Ahead of Sunday's final, Kieran Trippier says Newcastle United plan to use the time-wasting tactics he experienced against Erik ten Hag.
TheKieran Tripper doesn't understand why people are "kicking" Newcastle United for a perceived waste of time after Erik ten Hag called them "disgusting".
The Manchester United boss made the comments ahead of Sunday's EFL Cup final against Newcastle at Wembley Stadium, saying the Magpies were a "difficult team to play against".
Eddie Howe's men are playing the ball in just 52.3 percent of the game, the second lowest team in the Premier League this season behind Leeds United.
But Howe's tactics are working as Newcastle challenge for European qualification and also have the chance to end their 54-year major trophy drought against the Red Devils.
Trippier is confused by the criticism of his team, telling reporters: "I like it, everyone has the right to their opinion.
"But I experienced a lot in Spain. It's about knowing when to slow down the game. If the opponent has a lot of ball and is on top, of course you have to kill the game.
You're not going to throw it out quickly and say, 'go.' You have to control the game. "Some teams are not happy with us this season, but it's about being smart at the time, using your experience.
The opposition fans don't like it either, because they're against their team. But in moderation, I think it's good.
to see, I don't see why everyone is hanging, it's good! Asked if Newcastle planned to use the same tactics at Wembley,
Trippier replied: "Of course we will. "You have to have that mentality, if you want to win, if you want to win, you have to be beautiful every game. "You look at teams like Real Madrid and how they won.
They have players like Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, and they were the best. If you want to win, you have to manage the game well." and at the right time."
