Chin238@alien.topBtoGeneral Discussion@soccer.forum•This is something that blew my mind, why are all leading scorers off Teams (club and National Team) all from the new era? Why is there no leading scorer who played in the 70s?English

1 year agoMore games in the modern era plus defending was a lot more physical then making it harder to score. Now days defenders can hardly touch an attacking player without giving a foul away and you get a pen for breathing on someone too hard. The pitches were also well worse making it more difficult to score.
Disagree, it’s a competition English clubs use to play younger academy players. English clubs a more reluctant to play them in the league because of the finances on offer. League Cup allows young british players the chance to impress in senior football. Without it you’d only really have the FA CUP but teams tend to play more first teamers in it depending on the draw as its more prestigious. Plus it’s good for lower league teams to get extra revenue in.
