en masse and just keep on dropping.
15:54And end up being very passive.
15:56So far, they've stepped in at the right times.
16:00Blocked off Mo Salah at the right times.
16:02And Lewis Diaz at times on the wings.
16:18Joel Linton.
16:20Just come back into the team after injury the last couple of games.
16:23It's a very competitive beast in the midfield.
16:33And Concer's challenge was hefty.
16:35But this is Murphy.
16:37And it's a little wild.
16:38He's got history of scoring.
16:48A scream up.
16:50This is Gerald Concer.
16:52And Chris Sacco.
16:54Sturdy, robust, if nothing else.
16:56He's been there.
17:06Both of those players have been named in the first England international squad.
17:11For the new coach, who's Thomas Tuchel.
17:14The squad was named on Friday.
17:16And Dan Byrne, who headed the ball,
17:18is called into that squad.
17:20His first international involvement.
17:21Just a couple of months short of his 33rd birthday.
17:27Murphy Wayward.
17:28McAllister to Gravenberg.
17:30Concer is on the way.
17:31This is more of the rhythm
17:45he was expecting Liverpool to take.
17:48See how many players they've got sat
17:49around and behind the ball.
17:51It is pretty much the back four
17:53just holding the line and saying
17:55we're going to stay behind the ball.
17:57Really drifting too far forwards.
17:59Because of the energies exerted in midweek
18:11it's maybe in their interest
18:12just to try to control the game
18:14a little bit more.
18:16Absolutely.
18:17Having the ball for three, four minutes
18:19and just shifting it around.
18:22Have to blow a game away,
18:23blow a team away in the first
18:25half of the final.
18:26It's a long drawn out affair
18:28no matter if it is,
18:29only 90 minutes.
18:38Van Dijk.
18:42Luis Diaz.
18:43McAllister.
18:52It's been a very studied build-up
18:54but broken up
18:55in no-nonsense fashion
18:57by Joe Linton.
19:00McAllister did just catch him there.
19:04It's unfortunate for Newcastle.
19:06It's a strong tackle from Joe Linton.
19:08He did really well.
19:09Actually,
19:10Harvey Barnes was away
19:11on the left-hand side.
19:13Joe Linton wasn't staying with him.
19:15It's just that intervention
19:16that stopped it
19:19because Newcastle could have been away.
19:24Strangely,
19:24of those record ten
19:26Liverpool League Cup triumphs,
19:27only two
19:29have been won
19:30in 90 minutes.
19:32And he needed extra time
19:33last year,
19:34extra time and penalties
19:35three years ago.
19:37Don't make too many plans
19:38for later.
19:40Joe Linton.
19:42Le Bremento.
19:44To Lali.
19:47Joe Linton.
19:50Safely pouched
19:51by Quibin Callaghan.
19:55Gets shot up on his way.
19:56Come back.
20:09Manning.
20:09really looks as if
20:20Liverpool are in 10
20:20don't try to draw
20:21the Newcastle sting
20:22here
20:22draw the sting
20:24and draw Newcastle
20:25out of it
20:26the back line is
20:27holding a high line
20:28for Newcastle
20:29but it's not
20:30committing
20:30Scher now
20:31step into midfield
20:33on the left hand
20:34side of your screen
20:34it leaves a huge
20:35hole at the back
20:36one against one
20:37here Trippier and
20:38Luis Diaz
20:39that the Newcastle
20:40right back in charge
20:41of the situation
20:42and that's the whole
20:43Liverpool want to hit
20:44that's the one
20:45they're waiting for
20:45it's either Dan
20:46Burn or Scher
20:46steps out
20:48into midfield
20:49they're attracted
20:50to the man
20:50they can't help it
20:51Scher trying to get
20:53Isak in behind
20:55Van Dijk
20:56in control
20:57of the situation
20:58Robertson
21:02he's only got
21:06one gear
21:06Luis Diaz
21:08and I'll take to
21:25Sal
21:25Sabozlai's broken
21:26beyond here
21:27Dominic Sabozlai early in
21:30towards Schotter
21:30who didn't really read
21:31that
21:32just on his heels
21:34wasn't he
