The eight-player format involving a quarter, semi and final every Thursday has been in place since 2022.
But Taylor is not a fan of the setup, saying: “It’s very tiring… I think they do need to look at it now.
“It needs revamping, that’s what I think. A lot of the players are not enjoying it and you can tell.”
Fans also criticised the repetitive format after last week’s final and so did legend Steve Beaton, labelling it “boring”.
He argued that seeing top players face each other regularly dampens the blockbuster feel to the match-ups.
But Taylor has been entertained by the standard of play on show throughout this year’s Premier League.
He added: “Luke and Luke are really setting the standards at the moment.
“The levels they’re producing and how they’re bringing the best out of each other — it’s incredible for the rest of the sport.

“And not just Luke and Luke — I love watching Chris Dobey.
“Nathan Aspinall is playing superb. Absolutely superb. He’s won two or three of these Premier Leagues. He’s done brilliant.”
