I've got to say that both Liverpool and Chelsea beaten in the fourth round of the League Cup tonight don't seem to treat this competition serious enough. I think that they veiw it as an opportunity to give some players a competitive 'run out'.
With more profitable competitions to play for is this the right way to treat the competition.?

maybe u are right as their focus is on champion league and league title as they are tied at the moment at the top. i cannot say that liverpool took the competition lightly as they are playing away to spurs who are currently in good form but i think chelsea definitely is as there is no way i can imagine them losing at home to a non premier league team. what else can explain their defeat apart from their complacency

I see that Lampard was on the sitting on the ground with his head in his hands 'was he crying' ? so he seemed not to take the defeat lightly, but you could be spot on with the complacency idea ??????

i dun think lampard can take it lightly. he is always serious in his games but for other players, i am not sure. but what else can explain their defeat when they have almost all international players on the field. if that is not complacency, then i do not know what is. haha. but i do not like it that they go out so early cos they will not be tied down with that many games and i rather they goes out in the semi final.

yep, your are right livepool and chelsea are out. i don't think they took it light. it was more of a good performance from spurs and its was unfortunate that liverpool had a bad day on the field. well, i was surprising to see top two teams in epl crashing out.
