A portion of Mauricio Pochettino’s wrath toward referee Paul Tierney may have been best left in the locker room following Chelsea’s 4-1 loss to Liverpool.

Chelsea had two close calls for penalties turned down, while Liverpool had one, much to the Argentine’s annoyance. Pochettino might have also felt that a few of his players received too many yellow cards.

However, the trutҺ is that a squad worthy of becoming champions easily defeated Chelsea, who were second best. At Anfield, Liverpool justifiably prevailed over Chelsea, demonstrating a vast quality disparity.

Next month, Chelsea will face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, and with no moves anticipated on deadline day, Pochettino will have to decide how to advance the team.

Without evidence, Caicedo cannot win.

Whether or whether Moises Caicedo might prove that Liverpool made a mistake by not signing him last summer was a major topic of discussion from Chelsea’s point of view leading up to the match. It was too bad he couldn’t.

The middle for Chelsea, where Caicedo was expected to add steel, looked feeble against Jurgen Klopp’s heavy metal style of play.

Truthfully, neither did Enzo Fernandez’s justifiable yellow card a few minutes later, nor his harsh early booking.

At halftime, Conor Gallagher was replaced, and the defense was largely ineffective. Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile’s partnership has been underwhelming this season, leaving them exposed.

Nkunku provides the excellence that Chelsea has been lacking

Despite making just five appearances since joining the club from RB Leipzig for £52 million, the halftime substitution provided a welcome burst of optimism on an otherwise dreary evening.

Christopher Nkunku exuded confidence with each deliberate, precise touch. He was able to keep the ball better than Cole Palmer, who began the match as a false nine, thanks to his physical strength.

Not long after scoring, he had a golden opportunity to earn a penalty. You may sаy that Chelsea lost points this season due to Nkunku’s ιnjury wоes.

Too shy to ruin the celebration

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea avoided being “clowns at the circus” by defeating Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield a decade ago, thereby delivering a championship blоw.

Ten years later, they were mercilessly bullied by the better team and couldn’t halt Jurgen Klopp’s title pursuit as Liverpool regained their five-point lead.

The home team could have scored more, but they missed a penalty and Һit the crossbar four times.

In the build up, Chelsea were the sideshow at Klopp’s prolonged leaving party. They were unable to do anything more than complain about refereeing decisions as Liverpool remained clear of Manchester City and Arsenal, and moved 20 points ahead of Chelsea.
