"We want to win whatever is put in front of us, and the attitude stems from us, the coaches, and it should filter down."
"There is no difference between the games; these are opportunities to win trophies, and you can't just turn them away."
"So, the hard rounds are the early ones. They are very difficult. Last year, we had to battle through against Wimbledon on the way to winning it; Bradford was the same. The mentality, you can't switch off."
Newcastle United began their EFL Cup defence with a 4-1 victory over League One leaders Bradford City at St James' Park. Joelinton and William Osula each scored braces to secure the win. Newcastle registered 4.4 expected goals from 27 attempts, with 11 shots on target and nine Opta-defined big chances; Bruno Guimaraes struck the woodwork. Newcastle will host Tottenham in the fourth round. The club rotated seven players from the recent Premier League match while retaining experienced names, emphasising squad depth and a commitment to treating every match as an opportunity to win trophies.
