Everton boss David Moyes is furious over their Carling Cup fixture pile-up.
Everton's fourth-round tie at Spurs next Tuesday will be their third game in six days after Benfica in the Europa League tomorrow and Bolton on Sunday.
And boss Moyes rapped: "I find the lack of respect really disappointing.
"It could easily have been moved, but that's the support you get for trying to put out your strongest teams in as many competitions as possible.
"If I was Carling, I would question the people running it."
