The Tottenham boss did speak about the issue before the match. He said: "I'm not interested. Never have been. Not in the least. It's not the first time I've been questioned about set-pieces in my coaching career. There is an underlying reason for that which I'm very, very comfortable with. To quote Billy Joel, you may be right, I may be crazy, but it's maybe a lunatic you're looking for."
He went on to add: "Eventually I will create a team that has success and it won't be because of working on set-pieces."
