Cup pressure on managers unique in England - Mauricio Pochettino

LONDON -- Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is unapologetic about his approach to cup competitions and he believes the pressure on managers in England is unique, saying: "Here if you don't win, you are dead!"

Tottenham's ability to compete on several fronts has been questioned again after Pochettino made nine changes for Saturday's scare against League Two Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup.

Spurs are chasing Chelsea in the Premier League and they play Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round in between a two-legged Europa League tie against Belgian club AA Gent next month.

Pochettino rests players in the domestic cups, Europa League and he even did in the Champions League, but he says he will not change his approach to appease supporters hungry for a trophy.
