Gary Neville was disappointed with Chelsea's performance in the League Cup final.
More precisely, the ex-Manchester United player does not understand how it was possible to lose so much in extra time, and even against children.
«Before the game, given Liverpool's injuries, you would have thought Chelsea were capable of winning. The Liverpool boys take to the pitch and you think Chelsea should win. But then something holds you back because you can't imagine Jurgen Klopp watching Chelsea lift the trophy over their heads.
Chelsea players will regret this extra time for a long time. I thought they were pretty good and threatening in the main time. They were a little unlucky. But in the midst of extra-times, when they had Liverpool and their youth by the collar, Chelsea didn't get involved. You can not do it this way. During the extra-half break, Pochettino should have gathered them together and tried to stir them up. What happened to them?
I was very disappointed with Chelsea's performance in extra time. You can lose any final, any match, but you can’t play like that. You can't cower and retreat, especially when Liverpool had five kids on the pitch. They should have grabbed them by the throat,” Neville was quoted as saying by Sky Sport.
Earlier, Pochettino also commented on his team’s performance.
