“That’ll be us knocked out,” “Easy pickings” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans are unsure on the news they have drawn Colchester United away in the Carabao Cup.
Colchester defeated Crystal Palace on Tuesday, and they could fancy their chances against a Tottenham side who have not had the best start to the season.
This will be Spurs’ first game in the competition because they are involved in Europe this season – so don’t have to play the second round.
A lot of Tottenham fans feel that Mauricio Pochettino has to win a trophy this year and the Carabao Cup represents the perfect opportunity to do that.
