      ‘Thank God there was no VAR’ – Chelsea escape penalty after ‘reckless’ Disasi forces Boro star off in FIRST MINUTE

      by

      CHELSEA fans rejoiced there was no VAR as they escaped an early penalty scare at Middlesbrough.There was less than a minute on the clock in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg when the Blues were almost made to pay for Levi Colwill’s error.

      His loose touch enabled Emmanuel Latte Lath to race into the box with the ball.
      And as he got his tame shot away, Axel Disasi came flying across with a reckless sliding tackle – just hours after Mauricio Pochettino told his players to be more aggressive.
      Disasi got none of the ball and clattered into the Boro striker, who needed treatment and limped off a few minutes later, replaced by butcher’s son Josh Coburn.
      But Chelsea supporters watching the clash at the Riverside on TV were relieved to see the referee not give the spot kick.

      And due to their opponents being in the Championship, there is no VAR for the Carabao Cup semis to “maintain fairness”.
      Therefore, there was no one at Stockley Park to tell the official to watch a replay on a pitchside monitor and overturn his decision.
      One fan said: “Thank God there was no VAR.”
      Another wrote: “Reckless challenge tbh.”

      A third added: “Second replay showed that Disasi did not get the ball, but actually tackled Latte Lath.”
      A fourth joked: “Referees forgetting to blow their whistle because they are too used to VAR doing their jobs now.”
      And a final user quipped: “Fair play to Chelsea, they know the referees are useless enough on their own so as soon as there’s no VAR they’re fouling everyone.”
      However, not everyone was in agreement that the last-ditch tackle by Disasi was a foul.
      One replied: “It was never a pen.”
      And another agreed: “Fans crying for a penalty – it was never a penalty and VAR wouldn’t have helped overturn that decision.”
      Middlesbrough gaffer Michael Carrick – who was already without 12 players through injury before kick-off – could not believe his luck when Alex Bangura also had to be substituted inside 20 minutes, taking the tally to 14 crocked men.
      Cole Palmer missed a gilt-edged chance to fire Chelsea in front but grabbed his low shot wide.
      And Boro fans forgot about their penalty appeals ten minutes before the break when Hayden Hackney tucked in the opener, sparking bedlam at the Riverside.
      Palmer put another simple effort over and saw a third well saved by Tom Glover.

      And those misses proved crucial as Boro held on for a 1-0 win to take to Stamford Bridge in a fortnight’s time.

      Mauricio Pochettino tells Chelsea to be more aggressive ahead of Carabao Cup semi-final but stats tell different story

      by

      MAURICIO POCHETTINO has told his players to toughen up to become winners.Chelsea’s boss admits his young team lacks aggression as he tries to build a new trophy-winning dynasty.

      Blues visit Middlesbrough tonight for the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, three days after Poch rapped them for being too soft in the FA Cup against Championship Preston.
      He said: “The most important thing is to not only say or think we are going to win it but to show it through actions and performance.
      “It is important to be aggressive when we can be aggressive.
      “When you have a young team in your hands, sometimes a first half like Preston is to be used and to realise that it is about keeping  possession and being aggressive with it when you arrive in the box.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      “But sometimes we are confused and we were talking  about what we need to improve on if we want to be a more consistent team this season.”
      Pochettino is 180 minutes from reaching a Wembley final in his first season as Chelsea head coach – but it took his £1billion squad almost an hour to break down  Preston on Saturday.
      The Blues eventually swept aside North End with four goals in 27 minutes. 
      But they face a tougher fight this evening with no VAR to scrutinise decisions.

      A meeting was called before training yesterday in which Pochettino ironed out his demands.
      He said: “I told the players if you think we are going to win then in the first few minutes you need to show it and we didn’t show.
      “We weren’t aggressive enough, then we lost the ball in one action and conceded a chance.
      “We need to match their desire and energy. It is going to be tough.
      “Watching the game against Aston Villa, Middlesbrough lost but could have won the game. It’s a good team with good ideas.”
      Chelsea have certainly shown some aggression in the Premier League, as they are top for most cards shown this season.
      Stamford Bridge chief Poch is taking inspiration from managerial titan and current Real Madrid gaffer Carlo Ancelotti for mixing his Mr Nice Guy personality with being a demanding boss.

      Pochettino said: “How you are as a coach is what matters.

