Mauricio Pochettino’s season at Chelsea began with hope but has ended with anything but. Despite having a considerably stronger squad available and on the Wembley surface, the Blues were unable to defeat an injury-ravaged Liverpool in the Carabao Cup Final. It was the latest setback for a manager who has seen his team recover from the rubble of a disappointing campaign and thread a few results together. Losing the final will be the most bitter pill, and Todd Boehly’s expression at full-time says it all. The American must also accept responsibility for the fiasco. If it weren’t for his incessant…
