Luckily, this is only the first leg, so Liverpool still has a big chance of turning things around in the second leg. I also don't understand that in this league cup semi-final match, the teams that were highly favored actually lost. For example, Arsenal also lost to Newcastle in the first leg. So whether this is a coincidence or Liverpool and Arsenal are currently experiencing a decline in performance. But the point is we cannot conclude that Liverpool or Arsenal will fail to reach the final round at this time. Because the match is not over yet, therefore I really can't wait to see the second leg match in the semi-finals of this league cup.
I thought I would watch the Arsenal vs Liverpool final. If these two teams met in the final, the match would have been more competitive and exciting. But Arsenal lost 2-0 to Newcastle in the first leg and Liverpool lost 1-0 to Tottenham.
However, both Arsenal and Liverpool have a great chance to make a comeback. However, it is a bit difficult. Because Tottenham won the first leg, Tottenham will naturally play a completely defensive strategy in the second leg. As a result, it will be more difficult for Liverpool players to break Tottenham's defense. At the same time, Newcastle is also in very good form now. It is also unlikely that Arsenal will win 3-0 in the second leg.
I personally previously hoped that the two teams would meet in the final, but on the other hand I think their chances to still meet in the final are also still open, Liverpool was defeated by Tottenham with a narrow score, so it is likely that they can make a comeback in the second leg later, especially later the match will be played at Anfield where they will get full support from the fans, although Tottenham is currently 1-0 ahead of Liverpool but I am sure that in the second leg they can turn the situation around and reach the final, while Arsenal have a more difficult situation by catching up 2-0 and playing at Newcastle home, but if we look at the history and also the mentality that Arsenal has in the Carabao competition, I think they also have a chance to be able to turn the situation around although it may be with difficulty.
