Although I didn't watch the match but high lights after it ended because I was engaged in something else. Yeah, Liverpool was all over Tottenham judging from the statistics on ground. Liverpool really showed that they mean business this season, they want to win everything with their level of seriousness and I really admire their form this season and I wish them all the very best.

The thing is, it is almost impossible to win everything, but as a team, you must try to lay hands on as many trophies as possible. This is the mentality of teams like Manchester city, Liverpool, Real madrid and few others. Liverpool has always have that strong mentality to win as many trophies as possible. I remembered some seasons back when they won both the Fa cup and the carabao, after defeating Chelsea in both games on penalty. Those two trophies where the only thing they could get, so they did it with determination. This is the same mentality that other top teams don't have(won't want to mention names now). They play as if they are only focused on winning one title, and at the end of the day, they gey kicked out and end up not winning anything.

Spurs where no match for Liverpool. A team that has good attack, from the midfield line upfront, will definitely win games well. And playing a low block football against them was a very bad idea, because spurs isn't even good at playing such style.

Newcastle/Liverpool in the finals. Liverpool is obviously going to win this. Those low block and counter that Newcastle specializes on won't work against this Liverpool side, because of their good attack.

Patience and hard work are the keys to success.
Although as you said, anything can happen in football that's true. Newcastle is another inconsistent team judging from the way they've played so far this season, they are not serious because with the form Newcastle was earlier on this season, they were supposed to be fighting for second spot with Arsenal if not even above them in the standings. What pains me about Newcastle is how they lose unexpectedly, matches that normally they're supposed to win, you will see them losing it.
Yes, Newcastle have failed to live up to our expectations. They have let us down unexpectedly and disappointed the fans by losing games we expected them to win. Their position is not bad at all, they still have the potential to finish in the top 4 if they can be consistent. Newcastle are not to be underestimated, but they lack consistency. Eddie Howe needs to work harder to maintain consistency and the plan needs to be stronger and more innovative.

It was just too easy for Liverpool.  Smiley  It could have easily ended by even a bigger score than 4-0 as well. Tottenham were that horrible during the whole game...

Only Tottenham goalkeeper had a not bad game and the rest of the team were a mess. Now they are out of the EFL Cup and had better focus on not to get eliminated early in the FA Cup.

Now the name of the finale here is Liverpool - Newcastle. The final game is going to be played on March 16th. I think this is going to be the first trophy going for Arne Slot.  Wink
Interesting. This season Liverpool dominates all competitions, it's because they have a good coach, good players, and good teamwork. Although Liverpool lost 0-1 in the first leg, but then in the second leg Liverpool beat Spurs 4-0 at Anfield. Liverpool this season is so on fire, all their players play well. Gakpo is always sharp in the front line, Bradley is promising. Such a dominant appearance, if you look at Liverpool's performance which is on fire like this Newcastle will lose in the final match later.

Yes. This will be the first trophy with Arne Slot for Liverpool. Liverpool under Arne Slot is difficult to beat even though they have many matches but that doesn't matter and this proves that Liverpool is very dominant in all competitions. Even under Arne Slot I changed my mind, it turns out that the more matches do not affect the players there is no fatigue in Liverpool but on the contrary the more matches played, Liverpool is getting stronger. Liverpool will be stronger by playing many matches and not feeling tired. Liverpool is great under Arne Slot.

Hmmm... Everyone believes that Liverpool will be the winner of this competition because they are the strongest, but let's not underestimate Newcastle who have been in a good performance this season. They can shock us on that day and win Liverpool.

I feel Newcastle will take the match more serious than Liverpool because these set of Newcastle players can make history if they win the finals. Anything can happen because football is full of surprises.

This final will be serious however this will be the first trophy for Arne Slot if he wins this final, then it is not easy otherwise Newcastle pu same want to win this trophy if indeed Liverpool is closer to winning.

Do not be surprised if there is a surprise where Liverpool lose and Newcastle become the winner, because we cannot underestimate The Magpies, they have a great striker sometimes a solid defense if they play confidently.

