Redknapp: Two points dropped
News | admin | January 30, 2010 at 7:08 pm
Harry Redknapp was disappointed that Tottenham could not hold on for all three points against Birmingham City.
Jermain Defoe gave Spurs the lead in the second half, but in typical fashion Spurs conceeded a 90th minute goal to throw away two costly points in the race for a Champions League place.
“I felt we had control throughout,” he told Sky Sports.
“We got one up and we just had to continue playing the way we were. It didn’t last though and into injury time we lost concentration and it cost us. We didn’t react and it was poor defending.
“I always felt we had control of the game and were the better team. I thought it was a terrific away performance today, so I didn’t really see us in any danger.
“Up until the end we had been top class, but that’s how it goes. I couldn’t complain about the effort and the way we played today.
“I thought we passed the ball well on a difficult pitch and were always in control. It was definitely two points dropped.”

Flog him in a year and buy Kjaer.
Again we outplay a poor Birmingham team and still give away points.
I feel its all a hopeless cause!!
I miss the spurs from August 2009 —> December 2009
Finally we agree on something! Birmingham have been on a great run, and we’d have probably taken a point before the match.
Man City, Liverpool and Villa have all had their blips, we’ve had a disappointing run, but hardly a disaster. Judge Harry by how many points we finish with, not on our final position.
sort the concentration in defending
the captain has to keep our shape on the pitch
simple……..
if we dont make top four it will be the points lost from not doing the above against lesser teams when it matters
sort the heads harry……..make the right subs
the players in form etc
you spurs fans are a disgrace, my god were up there as opposed to last year. Not long ago we would have lost to teams like birmingham and always be mid table. Getting really sick of these forums
Are you ever happy? in your eyes no doubt we should play a lazy Pav (cant be bothered to train or learn english )Give Gio a chance etc. Then no doubt you will be moaning..why are we playing them blaH BLAH…your a fuckin disgrace and the type fan that has to go..Good to have someone like davespurs on here who realises we are so much better now..
All the “rub of the green” or “it was one of those games” excuses he is becoming famous for are wearing thin. With Harry we’re detined for glorious mediocrity and he knows it.
But he also has limitations, such as those he doesn’t connect with – Pav, Dos Santos, Bostock, Dervite, … Is it possible they’re all lazy? I doubt they could have got where they are if that was true. It’s more likely they just don’t connect.
And what about tactics, especially the ability to change them when things aren’t working? That’s a lack that has cost us points all season. His substitutions reflect his inability to think in a tactical way and have also cost us points.
I was watching some of Man City v Portsmouth, a team they should beat in a walk. Yet they didn’t walk. Man C hustled every moment of the game. Each player knew his position wasn’t safe with Mancini in charge. That’s more of what we need.
If only we could merge the tactical smarts of Ramos’ first year, Jol’s toughness and Harry’s communication – that’s be a manager!
