Ange Postecoglou insisted that the Carabao Cup was his priority after Tottenham's trophy hopes were dashed following a second round loss to Fulham.
Postecoglou "disappointed" with the resultAfter a brilliant start to life at north London, picking up seven points in three Premier League games, Postecoglou tasted his first competitive defeat on Tuesday evening after his troops went down 5-3 in a penalty shootout, after being held to a 1-1 scoreline in regulation time, with Davinson Sanchez missing his spot kick.
“The Carabao Cup was my priority. There is no European football so how am I going to find out about my players? They are all part of the club. That doesn’t mean the cup or any game isn’t our priority.“We are very much at the discovery stage, so we need to find out and give the players the opportunity to contribute if we are going to need them over the next few weeks. We are going to need to rely on these guys, and this was an opportunity to do that.
