Tottenham Hotspur assistant head coach Steffen Freund eyes Wembley final as youngsters progress in League Cup Overall, Freund thought there were plenty of positives to take from the game. "We brought a few young players in and we believe in them all," Freund said. Adam Smith was fantastic at right-back and Ryan Mason has been scoring in the development squad, so we knew he can play. Then in the centre of midfield Tom Huddlestone is back after his injury, Michael Dawson is back. There are young players coming through which is nice to see, and it is especially nice to know that we have someone [Townsend] behind Gareth Bale who can jump in and create something. Don't forget, we have several injured players and still had a fantastic, strong team on the pitch today. We deserved to win in the end and it was difficult for Carlisle to create chances. That's why I'm really happy, as is the whole of the coaching staff. One notable absentee from the squad was another new recruit, Hugo Lloris. The France international goalkeeper has only played one Europa League game since his move from Lyon and with Carlo Cudicini starting on Wednesday, Heurelho Gomes named as back-up on the bench and Brad Friedel still seemingly very much in charge of the No 1 jersey at Tottenham, the debate about Spurs' stoppers shows little sign of easing up. Asked about Lloris and his potential involvement in the matches to come, Freund said: "I think at the moment we are just going from game to game. It is not the right moment to talk about individual players because we had a fantastic performance as a team today. Let's see tomorrow who is available for [Saturday's league game with] Manchester United.
