Getty ImagesWHAT POCHETTINO SAID
Asked if Neville's comments may have had a positive impact heading into the midweek match at Stamford Bridge, Pochettino told reporters: "No, no good thing. To be professional, they want to win. We didn't win Wednesday because of the comment of Gary. The players follow my vision and the way that I behave. They only pay attention because here in England when important people like Gary is talking this way, of course you pay attention but then you move on."
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
Chelsea are currently 11th in the Premier League and will hope to start climbing into the top half of the table by picking up a win against Brentford on Saturday. After that, they will meet Newcastle in the league on March 11.