It seems so easy for Liverpool, easy-peasy for the Reds. Liverpool 2 Vs Tottenham 0, this is how a serious team reacts. This is a team that lost the first leg by a 1 - 0 score line. This is how a team that means business should react to the face of first defeat. Act like you lost your first game and used that as motivation to play the next, show your fans that it was a mistake you guys did the first and make amends by playing better in the next game. If it ends like this, then the home team are off to the finals of EFL.
The final result is clear, Liverpool won 4-0 over Tottenham. Every goal scored by Liverpool did not make them relax the intensity of their attacks. On the contrary, what Tottenham showed was their worst performance in the semifinals, they did not even record a single shot on target against Liverpool, their performance further strengthened the view of people that Ange Postecoglu was indeed incompetent in handling Tottenham. On the other hand, Liverpool results today indicate that Arne slot wants many trophies in his first season with the Reds.

Liverpool team performed aggressively from the beginning, attacking the opposing team quite aggressively in this match. In this match, Liverpool team always kept the opposing team Tottenham team under pressure, Liverpool team had 66% of the ball in control throughout the match and the remaining 36 percent was in favor of Tottenham team.
And in terms of attack, Liverpool team made a total of 26 attacks and Tottenham team made 5 attacks, and there is another positive aspect for Liverpool team that is that the game was held at Liverpool team's home field.
And in this match, Tottenham team's defenders were very weak and could not resist the attacks in any way, based on the difference between these two teams, Liverpool team is much more aggressive in this match so they were able to easily secure the final.

Although I didn't watch the match but high lights after it ended because I was engaged in something else. Yeah, Liverpool was all over Tottenham judging from the statistics on ground. Liverpool really showed that they mean business this season, they want to win everything with their level of seriousness and I really admire their form this season and I wish them all the very best.

I didn't put any hope in Tottenham to be in the finals, because they are weak and inconsistent compared to Liverpool that's in their best form. Liverpool will be the winner of this competition because I don't think that Newcastle will be able to defeat them in the finals. However, it might be the best opportunity for Newcastle to win EFL for the best time, if they can win Liverpool.

To some extent, I don't blame Tottenham because they obviously have depleted squad and some of their players are clearly a fraction of their fittest self. Although, they should have done better but Liverpool is arguably the best best club now in Europe when it comes to consistency. I'm only disappointed at Tottenham despite playing against the best team for showcasing lack of interest at all and how they buckle under pressure. I never see a team so uninterested like the way Tottenham play yesterday. They were just 90 minutes away from a final despite having an empty trophy cabinet but unfortunately they failed to turn up. Imagine having no single shot on target in a Semi final match for the whole of 90 minutes apart from Son hitting the crossbar twice. That was a very poor performance from them honestly.

Ange Postecoglou had better be ready for his fate already now. Because he is getting closer to the end of his time at Tottenham day by day. They were finished by Liverpool and said goodbye to the EFL Cup also...

They are already terrible in the PL as you know. The main issue has been their defending.  Sad  They don't have issues with scoring as you have seen so many times in the PL. But they just can't defend which causes them to lose most of the time. The only way to solve the issue looks like to sign more defenders. But quality ones as much as possible. Kevin Danso is a start but not enough. They signed only him in the whole window. I don't know if Ange wanted this or they didn't let him bring more defenders.

To think of it though, what if Liverpool wins the Carabao and forfeit the EPL title? Will it be worth it? Although there's no guarantee yet that they will be the ones lifting it but with how things are going, they stand a chance more than the other competing clubs. So what it's going to be?

Liverpool might get both.
The competition in the Premier League is still undecided because Arsenal is still chasing the points difference with Liverpool. But it would be good enough for Slot if Liverpool gets Carabao and the Premier League. Moreover, there is still a chance for the Champions League where their performance so far has also been good. Liverpool is in good form this season, getting some titles will rekindle the spirit of the extraordinary fans. This season is their chance because next season might be different for Liverpool and the competition with different teams.

