Chelsea defeated Newcastle on penalties to book their spot in the Carabao Cup semifinal thanks to Kieran Trippier's horrible mistakes.
Kieran Trippier's arrival at Newcastle has been a standout and significant addition to the Magpies, bolstering the team's improvement and determination.
Despite his previous success, Trippier's performance has caused a major setback for Newcastle and their ambitions.
Trippier's form started to decline after making two costly mistakes during the 3-0 defeat to Everton on December 7.
He was also beaten by Son Heung-min for both of Tottenham's first two goals in a 4-1 defeat in the following match.
As a result, some Newcastle United fans now believe Trippier intentionally helped Chelsea qualify for Carabao Cup Semis pointing at the moment when his form began to drop.
Kieran Trippier suffered a disappointing performance at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, December 19, costing Newcastle a spot in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Callum Wilson initially gave the visitors the lead thanks to poor defending from Chelsea's defender Benoit Badioshile.
However, a mistake by Kieran Trippier allowed Mykhailo Mudryk to score a last-minute equalizer.
Just two minutes away from the Magpies' first-ever away victory in a League Cup quarter-final, Trippier's header set up Mudryk to score, sending the game to penalties.
Trippier was seen in another terrible performance in the shootout, as he missed his spot-kick.
In the shootout, Trippier was one of two Newcastle players to miss a penalty, ultimately leading to Chelsea advancing.
After Chelsea's 1-1 equalizer, the Blues scored all four of their penalties, while Djordje Petrovic saved Matt Ritchie's effort for Newcastle.
After the Carabao Cup quarter-finals clash at Stamford Bridge, fans dug out Trippier's post on X, formerly Twitter, which he made in April 2014. The post reads: "Come on Chelsea," which suggests that the Englishman was a Chelsea fan.
The tweet appears to have been posted ahead of Chelsea's Champions League semi-final defeat to Atletico Madrid nine years ago.
Reacting to Trippier's post, one fan claimed he intentionally helped Chelsea calling him: "Chelsea's 12th man."
Another fan called for his exit saying: "He needs to leave now, being useless"
One wrote: "He must be investigated".
Another fan had a different opinion, asserting that Trippier frequently allowed opponents to score and played a key role in giving Chelsea their victory.
He wrote: "Trippier isn’t the same after he insulted his fans when they played Bournemouth.
"He gifted two goals against Everton, made some mistakes against Spurs, was at fault in the AC Milan game, and today too he gifted Mudryk a goal."
However, some of the commenters pointed out that Trippier's tweet from ten years ago has nothing to do with his mistakes on the pitch emphasizing that he's dropped form from previous matches.
They condemned the claim that Trippier intentionally helped Chelsea while emphasizing that his form started to decline after making two costly mistakes during the 3-0 defeat to Everton and subsequent matches.
One wrote: "Why's everyone turning on Trippier all of a sudden? He's had a bad couple of games don't get me wrong but is everyone forgetting how good of a player he is?"
Another wrote: " He's been having a bad game for the past 3-4 matches? It has nothing to do with an old tweet"
Former Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given expressed his support for Tripper to overcome his recent challenges.
Given the emphasis on Tripper's positive impact since the club's takeover and the arrival of a new manager, Eddie Howe.
Given also acknowledged that Tripper has had a rough couple of weeks but he is confident in his ability to bounce back.
He said: 'Look, since the takeover happened since the new owners come in since Eddie Howe came in for me, he's probably been the best signing.
'It's a couple of bad weeks. He knows that himself as we said as an experienced player.
'He's been the captain for a long part of that part as well and he will bounce back and he'll get the support of the fans because they know they've got a real quality player.'
While Newcastle supporters were taunting Trippier for his expensive blunders, Jamie Redknapp has also expressed his backing for Trippier, stating that he needs to work hard in training to regain his form.
Jamie Redknapp said: "He's a very experienced player, we looked at it 33 years of age is played in World Cups. He's been a top professional..."
"He's just got to work hard and in training I think is going to be important for him. You know, good people around him as well.''
Yesterday's victory could be a turning point for Mauricio Pochettino's season.
If the Blues had been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Newcastle, there would have been more questions on the performance of the Argentine manager.
Before eagerly anticipating the Carabao semi-final draw, the Blues must first focus on preparing for their premier league clash against Wolves.
Chelsea are set to face off against Wolves on Sunday, December 24th, with kickoff at 2 pm.
