Congratulations to the Liverpool family for their wins and the championship in taking the Carabao Cup ahead of Chelsea as it was predicted by myself the last time. Liverpool have shown great performance in the EFL since and this will be like the 4th time that they are meeting with Chelsea but anytime they will have the opportunity to meet Chelsea, they will beat them in the finals.
This was expected by me and I was more sure of Liverpool winning and less sure of Chelsea winning but in the end, the giant Reds showed their capacity and prowess even though Chelsea had chances to capitalize on the injury crisis of the Reds but let's celebrate those who deserve being celebrated.
Celebration goes to Liverpool today, it was not easy but they did it. After today's final, Liverpool will continue to beat Chelsea each time they meets. Jurgen Klopp is classified among those experience coaches that knows how to play the Blues. Couldn't celebrate my opponents lifting the Carabao cup because I was upset full-time. The Blues have failed to make good use of the chances created, they couldn't grab the best results after witnessing it live. Liverpool have retained their domination against Chelsea after another loyal victory.
This EPL final match was a big challenge for Klopp, because he was forced to field second-tier players from his squad, and Klopp did not expect that the second-tier players in his squad would be able to provide resistance and pressure against Chelsea's goal. In fact, Chelsea also continued to put pressure on Liverpool's goal and had many good opportunities, but failed to take advantage of them to score goals. This match was very exciting where both teams put pressure on each other on goal until in the end it cannot be denied that Liverpool played more consistently and were able to win this match. I really appreciate Klopp who was able to provide a very good strategy for his second tier squad in this match, so that Liverpool became Carabao champions this season.
This match should have gone easier for Liverpool had the referee removed Caicedo for a flagrant foul, but not only did the referee not remove Caicedo for injuring a Liverpool player, but he didn't even give Caicedo a card. Why the referees did not use VAR is unclear, the offense there was clear and Chesley should have been left in the minority and Liverpool most likely would have scored earlier, and as you correctly noted had to release young players who at 19 - 21 years old had to play at such a high level and also in such a difficult match.
Chesley is still unstable and after one two wins there are several bad games and defeats, but still for Chesley in the current form it is still a success to reach the final and not to lose in regular time.
