Newcastle United 2-1 Liverpool: In game and Post Match discussion

Wembley hosting the League Cup Final 2024/25







Kelleher, Van Dijk, Konate, Diaz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Jota, Robertson, Gravenberch, Quansah.

Subs: Alisson, Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Elliott, Tsimikas, McConnell.

Caoimhin Kelleher starts today’s Carabao Cup final for Liverpool against Newcastle United.

The goalkeeper is named between the posts for the Reds at Wembley in one of two changes made by Arne Slot from the team deployed against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.

The other is an enforced one, with Jarell Quansah deputising for the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Strong team. Lets do this. Start strong please reds ... score early and take it to them.

No Allison….

Predictable team, only question was going to be whether Kelleher came back in for not.....total faith he'll play his part when needed.

No Allison….

League cup is Kelleher’s tournament. It’s been this way since Klopp

Full strength, apart from Ally, but Kells rarely let's us down.
 Don't leave anything out there, give 110%, next game ain't for a good while.
Barcodes will look at PSG and feel we're tired and can be rolled over.
Might be something in that, but am hoping we have the quality to get it done.
COYRs !!!!

Play your strongest team…

Best goal keeper in the world on the bench. Don't understand this in a final

Wouldn't have faffed with the goalkeeper position but it could be a carrot to try and keep Kels next season.

That Marmadashvilli been having a nightmare at Valencia from what I've read.

No Allison….

He’s a sub bro. This cup is Kelleher’s comp.

More concerned with why Nunez isn’t starting.

Just a bit concerned with starting Diaz and Jota together. Can’t remember them being great together for some time.
No problem with Kells and Quansa is over his nervy start to the season.
I just think we’ll have too much for them, but if it ain’t going great, hope Arne can tweak it when it’s needed !

Certainly need to see more energy from Jota his form doesn't warrant a start think he may have gone with Diaz if Gakpo 100%. Midfield is where this will be won or lost if we win that battle we win

I agree with Kelleher and Quansah both starting.

Diaz has been on fire lately, Slot plays players on form, when Gakpo was unplayable he always started.

We have options on the bench from the midfield onwards.

Come on Reds. Bring it home.

You're totally right but I understand the decision of Slot and previously Klopp. I never agreed with it but that is how it is.

No point getting to a final unless you win it....Top players get it done... play to our potential and we will prevail.

Diaz on fire? Missed a gilt edged chances to hit first time and send us through to the CL quarters on Tuesday. Costing us in big big games with his weak mentality. Needs to contribute today.

Let’s defend our trophy boys!

Needs to have more digs at goal instead of trying to walk it into the net. (that goes for the whole forward line)

Let's bounce back from Tuesday's defeat, to add even more silverware to the trophy cabinet.

Trust Salah, Jota & Diaz to have their shooting boots on to help win the final this afternoom.

Kelleher's won us the last 2 league cups, his inclusion here is completely justified.

Against Southampton he played so well and contributed massively for the 3 points.

He needs to improve his scoring stats.
