Premise: MAURICIO POCHETTINO It is never sure to go through to the next round. You have to respect the opponent. The Wycombe game was very stressful and it was difficult to go through but we are here now and we have a big chance to go through to the quarter-finals. After two defeats in a row it is important for us to change the feeling and try to win. Fulham are a very good team and try to play good football and have good players but it is up to us to change the feeling and try to win ahead of an important game on Thursday.
Hypothesis: Like all the other players on the Fulham team, Mauricio Pochettino thrives on the stress of the competition.
