We’re a Grealish injury away from those dark days mate. Don’t underestimate the galacticos of Leeds and Burnley and Real Sunderland!

Are you honestly comparing Wigan with Everton?
I said possibly Europe. Don't blame me if our fellow forumers are full of Davek levels of doom.

You’ve spelt drivel wrong mate
Unless you can win the title or relegation is a very possible risk, then it should always be going all out to win something
We are clearly not title contenders and I dont believe relegation is a realistic threat, so Moyes got the priorities all wrong on Tuesday.
Mid table clubs losing cup ties with reserve sides has to be one of the daftest things about modern football. I wish the media would start openly questioning managers on this bizarre trend.

Prioritise?
There isn't a massive amount of extra games in the two cups.
Hell for leather in all comps.

Not necessary to have priorities. We could have had a decent cup run and maintained reasonable league form.
Getting to a final is what I would have liked. We would need some luck on the way but you have a punchers chance in a one-off match. The League Cup is the weaker of the two cup competitions and we've shot ourselves in the foot in a year where we might have been able to get near enough to something to make it interesting.

Improve week on week. Be a definitively better team on May 1st than we are today.
As much as id love one of the cups ,true measured success would be to qualify for Europe through league placing.
If your priority is anything other than trying everything possible to win the next game, then you are doing it wrong.
Proper clubs have that mentality even when their squad isn't as good as other years.

What!! Are you suggesting we now shouldn't win a cup because we may be the next Wigan. Jeez, I've heard it all now! In any case Wigan were a totally different situation, we are coming out of financial troubles in good shape and a cup run won't liquidate us....
Players should be able to manage PL and a cup run without going into total physical meltdown....
So you think the cup win contributed to both their relegation and the poor long term health of that club? Not sure I agree, think there were wider off field factors about the club ownership.
But assuming you are correct do you expect the same for Palace and Newcastle? And if not, why? Do you think West Ham are struggling now because of their Europa win or is it more to do with off pitch issues?
What level would Everton need to be at for you to be comfortable with a cup run? Not meaning to have a go, just genuinely curious on the logic.

Oh jeez, stuff the league cup and stop this pretence that anyone cares.
I'd like to have done both, personally.
