1. Nothing Is Impossible
Before this clash, which came just two days after Spurs beat Cardiff City in the Premier League, Andre Villas-Boas had this to say:
"This is an impossible game for us to play, but hopefully our team spirit and motivation can get us through," he said. "It (the Capital One Cup) is not our absolute number-one priority but I don't think we have been given a fair chance to play in this competition this year. "It could be possible for the players who played against Cardiff to play this game, but I am not sure I want to risk the players who played getting a hamstring injury which could take them six weeks to recover from when the Premier League is more important. "This team has not experienced having to play again after just two days and we have not been given the same chance as the other teams. So we will have to rotate our squad as the players who played in Cardiff will not be involved. "We are struggling a little bit with injuries but we have great strength in depth, although it is not going to be easy."
And then they went and won 4-0. Nothing is impossible. Quote source:
