When should you take criticism seriously and when you should just ignore it? This has been on my mind since the Carabao Cup final – Liverpool’s victorious teenagers against the “billion-pound bottle jobs” of Chelsea.
I found myself questioning Gary Neville’s planned line pretty soon after the final whistle. This Chelsea team are also young. You can cost £100m and still be young. Moving halfway across the world as a youngster may be more difficult than coming into the first team from within the stability of an academy. The Liverpool kids had some adults alongside them to shepherd them through the game.
