Not really arsed this season, tbh. Pep made it clear yesterday that we wouldn’t be going for it, so better to go out early in that case. Will be a good learning experience for the kids, but hard to see us winning there unless Spurs play their kids too.

If you're Spurs, who haven't won anything in ages and given a lot of the top teams rest players for this competition, especially in the early rounds, you think they'd go all out to win it.
 
Bigger fish to dry this season. Rotate again and see what happens, a good test for the fringe players but not worth us expending energy on with so many bigger games and a few injuries already.

Some absolutely wank comments on here. Defeatist bollocks. Pep, as always, as he did last night, will go strong. Very strong.
Thank fuck he has the big bollocks that’s seen us win endless cups.

We're 5 weeks into the season, we've lost Bobb, Ake and Rodri to medium or long-term injuries from an already small squad. "Going strong" at the start of 4 straight away games in 10 days risks derailing our season and from Pep's comments I can't see it happening.
 
Pep never sends a team out to lose as he is too competitive for that but we have too many injuries now to be bothered about strong teams in this cup.
 
We were probably gonna have to face a decent team at some point so may aswell get it done early. Our 'weaker' team is capable of beating them anyway.
