I disagree with this. We've been knocked out early in the League and FA cups the last 2 years as well and it had no long term impact in this regard. It likely helped us last year in the run in.
I'd go as far to say as we should not make a serious attempt to win the League Cup. Just play u23 teams.
But we weren't missing the only trusted source of goals in the team and losing players to injury by the week. I just think this season might not be it for us
Yeah I’m not referring to being knocked out of these cups as the problem. The lack of scoring and injuries on top of it is going to have an impact. The last two seasons we didn’t have those same issues. Havertz, Martenelli, and Trossard already look to have no confidence.
