EFL Carabao Cup 2023/2024

Nearly zero.

Still talking out of his hoop in interviews.

The objective from the start? To eventually lose in the Carabao final and finish midtable in the league?

Let's see if Boehly & Co keeps you in a job in the summer after that outcome.

Maybe but sometimes these two-legged paydays can be a life saver for smaller clubs.
It's a tough call to make.

That may very well be true, but if so then that requires a different funding solution. If the only real value of the cups to lower league teams is the revenue from games at bigger grounds, then the entire model is built on bad foundations.

Fucking hell

 

[ernie78]

Poor keeping there

 

[mark87]

Fucking hell

Or could it be the Liverpool section and Luis Suarez' family bought tickets?

Funny what happens when he actually takes one of the cup competitions seriously. Under us it was a case of, "winning the league Cup or fa Cup would mean nothing". Now its "I'm desperate to win my first trophy in England". Prick. Hope Liverpool put 5 past them.

TBF, Poch got us to a Carabo Cup final is his first season here.

Fulham are too tentative ,need to win a few tackles.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I'm assuming Liverpool will appeal the results because of the lack of RC there.... (despite not even being a foul)

 

[McFlash]

Fucking hell

Lol, looks like a KKK convention!

Yet another sh*tty boring Chelsea v Liverpool domestic final .....Once again subject to rare exceptions from the late 90s onwards in the FA Cup and League Cup yet another final with the usual suspects in there again.....(apart from the odd deviation almost a constant revolving door of Man City Man United Liverpool Chelsea and Arsenal)......

No Salah, Nunez or Szoboslai for Liverpool

Thiago Silva also not in Chelsea's squad

 

[Marty]

Liverpool XI to face Chelsea (4-3-3): Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Endo, Mac Allister; Elliot, Gakpo, Diaz.

Chelsea XI to face Liverpool (4-1-4-1): Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Chilwell; Palmer, Caicedo, Fernandez, Sterling; Gallagher; Jackson.

 

[cjbyid]

No Salah or Nunez.

Wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea sneak this

 

[Hazelton]

Poch is going to win and we'll catch strays once again.

 

[gabsyspur]

How jammy are Chelsea to be facing that Liverpool line up in a final? Disgusting!

And yet oppo fans will use trophies as a stick to beat us and many of our own get massively triggered by it, just look at some posts on here towards Levy.
Whereas, the truth is that the trophies are usually just shared around the usual suspects and while we've got to our fair share of finals, we've always fallen short.
Hopefully, that's soon to change due to the financial position we've managed to get ourselves into.

But that's the reason I never really get wound up by the whole "trophy" thing, although of course I'm desperate to win one.

 

[Guntz]

Typical that Liverpool’s team are absolutely decimated.

I can’t see anything but a Chelsea win sadly.

 

[PCozzie]

More ticketing trouble for a major(ish) cup final.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

How jammy are Chelsea to be facing that Liverpool line up in a final? Disgusting!

Didn’t we get Mourinho’s title-winning Chelsea in our first final under Poch?

Shearer on Conor Bradley: "He didn't phase away from anything."

Bradley is not Nightcrawler: CONFIRMED
