Simon Mignolet repays faith but wily Willy Caballero grabs glory

Willy Caballero’s astonishing penalty shoot-out saves will dominate the headlines but Liverpool can still take heart from their first cup final experience under Jurgen Klopp and point to the courage of their own much-maligned goalkeeper as proof the manager’s faith in them is justified.

Jurgen Klopp’s revolution won’t begin with a trophy, but make no mistake it has still begun with the encouraging performance of a team which is beginning to show the kind of unity which success is ultimately built on.

Perhaps the ulitmate quality is not yet there – we will almost certainly see money spent in the summer – but there is a heart to Liverpool now which should provide encouragement.
