On Kulusevski
Yeah [he] has been brilliant, in many respects, as in what he's able to do in that central role. We used him more as a wide player last year as we didn't have too many options.
When we started using him inside, it unshackled him a little bit. He has an unbelievable capacity to run with the ball. The numbers are ridiculous.
On the mood shifting
It doesn't mean you ignore everything, there are some astute observations as to how things are going. What some people see is important to us.
You have to rely on something different to where the spotlight is at the moment.
Archie Gray playing youth football
I guess it depends. I think these things you should treat on an individual basis. Footballers are at different levels in their careers.
I think Archie will really benefit from under-21 football. He's only really had one year of senior football.
There could be another player that already has that experience. I can understand that u21 at international football, you ask is there a benefit. I am a fan of international football as I have seen how much it helps young players develop.
Solanke England call-up surprise?
I don't know about surprised, with Dom he's had to work awfuklly hard in his career. It's important to all young players that the trajectory doesn't always go in a linear fashion.
He was at big clubs, didn't get started but didn't deter him went to Bournemouth and did well.
It's all down to him. I've had him for a month, I've had zero to do with his call-up, it's down to him.
On Fabian Hurzeler
Yeah, great!. 31 it is crazy but I think that is about the age I started but at a novice level.
When he was coaching St Pauli, [a former player of mine] reached out to us and recommended him.
You can tell he is just a real student of the game, so much knowledge.
You can tell when someone has got that curiosity and that's key for all young managers.
The player Edu stopped Tottenham from signing
Tottenham have been linked with plenty of strikers in the past. The reality is that very few of the transfer rumours translate into anything concrete though.
One name that may have been quickly forgotten though is that of Paolo Guerrero. The Peruvian striker, now 40, was heavily linked with a move to Spurs in 2013.
But a deal failed to materialise. That was not for the want of trying on the player's part though, who seemed determined to make the move to north London.

Tottenham made it two wins from two in the Europa League after recording a 2-1 victory over Ferencvaros on Thursday evening. Fresh from last Sunday's 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford, Ange Postecoglou made seven changes to his Spurs team in order to give those on the periphery of the starting XI some much-needed pitch time.
Starting with Will Lankshear leading the line and Mikey Moore and Timo Werner either side of him in attack, the Spurs striker had a good chance inside the first ten minutes but he could only head the German's cross over from close range. Ferencvaros did give Spurs a few scares in the opening exchanges, including when Barnabas Varga headed home at the back post only for VAR to disallow it for offside.
Following that early worry, Spurs responded in the best way possible with Pape Matar Sarr making it back-to-back goals in Europe with a neat finish inside the six-yard box. The visitors went agonisingly close to doubling their lead on 32 minutes as Pedro Porro struck the post after some lovely footwork to fashion a yard of space.

Player ratings vs Ferencvaros
Tottenham Hotspur came away with a 2-1 victory with a much-changed side at Ferencvaros in the Europa League on Thursday night and here are our Spurs player ratings.
Spurs had travelled to Hungary without the injured Son Heung-min, Destiny Udogie, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison, the suspended Radu Dragusin and also left Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon, who flew over to train with the team, out of the club's Europa League squad.
With Tottenham playing again in two-and-a-half days' time with a trip to Brighton on Sunday afternoon, Postecoglou named only four players who started in the win at Old Trafford and teenage academy players Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear came into the starting line-up. Archie Gray started at centre-back with Ben Davies at left-back with Lucas Bergvall in the midfield making it four teenagers in the starting XI.
