Christian Atsu wants his Newcastle United teammates to foregt about Tuesday's League Cup defeat to Hull City and focus on their Championship match against Nottingham Forest this Friday.
The Ghana international came off the bench to play in their 3-1 penalty shootout defeat to Premier League side.
He scored Newcastle's only goal during the spot kicks after both were tied at 1-1.
After the match, Atsu told nufc.co.uk: ''You can see that everyone is very disappointed with this loss but, we have to re-focus now on the games ahead which are more important now than the one we’ve just played.
''We have a league game on Friday, and we can’t be thinking about this game. We have to concentrate on the game ahead. On Friday, we have to give everything and, we have to react quickly.
''It's so disappointing when you lose games like this but you have to react quickly. I think that after we lost at home to Blackburn, today, we came here and played a very good game, and unfortunately we lost a game we could have won.
''We now have to concentrate and react quickly in the next game against Nottingham Forest.''
