Chelsea player ratings vs Liverpool - Carabao Cup final

Let's begin this Chelsea player ratings vs Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final with Dorde Petrovic (7/10) who was outstanding at keeping Liverpool at bay for most of the game. Malo Gusto (5.5/10) played well at times but most poor. Axel Disasi (5/10) was expected to repeat his Etihad heroics but failed miserably. Levi Colwill (5.5/10) looked a bit shaky but was better than Disasi. Ben Chilwell (6.5/10) showed heart and played for the batch even though, it wasn't good enough.

Among midfielders, Moises Caicedo (5.5/10) couldn't do anything apart from injuring Gravenberch. A lot was expected from Enzo Fernandez (5.5/10) but he failed to deliver. Conor Gallagher (6.5/10) created many chances and should have scored at least a goal in the second half but he was denied by the post. Raheem Sterling (5.5/10) had his goal disallowed by the VAR and afterwards, he was invisible. Nicolas Jackson (4/10) was beaten by Konate time and time again due to pace. Cole Palmer (7/10) was silent in the first half but was at his free-flowing best in the second half.

For substitutes, Christopher Nkunku (5/10) came on for Sterling in the 67th minute and was unable to create any impact in the game. Mykhailo Mudryk (4.5/10) replaced Jackson in the 90th minute and he was poor too. Noni Madueke (4.5/10) also failed to create an impact after coming on for Conor Gallagher in the 96th minute. Trevoh Chalobah (5/10) replaced Chilwell and had zero impact on the game. Mauricio Pochettino (4/10) lost the Carabao Cup final to a bunch of teenagers fielded by Jurgen Klopp, not a great outlook for his managerial stint at Chelsea.
