I think people should live in the real world and look at the long term success of the club as opposed to being a short sighted magpie fun who just wants something shiny. Winning a league cup is nice, but it doesn't necessarily breed success as birmingham has shown, and Portsmouth too with the FA cup. Finishing fourth is far more important, not just for finance, but for showing the world liverpool are one of the big boys again, keeping players like suarez happy, and making ourselves an attractive option for top players again, so we don't have to tempt them with more money. That is fairly obvious.

Will Liverpool Football Club be able to attract big name footballers if we win the League 6 time in the next 10 years and don't qualify for the Champions League? Don't get me wrong, I want LFC to win as many trophies as possible but there needs to be priorities. With the stage of where LFC is at the moment, it's important for us to be able to attract the best footballers available and those best footballers want to play in the biggest club tournament in the world (IMO), the Champions League. As we aren't playing European football at the moment, I believe we now have a squad big enough to be able to strongly compete in all domestic cups and qualify for the CL so none of the competitions we are playing in should be taken lightly. I say we play our best team available given the opposition we are playing that allows to get the positive results we need! I would be very disappointed if we didn't qualify for the CL or win at least one domestic cup this season because we finally ahve the depth to achieve that.
