What They're Saying
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (via the Express): "Maybe, maybe the team feels more freedom than the Premier League. It [UEFA Europa League] is a different competition. Maybe, maybe it is true. Maybe we are more confident in the Europa League, our feeling is more free, to play and show our skill. We need to try and show the same on Sunday against Everton. I think it is important to play well tomorrow [Thursday] at White Hart Lane."
"It is important for the team to go to White Hart Lane and make a good job, play well and win the game," he added. "Because it is true that in the Premier League we have problems in our games at home. Our results are negative, we have lost four at home. But while we need to find the solutions in the Premier League, it is true in the Europa League we have had very good results here and we are happy. This is another competition for us, an important competition for us."
