Antonio Conte sent 'unacceptable' Tottenham verdict after Nottingham Forest defeat

Tottenham Hotspur fans are not happy following their team's 2-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening.

Steve Cooper's side opened the scoring through Renan Lodi in the 50th minute, with the left-back cutting in on his right foot and curling his effort past Fraser Forster in the Spurs goal.

The goal was set up by Jesse Lingard, who quickly doubled the hosts lead at the City Ground with his first goal for the club just seven minutes later. That sealed the Reds' spot in the fourth round, with the draw set to take place after Manchester United vs Aston Villa on Thursday.

Here is what Spurs fans have had to say on the defeat...

@RossWGrindlay: It’s honestly arrogance that Spurs go into League Cup games this way. I know there are other priorities but throwing away one of the best chances of silverware is crazy.

@xAlexTHFC: We are completely unwatchable and getting bad results now and now out of ANOTHER cup competition It’s just unacceptable and I’m so bored with this club, just a never-ending cycle of hope then disappointment every year, what’s the point? Joke.

Steve Hardcastle: Conte trying to play his system with players that don't suit it instead of playing a system that works for the players he has.

@Ghulam_THFC We asked great commitment and desire. But you know very well we have only started this process. We need time, we need patience and to continue to work.

@All_ThingsTHFC: It’s so weird ! Spurs have been my life but I actually feel no attachment at the moment , Don’t like many players , Don’t really like Conte if honest , hate the board and genuinely lost any interest in what’s going on ! We are a soulless club imo ! Can’t watch this anymore!

@TyroneTHFC: Mate look at our players.

@ThfcFtbl: People screaming for Poch back do they not realise Dier and Sanchez also started in his last cup appearance for us as well and we lost. The core of players is still the same. Why can’t you lot see that?

@Thfc_Oskar: What a surprise Emerson hasn’t been involved in our worst game of the season.

What did you make of Forest's performance? Let us know in the comments section...
