Newcastle United have won their first major trophy since winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1968-69, while it’s the club’s first major domestic success since winning the FA Cup in 1954-55 (programming.dev)

Again, a result I didn't see coming. Somehow a Liverpool team, that looked like it was cantering to the Premier League title, easily stumbles in cup competitions. Perhaps they are not as strong as the league position would suggest?

I think "easily stumbles" is harsh.

In the FA Cup they played a weakened side - too weakened, and that was a mistake, but it wasn't like the first team lost.

In the CL they took an awesome-looking PSG to ET and penalties.

And yesterday, they were crap, but very obviously knackered after the aforementioned midweek PSG game.

Spread too thin I think, a few more recruits in midfield and defence last summer would have helped.
