Liverpool fans have been responding to the latest comments from UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin on potentially scrapping the Carabao Cup competition.
This comes after Ceferin suggested in an interview with The Times via @AnfieldWatch that it would “be better for everyone” if the competition was not played anymore in an effort to ease fixture congestion.
Should the Carabao Cup be scrapped?
Yes
No
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were keen to share their thoughts on the matter.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans responding to the post:

Why not just make it for clubs not in Europe, gives lower clubs a chance at a trophy

Nah that league cup could just be played with players u23. And if some senior player need game time after injury they could play. And problem solved.

Fellow Premier League side Manchester City have won the Carabao Cup for the past three years consecutively with their latest victory coming against Aston Villa last weekend (per BBC Sport). Now that UEFA president Ceferin has shared his opinions on seeing the competition scrapped altogether, many Liverpool fans have followed suit on Twitter by sharing their thoughts on the competition.

Apparently it was brought about in the 60s I think to raise extra income for clubs, is this extra income needed by the PL teams nowadays

Even though we’ve won it loads of times, I would love to see it gone

How about stop adding stupid tournaments to the calendar like nation leagues and then trying expand champs league and also introduce a tournament pre season as well

What do we think?
The Carabao Cup shouldn’t be scrapped as it offers more football for fans and players to enjoy and take part in but it appears that these Liverpool fans wouldn’t miss it if it was dismissed.
