- Asked how important a top-eight place is, Howe said it would be nice, but the best way to answer is to try to win the next two games. He called tomorrow a really magical game.
- Howe said Dan Burn is making really good progress and has pretty much stuck to the expected timelines, but it is too early for tomorrow. The same goes for a second player back with the team.
- Asked about 21 points since the last international break, Howe said he thinks they have been much more consistent since then. They did a lot of work in that break, and the challenge is to maintain it.
- Asked about Sir Bobby Robson, Howe said he stood for hard work, good organisation, never giving up and representing the club in the right way. They have tried to live by those principles from day one.
- Howe was really pleased Sven Botman feels this is the right place for him. They really missed him and took a long time to adjust without him, so getting him back was a massive lift.
- Howe said a top-eight place means fewer games in a season when they are stretched physically and mentally, and it is obviously their wish. One game where they were in a strong position still hurts a little.
- Asked about PSV, Howe said they are expansive, build from the back and have slightly different ideas. He thought they were very strong against Liverpool and really unlucky not to beat Atletico Madrid.
“I've said many times I'm glass half full.”
