It was obvious that Pep guardiola didn't want to concentrate on the carabao cup as there are bigger fish to catch and that's were Pep Guardiola attention is at. When we see Manchester city playing in the champions league and the premier league, there's a difference compared to when they play in smaller tournaments as the carabao cup. Manchester city has won this trophy many times and Pep Guardiola too has won the trophy therefore he mightn't be that interested in it anymore. Bit still Tottenham played very well and they were determined to win as they know this might be one of the only opportunity for them to win a trophy this season as other tournaments is packed with better teams.

When I watched the match scheme, seem like Manchester City wasn't serious to win the match, they fielded a second players as a starter but still used the core player to stabilize the strategy. Even it is not considered, I still watch the spirit form squad to draw the match. I admit, Tottenham was on best performer last night, they struggled to hold the win until the last minutes. But, with the narrow win, I think Tottenham still need to fix their squad, I still watch a gap when the city able to shrink behind on minutes 45. Beside that the city also lost their moment when Savinho got injured. This is become a big loss for them in the middle premier and champions league.

Although Manchester City may not take the carabao cup seriously, but Tottenham are very difficult to beat them in that match even though in fact Guardiola played a second-tier player as a starter in the match to maintain the fitness of their core players, I don't think if Guardiola will sacrifice the Champions League and the Premier League for the sake of the Carabao Cup, because with the current busy schedule of course he will prioritize the trophy more tbe prestigious for he get, even though they fielded the subs player in the match,but Manchester City were also able to play well and this shows that if the mentality and ability of the current Manchester City players are quite good, both their reserves and main players, I think Guardiola will not regret the defeat and their elimination from the Carabao Cup, but losing Savinho in the match due to injury will obviously be Guardiola main regret now.