21:34Dan Byrne had gone all
21:36the way over
21:36so the space was there
21:37at the near post
21:38he was screaming out
21:39and he ran into
21:40Schotter
21:42just sleeping a little
21:44played 75 minutes
21:46against PSG on Chusey
21:47hasn't played 90
21:48for five weeks
21:50Diego Schotter
21:51has been subbed
21:52in his last
21:52five starts
21:53and I think that's
21:56more a reflection of
21:57his general fitness
21:59levels than
21:59certainly his ability
22:01levels
22:01Gimerajus
22:04trying to protect that
22:07well from Gravenberg
22:09and wins a pretty cheap
22:10corner kick
22:10for Newcastle
22:11it's about
22:15Newcastle
22:15they've got so many
22:17players in that area
22:18who can go
22:19from midfield
22:20and just spring forward
22:21Gimerajus
22:22has got the vision
22:23he's got the ability
22:24to find them runners
22:25it's got a little bit
22:29more freedom now
22:29that Tonali's playing
22:31in a more central role
22:32for Newcastle
22:33it was a bit of a
22:34challenge for
22:34Eddie Howe
22:36to find the right
22:36balance
22:37with those two
22:38midfield talents
22:39for the first part
22:41of their careers
22:42at the club
22:44Isak offering himself
22:54short
22:54it was a foul
22:57and Schoffer
22:58he knew that
22:58he'd actually sold
22:59Murphy short
23:00and that he had to
23:01intervene
23:01and that didn't
23:03work out at all
23:04a lot of
23:06short corners
23:07and case in point
23:09there
23:09may not be familiar
23:14with Anthony

23:45I'm not sure
23:45they're not big
23:47anywhere actually
23:47they're both
23:48about 5'6
23:49they're not the
23:49Clive and Rob
23:50show that's
23:50for sure
23:50they're friends
23:51of mine
23:51I can say
23:52shot up
23:59this wouldn't fall
24:00for him
24:01Byrne got his
24:01head to the ball
24:02and Trippier
24:02neat and tidy
24:04castles form this
24:17season has been
24:18a bit like the
24:20I-95
24:21stop start
24:22they get a little
24:23road in front of
24:24them
24:24and then
24:24they seem to
24:26hit the brakes
24:26they've lost
24:27five times in the
24:28last couple of
24:29months
24:3010 all season
24:31but they won
24:31nine in a row
24:32either side of
24:33Christmas
24:33Eddie Howe's
24:35never quite sure
24:35what he's going
24:36to get from
24:36them
24:37Concer stepping
24:40into space
24:40ball run
24:44with a rather
24:45timid pass at
24:46the end of it
24:47and I want his
24:54head as a little
24:54loose
24:55Isak back to
24:56Barnes
24:56Harvey Barnes
24:58and Alexander
24:59Isak
25:00just driven a
25:01little wider
25:01than he wanted
25:02to be
25:02but he's found
25:04a way out
25:04to Tonali
25:05Sandro Tonali
25:07it was a
25:09flashing shot
25:09which Keller
25:10had covered
25:10the manager
25:13applauds
25:14it's a good
25:16strike but
25:16number one
25:18and this was
25:18the opportunity
25:19is just a little
25:19bit too strong
25:20for Isak
25:21Isak's confident
25:22enough to go
25:22with both feet
25:23even from that
25:24tighter angle
25:24from there
25:25he thought
25:26Liverpool had
25:26got it covered
25:27in numbers
25:27never danger
25:29in the goal
25:29but a break
25:32for Newcastle
25:32that shows
25:33the threat
25:34that they have
25:35got
25:35the pace
25:35that they
25:36have got
25:36and then
25:38Dan Byrne
25:39is coming out
25:39to take
25:40charge
25:41of the situation
25:42when the ball
25:43is played
25:43up to
25:44Salah
25:44it's very
25:45aggressive
25:46Dan Byrne
25:47off the ball
25:48he's very
25:48much front foot
25:50it's that ball
25:51back and then
25:52behind him
25:52is what
25:53Liverpool
25:54want
25:54he played
25:55that lift
25:55back in the
25:56final here
25:56two years
25:57ago
25:57can't have
25:59a six feet
26:00seven inch
26:00lift
26:01back
26:01I'm sorry
26:01ended by
26:04Cher is a
26:04good one
26:05and that's
