⚽ FOOTBALL: Carabao Cup 2024/2025

[Distraction]

It was a boring match for me to be honest. The main reason was that we didn't watch any goal in the first place. Yeah, maybe Liverpool dominated the match very highly but this didn't change anything for them. They were just desperately trying to get ahead against a one-man absent Arsenal. And Arsenal did a really good job by resisting them till the end as they played like this for more than an hour. I wonder what will happen in Emirates.

There were moments of excitement in the game.

Liverpool could have scored at the end to seal the win but Minamino hit the ball over the bar when it seemed like an empty goal. Arsenal could have scored in the first  half after Xhaka was sent off but Saka could not control the ball when it was crossed in to him.

Hopefully the return leg will be much more interesting.

Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool


Arsenal fielded a strong team but lost to a Liverpool team that had first team choice players missing. Jota scored both Liverpool goals.

I am not sure if Arsenal wanted to win this game to the extent they would have postponed the north London derby against Tottenham but whatever happened it is Liverpool going to Wembley to play Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday 27th February 2022.

Was expecting much more from Arsenal in this match. With Liverpool not having a lot of players in this match due to an African tournament. But i think we will probobly see Liverpool winning this tournament they are for me the main favorites in it.

@JollyGood I personally believe it was all about the positive attitude yesterday, and these Liverpool player’s despite missing several top stars showed their positive attitude on the pitch and easily defeated arsenal. Although Chelsea are not playing great at the moment, but I feel that the final game will be different and they can definitely beat Liverpool if they play well, hence let’s hope that we get to see an entertaining match between these two top sides.

I think you are right. Liverpool played in a positive way but to be fair so did Arsenal before and even after the sending-off. They had chances to win it but did not take them whereas Liverpool ended up taking their very late chances to win.

Chelsea vs Liverpool is the same as Tuchel vs Klopp

@JollyGood this one will be classic game to watch, because both managers would want to win a cup before this season ends and hence I expect them to field their best team for the finale. Furthermore I feel that Liverpool is a stronger side and my favourite to win this cup, but then again Tuchel and his tactics can’t be ignored so I’m really torn on whom to wager, what about you which team do you think will win?.

[JollyGood]

Which team do you think will win this game?

I think Chelsea will win in 90 minutes therefore no extra-time and no penalties. The score ending up something like 2-1

The game is taking place on Sunday 27th February. Whether Chelsea win or lose the final, they could find themselves in an uncomfortable place in the Premier League table because if Manchester United win their home game against Watford tomorrow - they will be just 1 point even though they would have played 2 games more.

Liverpool have started to narrow the gap against Manchester City at the top of the table so can take their mind away that and focus on this game with a view to trying to win the final.

Rooting for my team (Liverpool) to clinch the Carabao cup title as this might be one of the few opportunities we would have to lift a trophy this year (UCL still as tough as ever and  it's a top battle for the PL title against City as well). I'm hoping Klopp fields a strong squad against Chelsea on Sunday. As a matter of fact, winning a trophy now that we're this close to City would most likely boost our team confidence to compete more for PL title. It would be an easy task though since Tuchel has eyes on the Carabao cup from the onset.

In the Carabao Cup final, Thomas Tuchel believes Liverpool have the best chance of beating Chelsea. If you're a coach, you can't make your opponent think you aren't strong enough, so on Sunday they will observe a new spirit on the field. Tuchel is a tactical coach, so the way you speak also needs to be tactical. This might be an attempt to distract the Reds. Regardless of how good Chelsea's defense is, Liverpool will win. This will be a tough game if Liverpool starts with the EPL's top players.

Going by performance in the tournament I think Liverpool stand some chance against Chelsea team. Chelsea beat Tottenham by 1 goal and Liverpool defeated Arsenal by 2: 0 . And in the cause of the both games, Liverpool has been good on the ball usually in their traditional way but I read online that Jurgen Klopp may have some challenges but fingers waiting anyway. The match is starting up by 5:30 African time tomorrow Sunday.

It's a final game and you can't exactly always predict performance regardless of how each team has performed in their previous games before this final. Both teams stand a chance to lift the Carabao cup. Kieta will be starting for Liverpool and he has to impress as Thiago has had an injury while warming up for this game. Chelsea is without Ziyecha but i am sure they can cope. looking to see how the first 45mins will go.

It is currently half-time, the game stands at 0-0. Mount missed a chance to put Chelsea ahead with a volley but he hit the ball wide even though he was just 8 yards outside the goal. Maybe that will be the incident Chelsea will regret.

[buwaytress]

I wasn't expecting 0-0 even though that was the likeliest outcome at HT on the bookie odds. Hard for me to be objective as a Reds supporter but had we switched our forwards and been given the same chances, I daresay we'd be 2-nil up.

Keita is a little frustrating for me, and I feel like we need to harry them a little bit more. Good news is we do have options and I trust Klopp's tactics more than Tuchel's.

As long as we keep forcing the corners we should be fine. Chalobah seems a slight chink to be exploited, and they seem shaky defending corners.

Game on, I guess.

The word that best describes the miss is SHOCKING!
Chelsea fans may not be happy at Chelsea's missed opportunities. They missed some incredible opportunities that did not come easy to them. The moment you miss yours, the moment your opponent scores, the game is over. However, let the deserving team win.

[Rruchi man]

Chelsea fans may not be happy at Chelsea's missed opportunities.

Tense game here, a lot of goals goals denied, both teams clearly keeping a high defensive line, penalties now, and any team that wins clearly deserves the win, IMHO both teams have played hard and well enough to win this. I didn't expect a goalless draw especially with all the injuries. I'm watching the game at a public place and clearly it is Chelsea against other teams.

Chelsea missed alot of opportunities from the beginning at most five good chances which they are supposed to score, shall from initial i predicted the match to be draw were we are analysing the ball but many people couldn't agree with me, i have seen that Chelsea opportunity became stronger, if not that Chelsea goalkeeper who are smart enough they would have score more than 3 goals.

I protested the introduction of Kepa.
Kepa once or twice has been good in catching pk, but pk is more of a thing of luck. Meanwhile, Mendy during the just concluded AFCON saved Pk and he should have been given some benefits of doubt.
I really knew that Kepa will be disastrous. It is disappointing that Kepa could not catch 1 out of 11 pk taken and to crown it all, he send his own pk to the fans.
Congratulations Liverpool, you deserve the cup.

What are you saying, have you seen kepa's goal saving ratios? Nobody comes close in the premier league and even Mendy knows that. Chelsea has played about 3 penalty shootout this season and kepa has been our go to keeper. Mendy isn't good when it come to penalty, the save against Egypt was just luck. There was nothing Chelsea could do in today game as it was programmed for Liverpool to win.

Did you watch the penalty shootout, you can see kepa diving the right direction but the penalties were just good to be stopped. Kepa was under too much pressure and I don't understand why he let that get into his head. It's just a mistake that he'll shake it off. Already Chelsea has won sliver wears this season so losing this one isn't a big deal although it would had been great winning it.
