Spurs will face Colchester in the Carabao Cup and some fans want Tottenham Hotspur Arena academy prodigy Troy Parrott to play the full 90 minutes.
A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the Carabao Cup third-round draw, with Spurs being handed a tie away at League Two side Colchester United (official Tottenham website).
As one of seven Premier League Clubs competing in Europe, Tottenham will be commencing their League Cup journey at the third-round stage and will lock horns with a team they faced in cup competition just four seasons ago.
