Gary Neville called Chelsea 'billion pound bottle jobs' as they wilted towards the end of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool and questions should be asked over Mauricio Pochettino’s managementBillion-pound bottle-jobs was a slightly harsh verdict on Chelsea’s Carabao Cup final defeat. But the way they wilted in extra time at Wembley raised questions about Mauricio Pochettino’s management of the resources at his disposal. Klopp’s organisation of a severely-depleted squad was masterful, and given the circumstances I rate Liverpool’s win as his greatest achievement because the odds were stacked against him. But the way Chelsea froze, after looking the likelier winners in the last 15 minutes of normal time, was alarming. I wouldn’t point the finger solely at Chelsea’s players, whose average age at Wembley was similar to Liverpool’s.
