Tottenham boss Postecoglou stands by selection for Carabao Cup exit

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou stands by his selection for their Carabao Cup defeat to Fulham.

Postecoglou insists there's no regrets.

He told talkSPORT: "I've been at pains to say for my whole career that supporters should feel the way they feel. I'm not going to tell them to not be disappointed. I'm not in this job desperate to win something just to win something. I'm here because I want to create a club that has the opportunity to win things on a yearly basis. And there's a difference, because us winning a Carabao Cup and finishing tenth is not what I think this club is about.

"That's not dismissing the Carabao Cup. I want to win every game; trust me, I was disappointed on that night as well. But that's not the endgame for me. It's not about just winning something for the sake of winning something. It's about building something. That's what's always driven me my whole career.

"I want to build clubs that have sustainable success and supporters go into every season feeling good about their prospects and watching their team play football."