26:05indeed
26:05is
26:06Trippius
26:06Kimmerich
26:14Murphy looks
26:17over his
26:17shoulders
26:18no flag
26:18here
26:19Jacob Murphy
26:20Canati
26:21had to
26:22deal with
26:22that
26:22because
26:23Alexander
26:24Isak
26:24was next
26:24in the
26:25line
26:25for the
26:26cross
26:27again
26:29a threat
26:31oh the world
26:32looked offside
26:33again
26:37that front
26:38three
26:38from Newcastle
26:40certainly
26:41can worry
26:42Liverpool
26:42that it's
26:43just getting
26:43all three
26:44together
26:44close enough
26:46proximity
26:46to really
26:47threaten
26:47two moments
26:50before
26:50with Isak
26:51and Barnes
26:51Murphy
26:53on his
26:53own
26:53Kieran Tripp

27:03the quarter
27:03from Newcastle
27:04towards the
27:06head of
27:07Dan Byrne
27:07here's an
27:08opportunity
27:08for Kimmerich
27:09and a
27:10very courageous
27:10save
27:11and a
27:11very effective
27:12one from
27:12Cleveland
27:13Kelleher

28:00in possession
28:01he's
28:18trying to play this
28:18final on their
28:19terms
28:20their pace

28:27mistake here
28:28canate has to
28:29recover
28:30and does
28:30house
28:36running down a
28:36blind alley
28:37that's what
28:40Newcastle
28:42waiting for
28:42does he get
28:44the threat of
28:45Mo Salah
28:46limiting him
28:48by staying
28:49narrow
28:49staying deep
28:50because they know
28:51they've got that
28:52threat to go
28:52again
28:53to go from
28:54deep
28:54Newcastle
28:54they can do
28:55that
28:55they can hurt
28:56Liverpool
28:56Salah has
28:58tortured Newcastle
28:59down the years
29:0110 goals in 14
29:02starts against
29:03them
29:03it's a one
29:16club city
29:16proud city
29:17everybody on
29:20Tyneside
29:21is a Newcastle
29:22United fan
29:23Diaz outnumbered
29:28but wins a
29:29free kick
29:29it's twice as
29:33appealed now
29:33that he's been
29:34innocent
29:34first time I
29:35thought he had
29:35a case that
29:36one
29:36no such
29:37case
29:37it's been on
29:39the fringes
29:40really for
29:40Newcastle this
29:41season
29:41Kieran Trippier
29:42but he's got a
29:43heavyweight CV
29:44played against
29:45Liverpool in a
29:46Champions League
29:47final six years
29:48ago
29:48played more than
29:4950 games here
29:50including a
29:51European
29:51Championship
29:52final for his
29:53country
29:53but he's 34
29:54now Trippier
29:55and he wouldn't
29:56be playing today
29:57were it not for
29:58an injury to
29:59another young
30:00England
30:01international
30:01Lewis Hall
30:02who's missing

30:05Sven Botman
30:06is missing

30:09through suspension
30:10Robertson
30:14headed by
30:15Shear
30:16Salah happy
30:19to wait
30:20for the corner
30:20for Liverpool
30:31now
30:32an opportunity
30:32Newcastle over
30:34recent weeks
30:34have had a real
30:35problem
30:35defending near post
30:37corners
30:37a flick on
30:38a touch
30:38actually
30:39just getting
30:40anything away
30:41something that
30:42I was frustrated
30:44with
30:44Liverpool won
30:46last year's final
30:47form an in-swinging
30:48corner from
30:49their left
30:49back
30:49and it was
30:50Simikas
30:51now it's
30:51Robertson
30:52and it is
30:56by Joe
30:57Linton
30:57sentry on guard
31:00duty at the
31:00near post
31:01that's the
31:02through in
31:03well seen by
31:30Leverimento
31:30bit of space
31:34for Murphy
31:35but
31:35I'm not sure
31:37if Van Dijk
31:38doesn't get a
31:38script given
31:39to him
31:39beforehand
31:40that's a
31:41lovely ball
31:41from Robertson
31:42goalkeeper
31:42committed
31:42and just
31:43about got
31:44there ahead
31:44of Luis
31:44Diaz
31:45the flag
31:47is up
31:47that was
31:49a rush
31:49of blood
31:50now
31:50Nick Pope
31:51missed the
31:52final two
31:52years ago
31:53because of
31:54suspension
31:54why
31:55because he
31:56was shown
31:56a red card
31:57the week
31:57before
31:58against
31:58Liverpool
31:58rushing
