We can argue about Prem standings, or the CL, but lets not waste our time on the FA or (spare me) the Carabao cup, as though either team really gives a shit about those anymore. The Carabao's been tin pot since I can remember and the FA Cup's becoming less and less prestigious every year. It still matters for teams in lower leagues or lower down in the Prem but no one's gonna tell me any of the big 6 consider it anything other than a consolation prize now. Criticise Klopp for fielding a weakened side if you like, but show me a big 6 manager in the last 10 years who hasn't done the same. And let's do everyone a favour and just act like the Carabao isn't even a thing now, if it ever was.
