Ange Postecoglou defends decision to make changes as Tottenham exit Carabao Cup. Full post-match press conference: #COYS #THFC

Exactly - he needs to test the team at some point, and preferably early on. Playing the same XI is short sighted. He did the same thing to Oz at the W/Cup in order to prep to win the Asian Cup as there wouldn't have been time otherwise.

DICE MI MAMÁ QUE SIEMPRE NO 😶‍🌫️ Parece que la salida de Diego Valdez del América no será este mercado de fichajes y Toluca se quedaría con las ganas de tener al chileno. ¿Por qué? Entérate. 👇 #América #Toluca #LigaMX

In the context of years without a trophy this was a bad result but in the context of a new manager who usually takes until his 2nd season to get the best out of his players, and 2 or 3 transfer windows, then it’s bit early for people to be throwing their toys out of the cot.

You see them on the training ground each day, you must see that they are not good enough, surely that’s your job?

Do these managers actually know how the fans feel, so disappointed with the way mangers treat cups.

Massive cock up, eight changes ?? If our first choice 11 can’t play two games a week then Ange has a bad squad Shocking decisions xx

I just hope this doesn’t derail the momentum we’ve been building. Football is hugely about confidence and momentum and you have to keep that flowing. We need a striker before Friday too!

Change 3/4 players not 9. Like for like not a new team. Ange got it totally wrong. He won’t last long doing the same shit as conte and Jose. Burnley now is an absolute must win game otherwise the fans will lose interest. 1 more chance to win something, we had 2 but Ange fucked up

If the cup is a priority, use the Burnley & Sheffield United games to rotate & maybe make 2 or 3 changes in each game. Why 9 in a game that he just said is a priority. At Brentford he had Skipp & Emerson, then changed to Sarr & Porro against United. He can do something similar.

Yes you need to test and try out the players but why do it at this fixture??

What an arrogant Aussie prat Absolutely no clue on English football 10000 went to watch him pick a pick full of disgruntled players and chance on chance not good enoughs

Learned a lesson here .

He got it wrong …to many changes ,I even found the subs weird and timed wrong also

Talking absolute bollox. He threw the cup in the bin. Just say it as it is.

He got it wrong tonight unfortunately. Sanchez needs to go along with a few others.

Indefensible a mistake by a person out of his depth long and plundering season ahead With no Main striker trouble ahead

smooth plan . Fulham padu siak

🤡

Believe in Ange - 4 games, 2 wins and 2 draws. Fulham, flying high after the Arsenal draw, could only beat our #Spurs B team on penalties. It was their first game together! Personally, I'd prefer the FA Cup! Now, to bounce back with a win against Burnley. #COYS @SpursOfficial

100% failure rate in cups...this guy is squandering the good will needs to up his game or can do one

HAVE A LOOK AT 3 OR 4.

9! Defend that 🤬

Ange answers it himself. 😂Not surprised we played shit with so many changes.🙈 Tell you what Ange, don’t make so many then. Make 5 this round then 5 next round when we might get an easier draw. That’s how you see your players playing with the first Xl & not chucking then all in.

I understand his reasoning, maybe a couple too many. Now he knows the quality and has ammo to take to Levy to say the second string ain't at the level required. We all knew it, so did he now time to be serious and get the players out that ain't making squad.

The fact it was another premier League team. Everyone knows not to play a completely weakened team when you verse another prem side it's as simple as that

Worst excuse yet he’ just fucked up another chance at some silverware

9 players who haven’t played in a competitive game and we weren’t fluidity which is understandable because of those 9 changes,ER hello why do it then if it’s understandable,except for injuries you play your strongest team simple really.

Let the guy do his job, we were told it would be a tough start, we’ll there it is, but maybe he’s found out now who he can call on and who’s a grifter. Locelso and Hojberg quit on us. Sanchez has the minerals to take the blows and take a peno

He showed no respect for away fans. He cares more to keep players happy than make fans happy and for once take this cup seriously. I'm angry not because we lost. I pissed off because we didn't give the best shot to win it.

If he doesn't know about his players now, he never will. He sees them in training every day for Pete's sake! Doesn't sound like he gave a toss about the League Cup to be honest - unless that change 9 'instruction' came down from above?

On the training field? By doing some basic homework of the past 10 years? By putting individuals into a coherent system rather than throwing 9 into an untried team? 🤦‍♂️
