00:00 How does it feel to be knocked out of the cup?

00:15 Obviously disappointed with the outcome, getting knocked out of the cup. We weren't at our

00:28 obviously flawed best particularly early on, which is not surprising considering the amount

00:36 of changes I've made, the fact that the boys are the players tonight. It's the first start

00:40 for the season. So we lacked a little bit of cohesion, fluency. I really like the way

00:47 we hung in there. There's many different ways that you kind of grow as a team and I thought

00:54 we showed some real character tonight and personality to hang in there. I thought second

00:57 half we had our moments to kind of maybe go on and win it. But ultimately we weren't able

01:07 to get over the line and you lose on penalties.

01:11 Can you talk us through the team's reaction and why you made so many changes? I guess

01:17 with no European football, this is even more of a case that the cup should have been in

01:23 your priority. It is my priority, but like you say there's no European football. So how

01:28 am I going to find out about our players? What opportunity would I have to do that other

01:33 than a game? They're all Tottenham players. They're all part of our club. Like I said

01:42 in the week, we put out a line-up tonight that will hopefully give us energy and we

01:47 just weren't able to get over the line. But that doesn't mean that the cup or any game

01:52 is not a priority for us. But from my perspective, we're very much at the discovery stage. So

02:01 I need to find out. We need to give players the opportunity to contribute because that's

02:08 why they're here. They're not here just to make up the numbers. A lot of them have been

02:14 working hard at training and we deserve an opportunity to go out there and play to them.

02:21 How much of an issue is it now that you won't be able to give those players minutes?

02:27 Well at least they've had some. So if we need them over the next two or three weeks, we've

02:34 got the window, we can do some extra work with them in terms of fitness. But that's

02:39 the reality of it. We're going to need to rely on these guys, not just them, but whenever

02:49 we get some disruptions along the way, which inevitably happen, whether that's injuries

02:53 or players coming in and out. Tonight was an opportunity to get some game time into

02:58 some guys as you said because it's going to be difficult moving forward.

03:00 Does that change anything with the size of the squad you want to have?

03:10 No, not really. I think the size of the squad, in my mind, is the same as it's always been.

03:17 We want to have a squad that's resilient enough to grow and be competitive in a tough Premier

03:24 League season.

03:25 What was it about Charles Sturgeon, was he really good for his confidence?

03:34 I think he got a bit of a knock. I guess because everyone's been talking about it, it's great

03:40 for him to score a goal like. I think he's played better for us in the other games. I'm

03:47 still looking at it. I get why other people look at that. I understand that. But for me,

03:51 it's about contributing to our football, how we play. I thought we gave away the ball a

03:57 little bit too much tonight. Not just him, there were a few players in that boat. It's

04:02 an important part of our game. That's the stuff that I want Richie to keep working on

04:05 and improving. I think the goals will come. I think the way we play, our strikers, our

04:11 attacking players, all our players will get opportunities to score. To me, it's more about

04:15 the overall game. It's much more important at this stage.

04:18 Do you think you'd like more players to come in during the next few days?

04:30 I think my views around that haven't really changed. We need to trim the squad and get

04:43 to a more manageable state and see what's available for us to then bring in players

04:52 to strengthen the squad in a couple of areas I think we may need.

04:56 You said you were in discovery, did you learn more tonight about who you can and can't rely

05:02 on going forward?

05:03 I wouldn't say can't rely on. That's a bit harsh for me to measure somebody when you're

05:09 doing that. I like the way we hung in there. That's going to be important for us. There's

05:17 some character and resilience shown amongst the guys that I think is going to be needed

05:22 moving forward just amongst the group. We've come away in a cup game to Premier League

05:29 side and lost on penalties. If we'd lost 4-0 or got blown away then maybe there'd be a

05:36 different discussion to be had. If we'd won on penalties would my views be different right

05:43 now? No, it'd be exactly the same. It's not really measured by the outcome, it's more

05:48 measured by the whole experience of us seeing the guys out there, how much they're understanding

05:59 our football. I thought there were some good moments and there were some moments we still

06:03 need to improve on.

06:04 Did your players have difficulty picking each other out in your cappuccino away trip?

06:14 I struggle to follow them in my peripheral vision. There were a lot of misplaced passes

06:19 in the first half. I wonder whether the natural visibility of the shirt was an issue?

06:27 I don't know. Is the real answer to that genuine question? That's my genuine answer. I'm not

06:35 really sure. I don't think it would have played a massive part. I think some of it is just

06:41 like I said, in a team function when there isn't familiarity there, guys who haven't

06:49 played with each other in over two or three games, there's not going to be the fluency

06:54 there that we've seen. That's understandable. But again, that's part of the process of where

07:02 we're at at the moment. We need to find out about our players, find out about the group

07:10 and our character and our personality. I don't know, maybe we need to check our colour matching

07:22 capabilities on our cappuccino.

07:26 How was Dane Scarlett's first performance this season? What did he make of his performance

07:32 and is he your intention to keep him at the club?

07:36 He was bright when he came on. He's been really good for us in training. He's working really

07:42 hard. I'll sit down over the next couple of days with Dane and chart a way forward for

07:49 him. I really think he's definitely got a future at our club. I really like his attributes

07:55 as a striker. It's always a balance with young players. Will he get enough game time? Because

08:01 for him that's the next stage of development is to play. He played a fair few games last

08:08 year but I think he's actually improved as a player since then. I'll make a decision

08:14 over the next couple of days. I'll sit down with him but I'll certainly see him as a top

08:20 number player. A lot of that will depend on what else happens over the next two or three

08:26 days.

08:26 Good. Thank you very much.

08:27 Thank you.

08:29 Thanks.
