Honestly, Nobody anticipated Chelsea cy dominate so many goals, but they put too much pressure on Middlesbrough and scored six goals. Chelsea delighted the crowd, and their performance was certain to produce positive outcomes in the final. The fans did not expect such a goal from Chelsea because of their poor performance in the Premier League this season. If Chelsea can continue to perform as well as they did in today's encounter, I don't think they will found the final difficult.
Middlesbrough is not a difficult team for Chelsea to defeat, so I expected Chelsea to win at home. I was very disappointed when Chelsea lost their first meeting at Middlesbrough's stadium because they were playing poorly even in their league and should have won. However, because of their poor performance this season, Chelsea lost the match. Some people think that Chelsea is back to the high of play. They simply defeated a club in relegation, in my opinion, to make it to the final round, which will be difficult for them to win.
With their present performance, I don't think they can face any obstacles in the final with they well today. They exert a lot of effort and perform well against Middlesbrough as a result. But in any case, we'll have to wait and see who is going to wins the second leg Liverpool vs. Full Ham, for we to know who will meet with Chelsea in the final.
If Liverpool wins today to advance to the final round, it won't be any easier for Chelsea to play because they simply found an easy way to defeat a weak team. Liverpool will still have no problem defeating Fulham in their second match today. In their first meeting, Liverpool set a strong comeback, scoring two goals in the second half. Chelsea has not much chance of winning a trophy this season because Liverpool is stronger than them. Instead, Pochettino should work on improving his players so they can try again next season.
