Because many fans and sections of the club, seem to think that we are above the cups and it is our god given right to be the champions league.We don't have a winning mentality because we haven't won anything with this group of players. We won't get that winning mentality if we don't try to win cups when they are there to be won.
Success breeds success and right now we do not have a philosophy in place to create that winning environment. Our philosophy is focused on qualifying for the Champions League not as champions but as the third or fourth best team in England.
Man City used the FA Cup as their springboard to the title. JM won the League Cup to get Chelsea into the habit of winning again. AF took the League Cup serious in years when the title was beyond Man United. Continental clubs have won the UEFA/EC to create a foundation for future success. Athletico Madrid and Porto for example.
Why are we as a club above winning the League Cup or the Europa Cup? How will we become a winning club if we don't actually win anything?
The unrealistic aims of a lot of the fans are just as harmful as anything else.
Blame the EUFA cup when we lose to Norwich.
Fuck me, are people gonna blame the CL when we play on Wednesday and Saturday.
Fucking piss poor attitude to cups by fans, players and the club.
