What they said

Guus Hiddink

"Everybody has his own charisma. If you see Diego Costa, he is very outspoken. When he's angry, you see that he is angry.

"Eden [Hazard] is a little bit of a different character, a little bit more introverted. He doesn't show what he really [feels]. He's a different person with different expressions, but it doesn't mean that he's not involved.

"Sometimes we like to see a little bit more expression, and when it's more obvious we accept it a bit more easily. He is committed so that's why I defend him. He is also concerned about delivering more. It's not attitude."

Roberto Martinez

"We have been winning the game then throwing it away, and that is harder to take than not being good enough in the first place. It is a painful process to go through but we can learn from it.

"The FA Cup is a different competition to the league and in the rounds played so far we have not even conceded a goal.

"The focus now is on Chelsea, who might be out of the Champions League but are still last year’s English champions, so with a late kick-off and a game under lights we are hoping the Goodison effect will come into play."