31:59from his
32:00penalty
32:00the area
32:00and handling
32:02the ball
32:02that was
32:03Mo Salah
32:03this was
32:04Luis Diaz
32:04it was more
32:06by luck
32:07than judgment
32:07as Diaz
32:08have got
32:08there first
32:09and
32:09Nick Pope's
32:11brilliant
32:11many things
32:12in goal
32:12tackling
32:13I'm not so
32:13sure
32:14well he's
32:15played four
32:16times in the
32:16last five
32:17weeks
32:17weeks
32:17even
32:18Kelleher
32:18on the
32:19other end
32:19hasn't
32:19played
32:20at all
32:20in the
32:20last five
32:21weeks
32:21Pope had
32:22a spell
32:22out
32:23with a
32:23knee
32:23injury
32:24Kelleher
32:25has been
32:25understudy
32:26to
32:26Alisson
32:26for
32:27much of
32:29the season
32:29he's
32:31he's
32:31he's
32:31he's
32:32he's
32:33he's
32:33he's
32:35he wanted to
32:36let that run
32:36so Nali
32:37wouldn't let him
32:37point a kick
32:40brilliant
32:41endeavour
32:41you can't
32:44see
32:44Clare
32:45just
32:45keeps on
32:47going
32:47and going
32:48and going
32:48and driving
32:49determination
32:50but all that
32:52training you do
32:52as a goalkeeper
32:53it's your
32:53judgment
32:54which is
32:54tested
32:55on match
32:55day
32:55yeah
32:55balls
32:57like that
32:57balls
32:57over the top
32:58crosses
32:59things that
33:00you can't
33:00train
33:01you can
33:01practice
33:01the shots
33:02you can
33:02practice
33:03kicking
33:03and dealing
33:05with distribution
33:05but those
33:06judgments
33:06make
33:07as you say
33:08Clive
33:08can't replicate
33:10it
33:10Trippier
33:11with the
33:11corner
33:12people have
33:15dealt with
33:16these pretty
33:16well so far
33:17Tonali
33:18Trippier
33:19again
33:19Kelleher
33:21has come
33:21for this
33:21and his
33:23presence
33:23was enough
33:25to put
33:26off Dan
33:26Burn
33:27who was
33:28unable to
33:29connect
33:29with the
33:29ball
33:29it's
33:31Casey
33:31point
33:31there
33:32you
33:33draw to
33:34the ball
33:35you think
33:35oh it's
33:35a slow
33:36ball to
33:36the far
33:36post
33:37it's
33:38unaware
33:39who's
33:39around
33:40your
33:40down
33:40bounds
33:40around
33:41you
33:41twice
33:43because
33:43of the
33:43size
33:43of him
33:44I mean
33:45Kelleher's
33:46selection is
33:46fascinating
33:47really but
33:47he has been
33:48the hero
33:49of the two
33:50final victories
33:51that Liverpool
33:51have had
33:52in the last
33:53three years
33:53hasn't conceded a
33:54goal in either
33:55actually scored a
33:56goal in one of
33:57them
33:57scored the
33:5811th and
34:00final penalty
34:01back in
34:022022
34:03in the
34:04shootout
34:04he has
34:06was caught
34:06late
34:07there
34:07and the
34:07referee
34:08is just
34:08going to
34:09have a
34:11word
34:11to try
34:12to calm
34:12things down
34:13yeah
34:14it's
34:14Kieran
34:14Trippier
34:15again
34:15he's had a
34:16feud in this
34:17first half
34:18and I think
34:18he's just
34:18saying
34:19any more
34:19you'll be in
34:21trouble
34:21you get
34:22the yellow
34:22card
34:22he's one of
34:25the more
34:26experienced
34:26players
34:27he's played
34:27here so many
34:28times for
34:28club and
34:29country
34:29but
34:29a right
34:30back
34:31I'm going to
34:31book him
34:32it's a dangerous
34:33proposition for
34:35Newcastle
34:36it's dangerous
34:38but as many of
34:48his appearances
34:48this season
34:49have been from
34:49the benches
34:50from the start
34:50Trippier
34:51so
34:51here's another
34:53one who's
34:53maybe
34:53working through
34:55the gears
34:55first time at
35:06Wembley for
35:06on a slot
35:06not even
35:07watched a game
35:08here from the
35:08grandstands
35:09but he's taken
35:10every other
35:10first in his
35:11measured strides
35:13so far
35:14I didn't see a lot
35:16of Eddie Howe
35:17when the two
35:18clubs met at
35:18Anfield
35:18three weeks ago
35:19because he was
35:20serving a