      “You translate your stamina, you are aggressive during training sessions. Aggressive in the way you approach players in the meetings.
      “Carlo Ancelotti said clubs pay him to take decisions as a coach. But when the players become upset it is with the coach not with Carlo. He has to be tough because he wants to win.” More

      Liverpool vs Fulham – Carabao Cup semi-final: Klopp’s Reds host Cottagers as they look to secure spot in Wembley final

      by

      LIVERPOOL host Fulham on Wednesday night in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.Jurgen Klopp’s men are trying to avoid an upset against the Cottagers, with the last fixture between the two sides resulting in a Liverpool comeback, scoring two goals in a minute to win 4-3.

      After the Reds beat Arsenal 2-0 in the FA Cup and secured their place in the fourth round, their attention has now turned to the Carabao Cup.
      Liverpool and Fulham will play in a mandatory two-legged tie in order to decide who will play in the final at Wembley.
      The winner will go on to face either Middlesbrough or Chelsea on Sunday, February 25th 2024.
      The Reds are hoping to extend their record amount of EFL Cups as they seek a record-breaking tenth title.
      READ MORE IN LIVERPOOL
      What is their form like?
      Top of the table Liverpool are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions, while Fulham have won their last two matches, which includes their win against title-challengers Arsenal.
      Fulham have the fifth leakiest defence in the Premier League, conceding 35 goals.
      That will make good reading for Jurgen Klopp and his team, as the Reds are the third-highest goalscorers with 43 goals.
      Liverpool have won 13 games in the top flight this campaign, which is the most wins by any side other, apart from Aston Villa.
      Most read in Football
      What is the team news?
      The Reds will be without Andrew Robertson, Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Dominik Szoboszlai, Kostas Tsimikas and Stefan Bajcetic as they have injuries.
      Virgil van Dijk is expected to be back after missing the Arsenal game last time out due to illness.
      Liverpool will be missing their top scorer Mohamed Salah and midfielder Wataru Endo for their upcoming semi-final due to the duo participating in Afcon and the AFC Asian Cup respectively.
      The Cottagers will be without Adama Traore as he continues to recover from a thigh injury.
      Tim Ream will also be unavailable for the trip to Anfield due to an ongoing calf problem.
      Fulham will definitely be without Calvin Bassey, Fode Ballo-Toure and Alex Iwobi due to commitments to Afcon.
      Who will be the star men?
      Influential Mo Salah will be hugely missed by the Reds but a player that may step up to the plate is Darwin Nunez.
      Darwin Nunez will be a player to look out for with the forward scoring five goals and assisting six times in the league so far this season.
      The Uruguayan netted once in the Carabao Cup in Liverpool’s 1-2 win against Bournemouth in the round of 16.

      Marco Silva striker concerns may have eased after the summer departure of Alexandra Mitrovic with Raul Jimenez returning to form.
      The Mexican has scored four goals in Fulham’s last five matches but the forward is yet to find the net in the Carabao Cup.

      Liverpool vs Fulham preview
      There should be a bit of confidence and belief in both sides heading into this first leg.
      Liverpool continued their fine form which has saw them catapult to the top of the Premier League table, when beating Arsenal in the FA Cup on Sunday.
      They probably rode their luck at times but Jurgen Klopp’s men winning 2-0 showed a different side to them, particular as they navigate without Mo Salah this month.
      They’re clearly the strong favourites to win this tie and must surely be confident of winning the trophy itself.
      Fulham came through in penalties against Everton in the previous round and have recorded back-to-back wins coming into this one.
      The win over Arsenal was followed by a 1-0 victory over Championship side Rotherham in the FA Cup over the weekend.
      The odds suggest they have their work cut out here though….

      Odds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.
      Liverpool vs Fulham betting tips
      Diogo Jota looks sure to be involved here and is a very generous price to make his mark.
      Despite that generosity, we’ve still sought even more value and reckon he could get at least a double here.
      He’s been unfortunate not to get more game time since his return from injury and can stake his claim to Klopp here.

      Joao Palhinha is a popular name in these write-ups – especially against the big teams who’ll dominate possession.
      The midfielder is being watched by some big clubs this month and is a huge player for the visitors here.
      But he’s prone to a foul or two (or a few….) and one either side of the break will do for us.

      Joao Palhinha foul in each half at 13/10 – CLAIM HERE

      Cody Gakpo’s time at Liverpool has been a frustration, particularly after a promising start.
      He’s another that has had to bide his time, with a game like this potentially a game-changer for his Reds future.

      Why is VAR not in use for Carabao Cup semi-final matches?

      by

      THE first legs of the Carabao Cup semi-finals will take place this week.Ties will see Middlesbrough host Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea at the Riverside Stadium while Fulham travel to Anfield to face Liverpool.

