Spurs look like trash lately. Brighton & Hove had them on the ropes until a cushion goal against the run of play. Too much talent to perform like this the past few weeks.

Is it a World Cup hangover? Other sides adjusting to their style? Early season funk? Admittedly, I haven't seen any of their matches...
how many freaking cups are there now?
do teams even care about the league games or do they just focus on the 17 different extended multi-national cup tournaments they have each season?
so the english football league sold the naming rights to their annual competition to a company that makes thailand's second most popular energy drink?
Yep.
The EFL Cup (referred to historically, and colloquially, as simply the League Cup), currently known as the Carabao Cup for sponsorship reasons, is an annual knockout football competition in men's domestic English football. Organised by the English Football League (EFL), it is open to any club within the top four levels of the English football league system – 92 clubs in total – comprising the top level Premier League, and the three divisions of the English Football League's own league competition (Championship, League One and League Two).
Don't think it's a WC hangover. They seem to play like TCU football the last couple weeks where they'll be decent to solid for long stretches and can't get any payoff, but then they have a couple short spurts of cognitive flatulence that results in a couple goals conceded. The trouble is they just aren't very threatening and they have too much talent to settle for such passive offensive play.Is it a World Cup hangover? Other sides adjusting to their style?

I think they care but there’s a clear pecking order IMO:
1) champions league
2) league trophy
3) all other trophies (various opinions on which ones have more value).
