Did you really mean Chelsea had a good fight against a Liverpool second team? That was very embarrassing from Chelsea. Chelsea had the better chance to kill off the game but as usual, the attacking players lack the calmness and composure to score goals. If you observe, Liverpool didn't play with their full strength and this negate the excuse of Chelsea not good enough. I put the whole blame on the couch for the useless changes that he normally did.
Take a look at Klopp substitutions, it improves his team at every point in time despite the players are young but Pottechino changes always makes the team to be very weaken than usual. Imagine bringing in chalobah for chilwel and mudryk for Gallagher, very senseless subs that cost them the game. The worst of it is for the couch to come with unconvincing reason and say the team is undergoing reform. Changing the culture of the club and start new experiment of paying huge amounts for amateur players to play nonsense for the club should not be tolerated by the owners unless they mean to kill the club completely.
Good fight and they couldn't score a goal against those juvies? That must be a big joke lol. They Chelsea at least had a good game but they was not good enough when it comes to converting and scoring those goals.
Gallagher with two to three clear cut goal chances but he bottled them up, same with Cole Palmer, this should be the second finals he's lost right?
Id not blame him much for that miss rather I'd like to give praises to the goalkeeper for him to save that goal from getting in. Chelsea really has a poor record at Wembley and it has never been easy one.
For sometime I'd blame the player's for some part I'd say they lacked a good number nine to convert goals. Pochetino is not the player he has done his substitution just that they didn't get him results.