      Jurgen Klopp’s men are favourites to win the trophy and extend their record amount of EFL Cups to ten.
      Championship side Middlesbrough will be hoping to prove doubters wrong by producing an upset against Premier League Chelsea and book their place in the Carabao Cup final.
      Boro’s last major trophy was the 2004 Carling Cup when Gareth Southgate was captain.
      Five-time winners Chelsea will be hoping to end their nine-year wait for an EFL trophy.
      READ MORE IN CARABAO CUP
      Fulham have never won a major trophy in their 145-year history with the closest they’ve come was under Roy Hodgson in 2010 reaching the Europa League final.
      In recent years, VAR has been heavily used in the competition.
      However, in this season’s Carabao Cup semi-final ties, VAR will not be in use – and SunSport has the reason why.
      Why is VAR not in use for Carabao Cup semi-final matches?
      VAR will not be available in Carabao Cup semi-final matches due to Middlesbrough not having the necessary technology at their Riverside Stadium.
      Most read in Football
      The other semi-final tie between Liverpool and Fulham will not be played with VAR as well.
      Fans have been left bemused by the decision due to Anfield and Craven Cottage both being available to have the technology in use.
      A decision was made not to use the technology in order to “maintain fairness and consistency” within the cup competition.
      What have the EFL said about no VAR in Carabao Cup semi-final matches?
      A spokesperson for the EFL said: “There will be no VAR used in the semi-finals because it was not possible for the technology to be used at Middlesbrough.
      “It was decided it was fairer to not use it in any of the four semi-final games as a result.
      “The FA took a different approach (with the FA Cup) but we felt this was the way to go.
      “If it couldn’t be used in one of the games, it won’t be used in any of the four semi-final legs.
      “However, VAR will be used for the final regardless of who is playing in it as the technology is already installed at Wembley.” More

      Carabao Cup confirm major rule change to ‘maintain fairness’ in semi-finals as fans want same rule in FA Cup

      VAR will not be used in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, it has been confirmed.The technology is not used at any stage of the competition before the semi-finals because it is only installed at Premier League stadiums.

      Since VAR became a regular feature in 2019, it has been utilised by the final four teams across two legs.
      However, it has been scrapped for the semi-finals this year to “maintain fairness”.
      Championship side Middlesbrough do not have VAR installed at the Riverside Stadium, so the EFL have deemed it unfair to use the technology at other games.
      Boro face Chelsea at home on Tuesday, while Liverpool host Fulham at Anfield.

      Different rules are used in the FA Cup, meaning select games in every round have access to VAR.
      Many fans believe this is unfair and that the rules should be the same in both competitions.
      Reacting to the change in this year’s Carabao Cup, one person tweeted: “There should never have been VAR for any Carabao or FA Cup games. That is what would maintain fairness.
      “If you can’t implement it at all grounds or matches, don’t utilise it at all!”

      Another wrote: “Managers, players and fans will be happy with this decision, which is a sad but accurate indictment of VAR.”
      A third added: “Fairness would be having it in no rounds at all. Not randomly bringing it in at the semi final stage.”
      While a fourth questioned: “Why don’t they do this in the FA Cup then?”

      Middlesbrough vs Chelsea – Carabao Cup semi-final preview: Blues face Boro with Wembley in sight – stream, TV, team news

      CHELSEA hop from one cup competition to the next as they prepare to do battle with Championship side Middlesbrough in their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.Goals from Armando Borja, Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling and Enzo Fernandez saw the Blues comfortably cruise past Preston in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

      And Mauricio Pochettino’s men will be expected to pull off a similar result against a Middlesbrough side who were beaten at home by high-flying Aston Villa on the same night.
      However, its never a foregone conclusion in football, especially when it comes to a cup tie plus Chelsea’s inconsistency this season will give the Born a glimmer of hope.
      But the Championship have lost NINE consecutive matches against the Blues with the most recent encounter happening as recent as 2022.
      When is Middlesbrough vs Chelsea

      Chelsea’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Middlesbrough will take place on Tuesday, January 9.
      It is scheduled to get underway at 8pm GMT.
      Riverside Stadium is the allocated arena for this exciting fixture and it can host approximately 34,742 fans.
      Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech sent Middlesbrough crashing out of the FA Cup when the sides last met in a quarter-final tie.

      But the Boro boss got to finally see the return of Hayden Hackney and Emmanuel Latte Lath in the FA Cup third round tie, while Matt Crooks was an unused substitute.
      Elsewhere, Mauricio Pochettino delivered some damning news that Christopher Nkunku has suffered a hip injury shortly after returning from his long-term knee issue.

