Pochettino: Tottenham too big a club to prioritise EFL Cup

[not_tenth-again]

Are we too big.... or do we just not have enough depth for these 'lower tier' cups? Other top 4 clubs seem to manage and truly I think we should be able to as well.

In terms of what I'd like to win it goes champions league then premier league then fa cup then league cup. I agree it's number four on my list but we shouldn't write it off, partly because Real Madrid and Barcelona are also prioritizing the champions league. I also think a team that's part youth team part first team will be better than anything Barnsley can put out so maybe we're worrying about nothing.

What about blackburn poch

Foreign managers and even players don't see the value of domestic cups.
Their reward is a trophy the rest of world football don't know about and a place in the 2nd tier of European football.

The goal in the 21st century is to play on the biggest stage. To some, playing in the champions league every year is far more important than winning a 2nd or 3rd rate cup once a decade.

And those people greatly outnumber those that disagree. (I'm talking players and managers, not You, you don't count)

say what you want about Jose, he deliver trophies, big and small.

last year, with a terrible and off form Man U, he delivered 3.

The word 'Carabao' is a bit too 'Jonstone's Paint'-ish for my liking.

4 trophies we could possibly win, 1 a very long shot, another very tricky especially this year being at Wembley and the other 2 aren't good enough...

Even if he thinks it does he have to say it?

I don't think he has been at his PR best the past few days.

He's probably frustrated at this media Wembley hoodoo ballocks. I agree though, think it but don't say it.

say what you want about Jose, he deliver buys trophies, big and small. With some of thw worlds biggest and most successful clubs of the modern era.

last year, with a terrible and off form Man U, he delivered 3.

And finished 6th in the league - he took a risk and it paid off, that doesn't mean the same will happen for us.

I seriously don't see the issue when you have a squad of 24/25 very capable and skilled players of fighting for 4 competitions. To be fair it's only ever 4 competitions in January/February because the FA Cup starts for us in January and by end of February the League Cup is over.

Either way you're never playing more than 3 games in a week at the busiest period which with appropriate rotation should be manageable.

Last night we put out a weakened team and came away with a not so comfortable win. No reason we can't continue to do that and progress