Liverpool advanced to the final match in the EFL Cup and will play against Newcastle in the final match later, so it will be certain Liverpool will win to beat Newcastle in the final match later. In addition, that Liverpool are also still in the FA Cup and of course, Liverpool still have a chance to get the trophy in the FA Cup too. With only that two tournaments, at least Liverpool have a very big chance to get the trophy, and again for the Premier League there seems to be no doubt for Liverpool who will get the title also in the Premier League this season.

If that happens, then of course Liverpool will win treble winners this season and if Liverpool manage to get a trophy in the Champions League too, then Liverpool certainly have a chance to get a quadruple this season, they are an impressive team of course this season.

Instead I see the opposite of what you think, currently arsenal indeed still a title contender and also liverpool closest competitor in the English league, but I don't see arsenal being a serious challenger that can derail them as champions, because so far the performance and consistency possessed by arsenal is very bad and that it is a big advantage for Liverpool to win the EPL this season, They have the potential to win the quadruple if they manage to maintain their performance and consistency well until the end of the season, besides having reached the Carabao final, Liverpool also has the potential to win the EPL title this season without any tight resistance, as well as the FA and UCL which are still very wide open for them.

If Liverpool achieves all of those trophies, it is an incredible achievement from Slot that shows the incredible competition in all competitions that Liverpool plays.
We haven't seen Liverpool with a performance like this for a long time. Last season, they did perform well but not as consistently as this. Maybe there is also the influence of lowering the performance of Arsenal and Man City. Of course that is an advantage for Liverpool that they might not get in the next season.

I am not an Arsenal fan, but they still have a chance in the Premier League. Hopefully, Liverpool does not add more draws in the remaining matches this season.

Did you all really think Tottenham Hotspur was going to do anything special in this meeting against Liverpool at anfield? The goals scored [4-0] [4-1 agg] in this match lays emphasis that Liverpool had come  well prepared to win and move onto the finals with Newcastle united at the Wembley. Tottenham has been one inconsistent team in the English league and as such I don't always take them seriously because they don't play like a team that is hungry after trophies.

The Caraboa Cup finalists has been set. Liverpool Vs Newcastle united.

No good gambler will ever pick a team like Tottenham to get a win against a Liverpool team in this their present form, despite Liverpool being the host team I think they can defeat Tottenham again even if they play from away. I
Every gambler has a choice to take their risk where they can, and don't forget that Tottenham won the first leg but later fumble in this second leg at anfield. And even if they were playing at Liverpool's home ground I didn't expect Tottenham not to give Liverpool a good fight in winning them. A 4:0 was just awful to even think of how they had to raise the hopes of their fans in the first meeting just to dust it at the second.

This pretty obvious Liverpool is gonna lift its first trophy this season. EFL, UCL, and PL. Treble winners are enough for them.
I wasn't sure why Arne Slot didn't signed for a new player in the January winter transfer window but with how his team keeps winning games it makes it easy for me to understand his sentiment of a no need.  Beating Tottenham Hotspur in the second leg at anfield was a win I envisaged for Liverpool but not with the 4:0 goals margin. With all their wonderful performance so far the chances of them winning the EFL cup against Newcastle is massive although Newcastle are really not going to allow that happen without a fight, and even the premier league too because right now am not sure Arsenal are showing any improved signs of standing strong as contenders against Liverpool.  For the champions league, it's still not clear till April.

Tottenham is no longer a reliable team if Ange is still the head coach.

And for Liverpool they are hard to stop this season, most likely Arne will present his first trophy this season through the Carabao Cup because challenging Newcastle in the final is not something difficult, it can be said that Liverpool is one step ahead.
Well, the final match will be held at Wembley Stadium on 16/3/2025 there is still plenty of time for both teams to prepare their best strategy especially for Newcastle because this is their only chance to get a trophy.

