[QUOTE="Philby, post: 7039652, member: 1802"] I think, fundamentally, we all agree on this for the most part. Clearly the FA Cup & League Cup are 3rd and 4th priorities below the PL and CL. It's I don't think anyone truly is tbh. Disagree. They're for any club who is capable of winning them. Always have been. When players look back on their career the piece of metal will be a reminder of the good times, the memories, the achievements. Just because many will have won bigger comps doesn't mean the domestic cups are of no value. You could end up being right in relation to Liverpool, if they run out of steam in Paris. But as Carmona said, you don't toss the domestic cups in the early Spring on the chance that you might benefit from putting our feet up in April & May. Chelsea? Less so IMHO. They've had nothing significant to play for in the CL/PL for a while. This would've crowned their season and given them a positive ending at a time when there's a lot of uncertainty & negativity around the club. But you play the cards you're dealt and if you get to the business end of a comp you do what you can to win it. Saturday was a big deal for plenty of players on the Liverpool side. - Diaz: MOTM in a winning FA cup final, just a few months after joining - Tsimikas: Slotted the winnning penalty under major pressure - Konate: Commanding performance (with & without VVD) against some quality attackers - Trent: Worked himself into the ground and, at the age of only 23, has a clean sweep of the honours at club level (...lower tier european comps excluded) - Thiago: His first trophy won at the club where he played in the decisive game. He was in bits at having to pull out of the League Cup final - Caoimhin: Sure, he didn't make it on to the pitch - but he played his part in the earlier rounds & it's another Irishman with a medal - Alisson: Another positive penalty shoot-out outcome. Who knows, if the CL final goes to penalties this win might stand to him - Milner: Wouldn't have been my choice as sub, but he did really well. Will likely be his final, or one of his last, contribution in a Liverpool shirt and he can be proud of how he did Winning CLs and PLs are a rare occurence. You have to savour the domestic cup wins when they come along too. [/QUOTE]