35:20touchline ban
35:21sharing his
35:23opinions
35:24for the referee
35:25another touchline
35:27beat this week
35:28barnes
35:35barnes
35:35environmental is overlapping
35:38barnes has found a good cross
35:44with his left foot
35:44and he's actually there
35:45with the header
35:46hit Robertson
35:46Trippier
35:47and that hit Robertson too
35:49interesting because Newcastle have actually got two right footers on that left hand side
35:54barnes and livermento and maybe liverpool didn't expect barnes to trust his left foot there
35:59yeah and he can do that
36:01he's got the ability
36:02and they've lost
36:03Isak
36:04beyond the far post
36:05he's just drifted wide of everybody
36:07it's difficult because you've got the goalkeeper in front of you
36:11you've got the defender blocking off
36:12another a lot of the goal is a difficult chance for Isak
36:16Trippier
36:21towards the head of Byrne again
36:24and it was glanced by Gimurais
36:27straight into the hands of Keevan Kelleher
36:30well again it was Alexis McAllister who was next to Dan Byrne
36:34yeah and they know that
36:36Alexis McAllister's job solely to block it
36:39that's a really big chance for Gimurais
36:41he's downed him in a flash in an instant
36:43but
36:44he's got his head onto it
36:46he's thinking six yards out
36:47against Liverpool
36:49you're not going to get many better chances like that
36:51it's Gordon Newcastle United's
36:54winner at West Ham on Monday
36:56from close range Bruno Gimurais
36:58Gimurais
37:28that's a foul by Sposlai
37:35been on the fringes of things so far
37:39Dominic Sposlai
37:39I thought he looked really re-energised
37:42against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday
37:43one of Liverpool's better performers
37:46there's another chance for Newcastle
37:49Trippier will drift and wander over to take it
37:52he's tending to hit everything
37:55long deep crosses
37:58not maybe it's necessary to score off the first contact
38:01but get it back across goal
38:03in between the goalkeeper and the back line
38:05you can see Dan Byrne
38:08and you can see Alexis McCallister standing next to him
38:12looking up at him
38:14Trippier
38:17Van Dijk deals with that one comfortably enough
38:22Joe Linton
38:24Cher
38:25away by McAllister
38:27Suboslai
38:28Salah
38:29early on towards Luis Diaz
38:31they're headed by Murphy isn't quite strong enough
38:33goalkeeper committed
38:34gets his head to the ball
38:35so does Cher
38:36drops for a black and white
38:38shirt rather than a red shirt
38:41just as well
38:41for Newcastle
38:42Van Dijk impeccable
38:46he's been the player of the match
38:48in the last
38:49two Liverpool League Cup final victories
38:52nobody's ever won three of those awards
38:55he's made a good start
38:56Kwanza
38:57now Salah
38:59Jarl Kwanza will take it off
39:02three red shirts up with him
39:04Joe Linton back with him
39:05really really good work that by Joe Linton
39:09free kick given
39:11cheerleader as well
39:15that's his game all over
39:18signed as a centre forward
39:19now a box-to-box midfielder
39:21he's had a
39:23rejuvenation in his career
39:25he's been fantastic over the last couple of years
39:27this is what he's all about
39:28he's been end-to-end for the last couple of minutes
39:31really did open up
39:32Nick Pope called into action
39:33with a decisive act
39:34Joe Linton there
39:36he enjoyed that
39:37yeah he's really improved over
39:38his six seasons with the club
39:41almost in step with the club
39:4250 million dollar misfit centre forward
39:45he's become a midfield powerhouse
39:48he's in the Brazilian squad
39:51for those two big World Cup qualifiers coming up
39:53along with Bruno Gimerais
39:57Gimerais and McAllister
40:00will meet in Buenos Aires
40:02in ten days time
40:03again
