Don't think we should underestimate the psychological importance of winning the League Cup in the last two seasons. It gave everyone a taste of winning last season and has already given players a boost this season, including youngsters. Winning trophies, be it the League Cup or Charity Shield, breeds a winning mentality, which other teams do not have, and by dint of us winning these 'minor' competitions, we automatically deny other teams the opportunity for them to develop their own winning mentality. Look how it has played on the minds of Spurs and Liverpool, for example, in recent seasons. If either of those sides wins the Champions League, however, then we may be forced to change tack and apply a different strategy. Liverpool will invest massively again this summer and continue to push us.
