Liverpool have completed the cup double in English football this season with another win over Chelsea. This time it was the final of the FA Cup, played at Wembley on Saturday.It was an intense match which both teams approached with a clear plan on how to best tackle the opponent, and in the end, it was another contest resolved by the finest of margins.The plansThere isnt much to say about Liverpool when it comes to the way they played. Even though there was no Fabinho providing protection for the back four while Mohamed Salah was replaced after half and hour with what seemed like a groin i sue, it was Liverpool as we know it; a team striving to dominate po se sion and keep the line of battle as close to the opposition goal as po sible.On the other hand, Chelsea appeared to have taken a good look at how Tottenham Hotspur avoided defeat at Anfield a week earlier, and arranged in the same 3-4-3 system, they mostly defended, relinquishing po se sion and sought to strike on the counterattack.The exception was the third quarter of the game, the first 20 minutes of the second half, when Thomas Tuchels men tried to catch Liverpool off-guard and came out swinging after the break. The Blues had several good opportunities in that period, Tkachuk Authentic Jersey but then the Reds re-established control and pushed them back again.Chances wastedChelsea couldve won this game in regular time, as much as Liverpool at least, with Christian Pulisic, Marcos Alonso, Romelu Lukaku all coming close on several occasions. The same can be said of Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Andy Robertson, Naby Keita and Thiago Alcantara at the other end.But what needs to be stre sed as well is that both goalkeepers, Ali son Becker and Edouard Mendy, performed at the highest level and bailed their teams out several times with fantastic saves.Diaz was particularly dangerous for Liverpool, frequently getting the better of Trevoh Chalobah who was mostly left to deal with the Colombian winger on his own. Diaz mi sed the target by mere inches a few times and prompted one superb save from Mendy, but the best chance of the game fell to Robertson in the 84th minute as he latched onto an accurate cro s by substitute James Milner, but all the Liverpool left-back managed to do at a full run from a tight angle was to slam the ball into the post from three or four yards.As for Chelsea, Pulisic and Alonso had their arguably best chances, but while Alonso lost a one-on-one with Ali son and hit the cro sbar from a free-kick, the American winger pulled several low efforts from promising positions narrowly wide.So even though the game ended goalle NHL Ottawa Senators Men Jersey s after 120 minutes, it was very exciting throughout and the contest couldve swung either way.Questions for TuchelThere are a few questions to which it would be nice to hear the answers from the Chelsea bo s.Firstly, Timo Werner. The former RB Leipzig forward, who was reportedly close to joining Liverpool before he ended up at Stamford Bridge Ryan Dzingel Men Jersey and spoke highly of the Merseysiders ahead of this clash, was left on the bench and wasnt called upon at all.With his team setting up defensively for a large part of the game and hitting mostly through counterattacks, the pace of Werner, along with his knack for playing against high defensive lines, would arguably come in very useful from the start. But if Tuchel chose to go with Mount and Pulisic also good options he couldve introduced Werner late on to have a go at the tired legs of the Liverpool defence. And yet, he didnt, and its not easy to understand why.The changes the 48-year-old did make in his attacking line were eyebrow raising calls as well. With five minutes of regular time left, he pulled out Lukaku and sent on Hakim Ziyech, a change that perhaps did appear to make sense at first. Lukakus usually formidable physicality was of no avail against Virgil van Dijk or Ibrahima Konate both Liverpool centre-backs are just as big and strong, and obviously quicker than the Belgian striker. Pulisic was shifted to the central role with Ziyech on the right, though this new trio was interchangeable in that aspect.Klopp on the other hand replaced Van Dijk with Joel Matip for the extra-time, and maybe that was what prompted Tuchel to put another big man upfront. But with Lukaku now out of the picture, the only po sibility to do that was to have midfielder NHL Ottawa Senators Kids Jersey Ruben Loftus-Cheek playing out of position, so thats what Tuchel did for the last 15 minutes, withdrawing Pulisic to make way.Loftus-Cheek proved le s efficient upfront than Lukaku, and in the end, he too made way for Ro s Barkley, having spent just 13 minutes on the pitch. It was obviously a substitution with the penalty shootout in mind, and Barkley was indeed one of the succe sful takers later, but the experiment was overall a baffling one and its hard to imagine Loftus-Cheek being too happy about it.Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp and Trent Alexander-ArnoldKlopp was appointed as the Liverpool manager back in October 2015, and for the rest of that season, he had little choice but to play Alberto Moreno on the left defensive flank, while Nathaniel Clyne, excellent at the time, covered the right.At the start of the following campaign, the German tactician tried out a new idea, benching Moreno and putting midfielder James Milner into the team as the left-back. Milner was unsurprisingly good in the role, taking his already proven versatility to a new level.But as the clash against Manchester United set to take place at Old Trafford on January 15th, 2017, approached, Clyne picked up an injury and left Klopp in a dilemma. The manager couldve easily chosen to shift Milner to the right and give Moreno a chance, but instead, he chose to keep Milner on the left and call on 18-year-old Trent Alexander-Arnold to start in what is still the fiercest rivalry in England. Fast forward five years and four months, and at the age of 23, Alexander-Arnold has now completed the set of four trophies which every player in English club football dreams of the Premier League, the Champions League, the League Cup and the FA Cup. Thats not even counting the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.Not only has he won all that, but hes won it all as one of the vital players in the team, thriving the role of creativity Klopp has put on his fullbacks. At the moment, only his teammate Mo Salah has more a sists in the Premier League this season than him.The rise of Alexander-Arnold obviously coincides with Liverpools resurrection under Klopp, and its not really to be wondered at, given everything weve seen in the last five years. He has often been criticized for his defending, but the situations frequently perceived as his mistakes stem from his involvement far up the pitch, which sometimes gets his caught out of position when the opponent launches a counterattack. After all, no man Artem Anisimov Women Jersey can be in two places at once.But this match was a good example of how effective Alexander-Arnold can really be.
