Wasn’t there some rumour abut clubs playing in Europe not being involved? Looks like it’s BS, shame really!
(Shame really,) would it be good to leave the previous top six out from entry to the competition?
Its already called the mickey mouse cup for a reason.

The trophy is taken seriously imo. It's always the top clubs in the semi's and the finals and the winner always celebrates with gusto.

I want us to win a trophy one way or the other. I couldn't care less if some RS helmet tried to downplay the achievement in any way, we'd have won the trophy and that would be it.

Everton has never won that trophy I don't think.
But to try and leave 6/8 prem teams out of it is something even the most diehard fans would not accept IMO.
 

*Welcome the Conference.



The new European Competition means 2 things:

1. Unless you finish top 6 you aint in the Europa League

2. The new Europa Conference League would however be made up of weaker sides which not only would give us a better chance of winning a trophy but also would then get you into the Europa League.

So basically positives and negatives.
 

This is the one trophy I’m genuinely gutted to go out of every year, it could be that we’ve never won it, it could be that it should be easier to win. Either way let’s just get to the final eh Everton without having a brain fart on the way (or having to go to Stamford Bridge!).
 



The Carabao Cup Round Two and Three draws will take place on Sunday 6 September live on Sky Sports.

Hosted by David Garrido the draws will be conducted by former Liverpool defender and 1995 EFL Cup winner Phil Babb, following the Round One Carabao Cup tie between Brentford and Wycombe Wanderers.

The Round Two draw is unseeded and will remain regionalised with northern and southern sections.

Upon its conclusion, the Round Three draw will then take place with each tie given a number in the order that they came out in the Round Two draw - they will then be subject to another unseeded draw on an either/or basis, alongside the seven Premier League Clubs competing in Europe who enter at this stage.

Having the draws conducted together will enable the EFL, Clubs and broadcasters to plan with additional clarity and certainty over a busy period of fixtures whilst supporters are unable to attend fixtures.

Joining the Carabao Cup at the Round Two stage are the 13 Premier League Clubs that are not competing in Europe in the 2020/21 season, including Everton, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers alongside Sky Bet Championship sides Bournemouth and Watford. The remaining clubs, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will join in Round Three.

Three Round One fixtures will be shown live on Sky Sports over the weekend starting with Barrow making their first appearance in the competition in 48 years with a trip to Championship side Derby County in the Saturday 12pm kick-off. Walsall v Sheffield Wednesday follows at 2:15pm with Brentford hosting Wycombe Wanderers in the Sunday 12pm fixture in their first competitive match in their new stadium.
 
The League Cup has been massively further undermined now.

I was always in favour of playing strong sides to try to win it but if it only means qualification into some micky-mouse conference and travelling to all corners of Europe, then its a big no from me.

It's no better than a reserves cup now.

On point 1:

What if City get top four and win both cups?

Does it refer to seventh place?
