    Carabao Cup is least respected and he’s clearly been told they don’t care about it or he’d not have done what he done tonight - that was the exact sort of stuff you seen with us when he didn’t think games mattered, experimental with so many changes.

    FA Cup is majorly respected down there. * Listening to Linekers new podcast with Shearer and Richards - he had it above a European Trophy he’d won in the Cup Winners Cup. They adore it down there, it’s got a “magic” about it they buy into. League Cups viewed as a nuisance

    Season 1 is for doubles, Season 2 is for the trebles.

    Seriously though, this Cup that sounds like it was named after a type of moose, is the least important competition for him. His squad lacks depth- even half his starting eleven needs improving. An injury to one or both Bissouma and Maddison or one of their CB's and its down hill fast from there.

    I can see him taking the FA Cup more seriously though.

    He’ll have been told his targets for this season to stay in the job, his line up and changes, and change of formation makes it obvious that is not one. Think he’s took an opportunity to show that he can’t trust a lot of squad options and wants some quality in with the Kane money.

    FA Cup definitely will, the English put a lot on that competition, more than most countries do the cup competition.

    Remember when Ferguson took it as unimportant due to the Intertoto Cup I think it was? * lost their mind. And that was Alex * Ferguson.

    Aye the way they talk about the FA Cup makes me feel a bit sick.

    I do get it though, it is a good competition. But its never more important than the league or a European trophy.

    See on Ange was just thinking I remember him talking about linked names like Ito, Levi Garcia etc at the start of May,
    End of April and he said you are way off to them.

    He wasn’t kidding was he, he knew then he was likely for the off so wasn’t thinking of anyone for Celtic.

    Look at that Chelsea line up and tell me the bigger clubs give a * about that competition.

    I don’t care who they are playing

    Very bizarre to the extent that you would need to question his ambition possibly ?

    Spurs have not won a trophy - why on earth would he not go for it?

    Looking at their transfer activity there. Have to wonder if he's having issues with Levy already. No signed a striker yet either.

    Wish we had him for our CL group this year. Would have been some memorable nights I would have thought.

    I don't think we'd entertain selling him at this stage no matter the offer, but honestly the way Rodgers plays looks like we'll be sending a lot more crosses into the box and a bigger physical striker might actually get more joy than Kyogo, think Oh is really going to push on this season.

    Yeah I know what you’re saying, don’t like what BR is doing with Kyogo, I think it was a lazy appointment and we needed to go with style as opposed to a big name.

    I could never figure out why all the Aussies came on here when he arrived, following a manager not just a club. I’ve looked up spurs reports since he’s been there, maybe I’m as bad as them now lol.
