The great Liverpool sides of the 80's used to win the Carling cup (or league cup then) every year but it was seen then (as now) as an appetiser. Yes of course I would like us to win the Carl;ing cup and have a day at wembley. But make no mistake if we don't get fouth this year (carling cup or not) then this season will have been an unmitigated disaster. wrong it would not be a unmitigated disaster not finishing 4th what would be an unmitigated disaster is 6 years without a trophy and gerrard is 100% correct "LETS WIN THE CARLING CUP" sorry but your wrong faz if gerrard was asked the question of what 1 was more important without a shadow of a doubt he would pick 4th. hes hardly gonna come out and say lets not win the carling cup, the statement means very little our priority is still 4th and to a lesser extent the fa cup..then that other cup

Why does fourth place have to be mentioned every time the carling cup pops up?
Winning this cup only takes 4-5 games so why the hell not? Whether we make the top 4 or not, this competition is not going to distract us that much from focusing on the league. We can win both the Carling cup and finish fourth and maybe even win the FA cup too. But snake you don't understand how this works its a mindgame being played by Faz where 4th place is played against the Carling cup. Ask Faz to explain it to you its over my head.

I never did understand those who feel winning the Carling Cup means we intend to sacrifice 4th. The conclusions to these competitions are months apart, and the Cup is only a handful of games spread out over several months. SG is simply focussed on the competition in which his next competitive game falls, in this case the Cup. Which is more important is irrelevant because every competition is important in different ways, and none are unimportant.

I think the question of whats more important always pops up because over the years we have always prioritised finishing fourth over winning one of the domestic Cups due mainly to the manager we had at the time, The Spanish one. I do think the really big and powerful Clubs like United, City and Chelsea might have a case for putting Champions League success ahead of domestic success but definately not Clubs clubs who dont taste silverware like Ourselves, Spurs, Everton, Villa, Stoke's and Newcastle's of this world and have not done for years, silveraware is far more important even though it's not a Premier League or Champions League where we dont have a hope in hell's chance of ever winning.
I think if we are not careful we could easily turn into 10 seasons without a trophy as it will be 6 at the end of the season, this can snowball into 15 like Everton and then you get into Man City before last season's F.A.Cup win which was well over 25 seasons, they all thought like we did that it would'nt be that long too remember. We need to put a trophy in the cabinet as soon as possible and us not playing at Wembley yet is a disgraceful record considering some of the Clubs which have already been, nobody remembers runners up and losers in football only trophy winners. yeah man united went 30 something years without winning the prem too did nt they, at least we have nt gone as far as the scum. Mark my words Liverpool will go alot, lot longer than United did without winning the league.
