Poch said: “I think one of the best spells of football we played last season was in the first half against West Brom. In two and a half years it was the best performance of football we played as a team.
“If you see that first 45 minutes how we played from front to back the movement, the chances we created, we were unlucky in the second half, in one set piece we conceded the goal.
“But no, no, in our minds all we want is to get the three points and play. It will be tough because it is a good team, but nothing more.”
Pochettino also refused to highlight the two points dropped when Craig Dawson cancelled out his own-goal on April 25 to leave eventual champions Leicester needing just one point to take the title.
“Yes, but you never lose the title in one game,” he said when asked if the second-half of that game was a big moment in the title race.
“You lose the title in the moment when you say you cannot fight for it mathematically. But you lose the title before that, not in that game. In every game. We can speak about different games during the season. Not just about West Brom or Chelsea (a 2-2 draw which saw Leicester win the league).
“It is only at the end when you lose the last possibility to be champions. But it was not that moment. It was not the final where you lose the opportunity. Its about 38 games, maybe for me the first the last and the middle games that are important.
“It is true that the reference point is when you have don’t have the opportunity to challenge, and maybe West Brom or Chelsea was the last few games that you lost the opportunity to win the Premier League.”