40:06I'm sure Linton using his body to make that difficult for Canate
40:18the referee has stopped play because
40:22there's an injury
40:25three head injuries in one
40:28it's a Bosla I think
40:30that's why Linton had no real interest in
40:36heading the ball that's why there's the initial collision
40:39Newcastle will be really pleased with how this first half's gone
40:49look to be positive
40:52on the ball and off the ball
40:54flying the ointment really is
40:57that historically Liverpool come out in this season
41:00with a real spring in the step in the second half
41:03and look to be sealed for that
41:04this is the first week of all season that Liverpool
41:08really had to deal with a major setback
41:11they lost their fourth English Premier League game of the season
41:15back in mid-September to Nottingham Forest
41:17at Anfield
41:19it was a shock to their system
41:20but they came from behind to beat Milan at San Siro three nights later
41:24and they've just kept on winning
41:27didn't lose a game that truly hurt their main ambitions
41:30until last Tuesday against Paris Saint-Germain
41:33but the next match
41:36the next inning
41:37the next quarter
41:38after a bad one
41:40is always a test for a sports team
41:41there's a handball appeal there by
41:45Luis Diaz
41:46as Kieran Trippier brought it
41:48away from him and under control
41:51Joel Linton to Ezak
41:54Robertson sliding in
41:56forward by Van Dijk
42:01the VAR today
42:03Stuart Atwell has checked that
42:05handball appeal
42:08then cleared it
42:09arguably
42:12it's up but it does bounce in front of him
42:16and the actual movement of running
42:18is there
42:19that's why it's not given
42:20if it brushed the fingers
42:27that's all it did
42:27VAR confirming Rob's view
42:35that the movement of the arm
42:37was natural
42:37in the course of running
42:39Jota
42:40slipped in towards Luis Diaz
42:42and Trippier's defended that flank
42:44pretty well so far
42:45it's combative
42:50I think
42:54the older he gets
42:56the slower the legs get
42:58the more his brain has to work
43:00and
43:01hopefully he's got a wonderful footballing brain
43:03he's got a bit of a boat
43:06but he's got a bit of a boat
43:07a bit of a bit of a bit of a deal
43:08and now he's got a bit of a boat
43:09by Tonale
43:09on Sir Boz療
43:10unseen concept forward burn down to the liberamento balance
43:28yeah it's actually guided into the path of tino liberamento
43:33onto his favorite right foot was likely to cut inside it's towards
43:39isak
43:44that's the natural left foot of lewis hall that newcastle are missing on that side
43:49it's a whole new combination with gordon missing as well but the running for his side from harvey
43:55barnes gave liberamento that space to get long and again you just feel him on his own up there
44:02needs another body to get into the middle with him he's a midfielder up there it's tough it's a big
44:07pitch but you've got to get up there as a door
44:19put use of the ball by share again liberamento once more
44:23his target
44:30stop by grab a bit
44:35I just wonder if all their exploits in Champions League
44:42and forcing their voice clear at the top of the English Premier League
44:45and it's taken a little bit of the edge off Liverpool
44:48the sharpness, the brightness, the craft in their play
44:53doesn't seem to be quite at the levels
44:55the very high levels they've set this season
44:57I'm looking at the players who've played in that, who've made that
45:01they've played pretty much every game
45:03they've been going week in, week out
45:05look at the guys who need that spark
45:07the centre forwards, the wingers
45:09certainly not firing as they were
45:12Murphy
45:13that's a very hopeful goal into the box
45:26we've had a look at the celebrity Newcastle fans in the house
45:30Stephen Gerrard
45:32born and bred Liverpool fan
