Liverpool-Manchester City League Cup final combined XI
By Tom Bogert
GK Joe Hart
This one’s easy. This one’s no contest. Willy Caballero probably makes the bench ahead of Simon Mignolet and Adam Bogdan in this fictional team in all honestly.
Joe Hart is the clear superior option in net, laughably better than Mignolet.
There have been a hoard of matches in recent memory for Liverpool that if the teams swapped keepers, Liverpool would’ve won. Alas, Mignolet is Liverpool’s first choice netminder, so Liverpool have dropped points solely because of the disparage between the goalies.
Huge advantage to City in this regard.
Unless Caballero continues to play in the League Cup as has been rumored. Then it gets closer to being even.
