00:00 It is my priority, mate, but like I said, there's no European football, so how am I

00:03 going to find out about our players? What opportunity would I have to do that other

00:08 than a game? They're all Tottenham players. They're all part of our club. Like I said

00:17 in the weekend, we put out a line-up tonight that will hopefully give us energy. We just

00:22 weren't able to get over the line, but that doesn't mean that the Cup or any game is not

00:26 a priority for us. From my perspective, we're very much at the discovery stage, so I need

00:36 to find out. We need to give the players the opportunity to contribute, because that's

00:43 why they're here. They're not here just to make up the numbers. A lot of them have been

00:48 working hard at training and we deserve an opportunity to go out there and play to them.
