What They're Saying
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (via the Daily Mail): "It is a good thing to receive criticism. All managers around the world are criticized. It is difficult to agree with all the people and make all the people happy. Our job is difficult. I understand my job and it is difficult to share the same decisions [others]."
When asked about his Europa League squad, he added: "Aaron Lennon is not here, Kyle Naughton is not here, Younes Kaboul is not here. I decide the list for those coming to Greece and the players here are the players in the squad that will play. For every single mission, for every single trip, we have our organization and selections. We are ready."
