Look in the grand scheme of things CL and CL qualification are far more important than a league cup.
Wet ham could go down and win it, what would they rather have,
I’d like to think we can win all cups and finish in the top 3 whilst having a great CL run, but it ain’t going to happen.
We have a decent squad, but it’s not capable of doing so.
We move into our new gaff next year, and like it or not, CL is much more important.
I’d like to win a trophy, of course.

It’s deja vu watching us in these supposedly lesser cups. We are of course above this, it’s not as if we haven’t won anything in a decade.
We are clearly getting complacent as we did not defend well for their first two. Hard to say about the third one.
Dembele is bringing back the steel to the team, but we really should have had Llorente presence at the end.
Its honestly speaking really embarassing, i thought i never see such collapse in our game anymore.
Foyth looks really good though.

I honestly couldn't give a shit if it means it fires us up for beating Utd
Mate. Yesterday took my two younger brothers the youngest 5 years old for the first time do Dragão for them to watch us drew 0-0 a cup game with a championship side. Today this fucking shite. Hernâni or Nkoudou who’s the worst?
Would you guys rather we play another pointless 30 extra minutes and risk injury/fatigue to our players when we've got FA and CL this season? I'm not saying don't be mad at the loss but certainly don't lose sleep. If anything hopefully this wakes up the player for Saturday.
Outplayed? Moment of class that wins it?
Nah.
We were OUTFOUGHT, by West fucking Ham. A team that not even a week ago got smashed at home against Brighton ffs.
Dele Alli, Toby Alderweireld, Kieran Trippier, Son Heung Min - these all started and smashed Liverpool. Then we also have the experience of Llorente. The best left back in the country in Danny Rose. We weren't playing youth players, fuck we didn't even have one youth player in the squad (Besides KWP who's played first team football) and they BULLIED us in that second half.
We better have something up our sleeve on Saturday.

This is worse. We weren't 2-0 up in that one. 1 more round and then it's the semi. Just played like we didn't care second half. I'm really fucked off. This was a great chance to win something
I'd rather have Rose not fit for the rest of his career, that fat traitor.
People saying they wouldn't have Bale back in the other thread fucking ell
Terrible ball watching for their equaliser though
Weird kind of caring. With fans like you no wonder losing is irrelevant. You laugh it off if you like.
I will wallow in rage thank you very much.
The players by performing the way they did in the second half - as well as half the people in this thread.
It was a strong line up and one that I'd expect to compete with Man Utd if we put the same line up out on Saturday, in a competition that the players respect and fight for.
The point of neglecting this shit cup has been stated recently - it's only seen as worthy if United or the like win it. Won it in 08 and it did fuck all, still lost players, still sacked a manager, still got laughed down about having won a trophy. That's generally how it goes regardless of who wins it, again, unless it's United's ilk.
Like it or not, it's now truly a tinpot that does nothing for the club, players, or managers. Only the supporters get anything out of it, and that's only until they tell a mate who will immediately take the piss out of them for bragging about it.
Fold the cup, take the PL teams out, whatever is needed - but it's truly just a calendar constipating clogger at this point.
It's not a hoodoo... It's us thinking a game lasts 45 minutes, not the full 90...4
Bollocks to it. We are put down worst enemy sometimes...
But when you think how ill-deserved ArseaNal and Man Citys wins were last night... makes you wonder why we even bothered turning up.
Tonight hurts. But Forget it. We've GOT TO bounce back on Saturday and prove tonight was a blip that WON'T SUDDENLY derail our season.. . As most of the media seem to now be hoping it does!
Fuck em all!
