TomB - Chelsea certainly were not better than us yesterday. Yes they had spells in the game when they were, but so did we.
All the stats show that we had more shots, more shots on target, more touches in the opposition box, much higher passing accuracy etc.
Overall I would say the teams balanced each other over the 120 mins.
Also, the average age of both teams were the same.
I'm glad you enjoyed your grandson's birthday.

TomB - I would say whoever won yesterday deserved to. It was a good game to watch, and in the end a great header from Van Dijk won it.
Both teams had a goal disallowed, and both hit the woodwork.
The standout for me was our £16m signing Endo who I thought was far calmer that Caicedo, who in my opinion, should have at least been booked.
Anyway, Chelsea do seem to be getting their act together at last, so I think you should see some improvement in your league position going forward.
At least all the posters on here who were saying that we were keeping injured players back for this final were wrong.
Good luck for the rest of the season, and look forward to playing Chelsea again next season.

Hey TomB - I bet you'd be quite happy to play us on Sunday without Alison, Trent, Szobo, Jota, Salah and Nunez. Whoever we play will try as hard as they can to make a game of it though.
About the scouser pundits bringing it up, who was it who posted above about Chelsea having 13 players out? Errrmmm let me think.

Martin - I am a Liverpool fan and I can tell you that we do have an injury crisis right now.
Big first team players currently missing are: Alison, Trent, Szobo, Matip, Jones, Salah, Jota and Nunez, plus Thiago who has been injured all season, That's 9 without counting Bajectic, who would be in the team if fit.
We all get injuries, but to have so many first choice players out at the same time is a pity. Fans want to see their best players on the pitch, especially in a final.
I know Chelsea are suffering too.
For me I have never considered the Carabao Cup to be a major trophy as I would much prefer to concentrate on the League. So I was far happier to beat Luton tonight.
I hope Sunday's game is a good watch for us all though.
