During the League Cup final against Liverpool (0-0, 10-11 tab) on Sunday, Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel decided to bring in goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, in place of Edouard Mendy, for the session shots on goal. A losing choice with no stoppage for the Spaniard, who even missed his attempt to seal the defeat of his family. A decision by the German castigated by Jamie Redknapp.
“I don’t like it, it’s a shitty idea. It’s an example of Tuchel being too smart for his own good. He just complicated things. How can you say they wouldn’t have didn’t win if Mendy had been in the cage? That’s nonsense, that’s nonsense, Kepa didn’t even come close to saving a penalty. Mendy is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and you do entering Kepa instead is ridiculous,” the Sky Sports consultant lamented.
