KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum I am fed up of LFC

I looked back at the results last week and the table was a bit different but at this point last year after the same amount of games we are actually in pretty much the same position regarding distance from the top 4. Apologies.

It shouldn't matter that we only have the league to worry about because last year in the weeks leading up to cup games were pretty much the only games we got points out of in the last 13 games last year

Everyone would rather win a cup than nothing, but if the cup runs causes a negative impact to league form, i'd rather not have that distraction (or pain).
i.e. We generally struggled at the weekend after the Thursday European match. This showed that the squad could not cope with the added distraction, and the frustration it causes is not worth the hassle (unless you win it). If we had the squad to not be affected by the distractions I would be more inclined to agree with you in regards to the cups. This is why I say that they mean little to me until we can challenge at the top.

I cup win last year was nice for a few days but that was it. In reflection of the season in truth I remember was the crap we played in the league (towards the end) and the emptiness it caused, rather than the cup games. It left a bad taste and no cup would have covered it up.

All I can say is that without Michael Owen things have gone down hill. the bump of champions league helped but Liverpool are a joke compared to other teams.

so if that's your stance on cups as in thinking they are a distraction, what are you hoping for as a club for the next say 5 seasons seeing as there's no hope of Champions League, you seriously happy with finishing maybe 6th at an outside chance in exchange for a Cup win, absolute madness...
