Maybe my glass is just half full,I saw lots of games were we got results when we didn't have much control of the play. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed we don't get any long-term injuries to our better players.

Bollocks this gents.
You're regurgitating tired cliches.
This is Everton. We've not won a trophy in nearly 28 years. We're not going to achieve anything of significance in the league this season. To say we can't, or shouldn't bother with a domestic cup is ridiculous.
"But, but, but - fatigue/fitness/squad size"
Go and check Everton's results/fixture list.
Tuesday. QPR.
Then...
Saturday 25th September Everton v Norwich
Saturday 2nd October Man Utd v Everton
Sunday 17th October Everton v West Ham
Saturday 23rd October Everton v Watford
Not having we needed to rest Doucoure, Allan and Gray at this stage of the season and with that fixture list coming up.
Benitez made his decision to dismiss the domestic cup and for me it's arrogant and the majority of fans (as per survey that I shared from previous years), also disagree.
Yes. We had a PL squad to choose from.
Begovic
Holgate
Keane
Godfrey
Digne
Doucoure
Allan
Townsend
Iwobi
Gray
Gordon
That's how we could have lined up and that lineup has no excuse to not beat QPR.
No professional cares, manager or footballer. It’s a job that they do the best of their ability.
But both Allardyce and the current are cut from the same cloth. I have no time for either of them
I'm sorry, but if you're an Everton fan going to an away game in the Carabao Cup on a Tuesday night, experience should tell you what to expect.
It's not a losing mentality, it's being logical. Why would you waste time/effort/risk of injury with the extra games for a pisspot of a trophy?
I know that’s my point; that was the game plan due to the nature of the team we have. The setup was adapted to suit what was on offer. We couldn’t cut through teams at will so another way was found.

I still can't believe benitez didn't spot that blatant hansen handball in 84 the rat.
That line up doesn't have a striker. And who plays against Norwich on Saturday?
That is what I said.
Winning that trophy would be Everton's best achievement since 1995.

Same team. Run them into the ground and suffer for it in the league. Relegation doesn't matter as long as we get knocked out the league cup in the quarter finals against City anyway.
(Up until last night I was confident he'd deliver a cup in his tenure, I still am)

No manager would, except for the stage managed press conference when they sign. Given the average time they last who'd blame them.
Gray or Gordon can play up front. What do you mean who plays against Norwich? Can professional players not play 2 games in one week? We've played 7 games this season not 77.
A cup is a cup, and the League Cup run of 1984 kick started the club.