45:34Liverpool captain
45:36night of the realm
45:44Kenny Dalglish with their record goal scorer Ian Rush sitting just behind him
45:49if you break records at Liverpool you're going some
45:54and Ian Rush is the club's leading goal scorer
45:56do you think he has to buy his ticket
45:58they're both connected with the club
46:01they're in official capacity
46:03Stephen Gerrard's song bang on cue
46:19and that's a good one by Van Dijk but here's Harvey Barnes
46:25can I say how to get across to him the ball broke kindly there for Barnes
46:29just looking right outside his screen
46:34Newcastle and Liverpool players going down that creates a space for Harvey Barnes it's a really good touch into that space
46:40wide on the left
46:42starting a third consecutive game today for only the second time in his two year Newcastle career
46:4918 substitute appearances this season for Barnes tells its own story of
46:55frustration
46:56and his chance because of Gordon's suspension
46:58Trippier
47:00it's towards Bern again
47:02well that has been an accident waiting to happen for Liverpool
47:05Dan Bern is only the tallest man on the field
47:09Liverpool have left him alone again
47:11and Dan Bern gives Newcastle United the lead
47:15it's his first goal for over a year
47:19and Liverpool just didn't deal with him
47:23they had so many warnings
47:25how straightforward was that
47:35and it's a save black and white
47:41Wembley erupts and it's a brilliant header from the big man
47:46and it is just a brilliant ball
47:50and a wonderful header
47:52the power from the delivery is met by the weight of the header
47:58and it's executed to perfection
48:02this has been something that has been working on all week
48:05something that has been brewing
48:07they're delighted
48:09the 45,000 to our left are in raptures
48:13it's an incredible moment just before half time
48:16Dan Bern came to Wembley 25 years ago
48:21as a Newcastle United fan
48:23he was born in the vicinity
48:27he was released by the club as an 11 year old
48:30he's heartbroken
48:31he returned 18 years later
48:35to be a Newcastle United player
48:37and to score for them
48:40in a cup final
48:41is about as good
48:43a dream as a Newcastle fan
48:46or player could possibly have
48:48his last goal of any description
48:51was in January of last year
48:53as you said Clive
48:55it's been waiting to happen
48:57with Alexis McAllister on him
48:59we never thought that he was going to get the opportunity
49:01to get the shot away
49:03it was just going to be one that was
49:04helping it back into the box
49:06helping it back into a dangerous area
49:07what he proved was wrong
49:10but
49:13but
49:14Newcastle have led
49:16in six of their last 12 games
49:18against Liverpool
49:19and they have not won any of them
49:21it's got plenty to bonder at half time
49:25because it's
49:26just not been good enough
49:28from Liverpool
49:29they haven't really
49:31made a glove as such
49:33here's McAllister
49:41Mohamed Salah
49:44isolated with Leverimento
49:46crossed into Luis Diaz
49:49headed down
49:49Jota
49:50it's just behind him
49:52it was a good connection
49:54Diaz did well
49:56to get up
49:57and knock it down
49:57but it just bounced behind
49:59Diogo Jota
50:00the first time we've really seen Mo Salah
50:02great ball then
50:04a really clever knockdown from Diaz
50:06he's done everything he can for Jota
50:08yes it's behind him
50:09he just feel
50:10a year ago
50:11maybe he would have taken that
50:12well it's a special feeling
50:14to score a goal
50:15at Wembley Stadium
50:16as if I'd know
50:17Dan Byrne
50:18scored one here
50:19before
50:20for Yeovil Town
50:21in front of 42,000 people
50:24in a League One
50:25playoff final
50:26that was 12 years ago
50:28I think this one
50:30will mean a little bit more