I didn't have a doubt that Liverpool were going to win yesterday and infact when I saw the stats, I concluded there and then who was going to meet Newcastle in the finals. It's clear enough that Tottenham do not really have anything big they are targeting other than remaining in the league because it's in competitions like this you try to put effort to see if you can at least get a trophy but they played so awfully yesterday I began questioning myself whether this were the same team that struggled to remove Man UTD, knowing fully how important the Red Devils take competitions like this.
 It will be a tough final between Newcastle and Liverpool and I'm not willing to overlook the trouble the magpies may cause for Arne's men but then again, Newcastle can't be reliable at times and Liverpool will be looking to win a trophy for Arne Slot as a way to encourage the guy and boost team morale.
To think of it though, what if Liverpool wins the Carabao and forfeit the EPL title? Will it be worth it? Although there's no guarantee yet that they will be the ones lifting it but with how things are going, they stand a chance more than the other competing clubs. So what it's going to be?

Yes, that's exactly what teams are supposed to do, score and keep on attacking instead of relaxing. Liverpool was really too hot for Tottenham on the night. The goals kept on coming. With the way coach plays, it's evident he really wasn't all the trophies available in the rack this season. I don't think I have seen Liverpool in this type of form for a very long time.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur will be meeting each other today at 21:00 in Anfield. The favorite team to win today is Tottenham but i know how difficult it will be because Liverpool are more like to win the game today. Liverpool is in first place in the UCL, First place in the EPL and is on the verge to qualify to the next final stage in the Caraboa cup. I don't want them to win all the competition. If they win the EPL or UCL then the Caraboa cup should be won by another team. Totteham is not in position to win anything this season expect the Caraboa cup. If they are able to win today i am sure they can contend against Newcastle for the finals.
It is only you that I have seen to believe that struggling Tothenham is the favorite team to todays caraboa cup semi finals second leg against inform Liverpool, Liverpool is believe to be one of the best team in the word now .
Is already HT and Liverpool is winning 1-0 at the Anfield stadium they are really punishing the Tottenham team with 73% ball possession and 11 goal attempt and with the performance of Liverpool in the first half I believe they will score more goals before FT of the game Liverpool had to play with their first 11 players to tell you how important this cup is to them because they are at advantage to win it this season because with am seeing Liverpool is already at Wembley stadium for the final against Newcastle who eliminated Arsenal yesterday with a 4-0 aggregate.
Agreegate Tottenham is leading with 1:0. How did they manage to do it in the first leg? I looked at the game from a different perspective because Tottenham is supposed to come out to play to find a goal. I noticed they were trying to defend in the game that is when I lost hope of what I predicted earlier on. Liverpool is not a team to defend from the beginning of the game till the end, they will surely break the 18-yard and score multiple goals. If you want to play Liverpool score them, they will score but also go for the goal at every given opportunity.

With Tottenham's current condition, it will not be easy to eliminate Liverpool in this competition even though Tottenham was ahead in the first leg but it was only 1 goal so Liverpool could turn things around in the second leg when playing at home and Liverpool really did it, I am sure Liverpool will win the Carabao EFL because the next opponent is Newcastle, but I also can't underestimate Newcastle because they managed to beat Arsenal in the 1st and 2nd legs and there could be a surprise in their meeting, but I will still favor Liverpool over Newcastle.
Liverpool is a very different team from Arsenal so Newcastle must be more careful in the final match when facing Liverpool because from the facts that happened yesterday that Liverpool is still very strong at this time and it is possible that the Liverpool team will win the EFL Cup trophy this season. Surprises can indeed happen in the final match, but for now I don't think that will happen because on paper Liverpool is still far superior to Newcastle in any way for this season so many people will hold Liverpool more for the final match.

I'm also wondering what the final match will be like. As you said, Liverpool is a much better team than Arsenal, but Newcastle plays with a certain system.
They accept the game on their own field and try to hit it with a counter attack with players like Isak and Gordon.
I know that the final match is on March 16. I hope there will be no missing injured players in the teams by then.
Yesterday, Tottenham tried to hold the game, but the strength of the player group was not enough. Yesterday Kinsky was in the goal and I think he did not inspire any confidence in the goal. He constantly tried to clear the incoming balls with punches and left his team in a difficult situation in some positions.
He cannot be Tottenham's goalkeeper at the moment.