      Captaincy options for Gameweek 19: Liverpool & Chelsea assets top the bill

      by

      TRUTH be told, the captaincy conversation has often been a simple and short one for plenty of Dream Team managers.Erling Haaland (£7.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£6.5m) have been worthy default options but the landscape has changed with Manchester City’s No9 sidelined and Liverpool’s top scorer off to the Africa Cup of Nations.
      Gameweek 19 is also a unique one as it features the FA Cup third round, a set of fixtures that usually prompts extensive rotation.
      Granted, Haaland may return against Huddersfield but, at this stage, his minutes are not certain by any stretch of the imagination.
      Deciding who to captain could be a real head-scratcher but gaffers have potentially been gifted a helping hand by the Carabao Cup semi-finals in midweek.

      Gameweek 19’s superhero-in-waiting?Credit: AP
      With that in mind, let’s run through the most prominent candidates.
      Trent Alexander-Arnold (£6m)
      Instinctively, Arsenal v Liverpool looks like a fixture to swerve as it’s among the most-competitive FA Cup match-ups and one that may well be contested between two second-string outfits.
      That being said, it would be a surprise if the Reds’ No66 didn’t feature in some capacity, especially as Jurgen Klopp has a few absentees in defence right now.
      Most read in Football
      Not that Alexander-Arnold spends much time at right-back these days, he’s essentially a midfielder in his current role.
      Liverpool are then set to host Fulham in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
      Alexander-Arnold will surely start at least one of his Gameweek 19 fixtures while playing some role in the other – it wouldn’t be a surprise if he started both.
      With Salah on international duty, the England international is arguably Liverpool’s most-important player and the simple fact is he averages 6.7 points-per-game this season.
      The 25-year-old has registered ten assists in all competitions and no defender has created more big chances.
      Many Dream Team bosses will be reluctant to captain a defender but Alexander-Arnold is a different breed.
      Alternatively, look up top at Darwin Nunez (£4.1m), who is second behind Salah among Liverpool’s squad in terms of goal involvements.
      Cole Palmer (£3.4m)
      A popular man this weekCredit: Dream Team
      Chelsea’s in-form youngster is the most-popular recruit ahead of Gameweek 19 and there’s argument to be made that his new backers should immediately strap the armband on him.
      The Blues’ fixtures look favourable on paper in the form of Preston at home (FA Cup) followed by Middlesbrough away (Carabao Cup) – two mid-table Championship teams.
      Palmer may spend some time on the bench but he should get his fair share of minutes across the two games.
      The 21-year-old took Luton for 17 points last time out and now has eight goals and seven assists to his name.
      Only four midfielders have registered more shots on target in all competitions this campaign.
      Granted, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have blown hot and cold but Palmer averages 6.2 points-per-game in 2023/24 so the prospect of a double header against second-tier opposition has substantial potential.
      Pedro Porro (£3.5m)
      Rising up the rankingsCredit: Getty
      The midweek fixtures really do suggest Gameweek 19’s best captain plays for either Liverpool or Chelsea but some gaffers may prefer to target a single FA Cup match-up.
      Tottenham were eliminated from the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle and they don’t have European commitments – surely they should give it a good go in the FA Cup?
      Their campaign starts with a home game against Burnley on Friday night with the Clarets very much prioritising top-flight safety above everything else at present.
      Son Heung-min (£4.7m) would normally be the primary candidate among Spurs assets but he’s already joined up with South Korea ahead of the Asian Cup.
      Porro is statistically the next-best option among Ange Postecoglou’s troops having amassed 116 points – a total that puts him fourth among defenders.
      The Spanish right-back is only behind Kieran Trippier (£4.9m) and the aforementioned Alexander-Arnold in terms of assists and big chances created among players in his position and he ranks highly for bonus points as well.
      If selected to start, it’s certainly not unthinkable he could combine a clean sheet with an attacking return for a double-digit haul.

      Julian Alvarez (£4.1m)
      Worth a punt?Credit: PA
      One last suggestion as Manchester City v Huddersfield is a huge mismatch on paper.
      The Terriers are threatened by relegation in the Championship this term and so a visit to the treble-winners’ lair could be a humbling experience.
      Predicting Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up is not an easy task but only Kyle Walker (£3.1m) has played more minutes than the Argentine forward among City’s outfield assets – although that could suggest he’s due a rest.
      Read more on The Sun
      Alvarez has enjoyed himself at centre-forward lately, collecting 26 points from his last three outings.
      If he does start at home to Huddersfield then he should feast but this captaincy options comes with the risk that the World Cup winner will be on the bench watching Oscar Bobb (£1.7m) and/or Haaland have all the fun.
