What the managers are saying

Mauricio Pochettino (Tottenham):“Two seasons ago when we were fighting with Leicester we went to the end but the gap was so big (they finished 11 points behind in third).“It wasn’t enough. Now we are close but we need to be cautious, go step-by-step, game-by-game.“We need to be conscious about that, we need to fight a lot, and there is still a long way for work and to be consistent.“Being involved in four competitions will be tough but are going to try.”Howe was full of praise for Pochettino3
Howe was full of praise for Pochettino
Eddie Howe (Bournemouth):“The biggest compliment I can give him [Pochettino] is that he improves players.“You look at the players that he’s worked with for a consistent period of time, I think they’ve all got better and are now playing at higher levels.“And the team because of that has benefited, so, yeah, an outstanding manager.“He’s definitely someone that I admire, definitely someone that you look at and think has a lot of qualities that you would want in yourself as a manager.“I don’t know him that well but he looks like someone who works incredibly hard, is very committed to his club, and does all the right things.”
