Hi eds,

Seen people on social media debating whether the FA should scrap 3rd and 4th place qualification for the champions league and give qualification to the winners of the league cup and fa cup.

Is that something that has been discussed by the fa before? Or is it something that uefa would decide rather than the fa?

Also what's everyones opinions on it? Would certainly see teams taking the cups more seriously but could have an impact on the league if there are only 2 places available.

{Ed002's Note - Certainly there has never been discussion about giving a place to the winners of the League Cup. In the past 20 years only on handful of occasions have the FA Cup winners not come from the top four but it has been discussed and discounted. in the past.}

If that was to happen, then Klopp would have to change his attitude towards cup games. Out of the 4 teams left in the so called Mickey mouse cup,3 are in the top 4. And we are the only team in the top 6 that is out of the FA cup. Makes yoù wonder, if our fringe players are up to it, compared to other teams.
