Managers Reaction

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte: “The space between games so we can work and not play every three days is helping us. When you come in during the season you have to prepare for the game, game, game. To have more days to work with my players is helpful to us as I have more time to transfer my philosophies on football to my players. This is very important. We can improve. This performance and the last few performances have given us great confidence but in England this league is difficult. To play against us is difficult at the moment.”

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe: “We produced a very good performance up until the moment Fabian scored. I was hugely disappointed to go in at 1-1. Bar a few nervy moments at the start I thought we’d controlled them. The key goal is the second goal – the manner of it from our perspective, we needed to feel our way into the second half. Then we chased the game in a very aggressive way and played in a way we shouldn’t have done. We were far too open but it was in our desire to chase the game.”
