Mauricio Pochettino's Stoke Reaction

[Saint-Armstrong]

• I am very happy for the supporters, for the tribute they had with the players
  
• I am disappointed that we didn't win
  
• I think we have been superior in the last six games, but we haven't closed out games
  
• We have lacked that final touch to get the wins
  
• It's a great learning curve for 99% of the players at this club
  
• We're fully aware that the last ten games are very full of emotional charge
  
• We know we have to perform in the last ten games
  
• Maybe we lack some mental strength
  
• Overall, we have done well
  
• Our first goal in the Premier League has been achieved
  
• We will be here next season
  
• We want to maintain the core of the squad, next year they will be more settled with the first season under their belts
  
• The players that join us will add more quality and strength
  
• It's the best possible news for the club that Nicola Cortese will be with us
  
• The budget is something I am going to speak to Nicola about tomorrow morning
  
• I never rest, I always keep on thinking and working for Southampton

He seemed a little distracted during that interview - like somebody was chatting up his missus nearby

Seems fair, at least he is excited for next season.

Ha, he always seems like that, not enitely sure why.

I think that is because the translator gives him some prompts to help him out with certain words, he seems to understand most questions in english these days but obviously won;t know every word.
