Manchester City and Liverpool had a great match, scoring five goals together. This time Manchester City won with 3 goals, two of which were scored after great passes by De Bruyne and a couple of times City could score more from the same De Bruyne. Haaland also scored as usual, his scoring sense is just "animal", no chance for the opponent if he is at the edge of the attack.
Liverpool also played well, but from the outside it seemed that they lacked skilled players in attack, and Salah alone was not enough to win. It's good that after so many years Milner is still in the ranks and plays very well, gives out assists and manages to insure the defense.

Before I did not know about the existence of such a tournament (Carabao Cup). I always thought that it was all one Premier League, which has the English Cup.
It turns out there is another quite interesting tournament in England.

The Caraboa cup was formally called the Carling cup. It has always been in existence.

Nunez was mostly responsible for Liverpool's loss. He missed too many golden chances. He can't continue like that if he's to take Liverpool anywhere. If they had a clinical striker up front they might have even won the match. He's good off the ball and knows how to force attack but when it comes to scoring he's not that guy at all.
Liverpool's offense, of course, was very strange in this game.
If it wasn't for Salah, you'd think it wasn't a Champions League and Premier League winner in the recent past, but some pretty average team.

Maybe Klopp didn't want to field the strongest squad, but it still feels like the absence of Mane and some kind of stagnation in the transfer policy. In fact, all of Liverpool's successes were established long ago in 2015-18 when Klopp joined the team and came Mane, Firmino, Salah, Chamberlain, Van Dyke.

I am updating the thread to cover the competition for this season. Here are the latest results:

22nd December 2022
Manchester City 3-2 Liverpool

21st December 2022
Blackburn Rovers 1-4 Nottingham Forest
Charlton Athletic 0-0 Brighton and Hove Albion FT Charlton Athletic win 4-3 on penalties.
Manchester United 2-0 Burnley

20th December 2022
Milton Keynes Dons 0-3 Leicester City
Newcastle United 1-0 Bournemouth
Southampton 2-1 Lincoln City
Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Gillingham
We are looking forward to the quarterfinals draw after an intriguing round of 16 in the Carabao Cup. Possibly delaying the draw till after the next match between Charlton and Brighton. Both of them drew in the elimination round and are anticipated to play in the next leg. These are the tournament's rules.
 Liverpool losing to man city, I believe that Liverpool needs to address its midfield problems. might acquire new players through the January transfer window. This season, they have outperformed expectations.

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.pw
Come on man, there's no need to cast blames to the keeper, and we can't know better about the players IMO than the coaches and technical staffs that trains them. If the coach had seen kepa to be a good choice, then i think he was right. There were a lot of missed opportunities, there was this particular clear Chelsea chance at goal that came off the bar, the moment o saw that, i knew it was hard luck for Chelsea and Liverpool was going to win. Both teams played their best, but there is always going to be a winner and a loser.
I also think that the last thing in such a match is to blame Kepa, when the players of both teams were able to hit the opponent's goal with full compliance with football rules. I think the head coach of the team had the best information about his goalkeepers and acted accordingly. Let's not forget that Kepa has already won two penalty shootouts in this League Cup draw, and therefore Tuchel's logic is quite understandable when he decided to change the goalkeeper. The only mistake of Kepa is that he could not score a penalty, and this is still not the most important thing that is expected from the goalkeeper. Who wouldn't say that, but the penalty shootout is a kind of football lottery, where the luck factor plays a bigger role than in the goals that are scored during the match.

The match was determined by VAR. Kepa, who was sent on to save a penalty, missed it. What a brilliant and entertaining game of football. A football match would be more beautiful if everything around it were like we saw during Chelsea vs Liverpool. It was almost impossible to separate the two sides. The penalty shootout was quite boring. However, Liverpool won the game and this was an entertaining match.

Agreed, I preferred the game compared to the shout out since both keepers did very little to stop the kicks. I expected more from Kelleher and Kepa most especially since he was brought it towards the end of the extra time to step in for the shootout. Funny thing is that, if Kepa wasn't given the opportunity, media would say Tuchel was unfair to him considering he was pivotal for the team when Mendy was representing in Afcon a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway, both Liverpool and Chelsea suffered from unfair VA decisions over the course of the game so people need to stop making it look one-sided.

Happy we won the trophy though incase we don't win the UCL this season or City doesn't drop any more points for us to pickup  Wink

It worked before for Chelsea too against Villareal,,, he saved 2 penalties and won them the shootout in Europe, so I would definitely argue that this was a good strategy. Penalties is all about luck,,, and I guess nobody can predict keepers will be forced to take the penalties and in the end you cannot prepare for every single outcome.

Get on with it Chelsea fans Smiley

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Going by performance in the tournament I think Liverpool stand some chance against Chelsea team.
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.

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.

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.

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.
