Harry R is a real fan of what Poch is doing

[Bus-Conductor]

I think he really did, a mate worked with Dawson's misses rednapp really drilled the back 4, I think (my opinion) rednap lost focus.

Van Der Vart on Redknapp:

"There are no long and boring speeches about tactics, like I was used to at Real Madrid. There is a clipboard in our dressing room but Harry doesn't write anything on it."

Van der Vaart also described training sessions as being “low-key” affairs, saying that their recent successes, especially in the Champions League with the win over holders Inter, was mainly down to teamwork, not tactics.

"It's not that we do nothing - but it's close to that," he added.

"For instance, last weekend Gareth Bale scored a header against Blackburn from my corner.

"But we didn't train one minute on it, it was pure luck. Good kicking, good heading, nothing more.

It's like the kiss of death.

One thing I have learnt about supporting my dear THFC is we have a worrying history of not handling pressure AT ALL!

Try as I might, I cannot for the life of me work out what this means??

Without wishing to get into another Harry debate, none of that disproves that he did work with the back four though. Generally his philosophy was to get a team defensive structure and then let the attacking players express themselves.

Don't care how much or little coaching did, Redknapp was a great manager for us (only Poch could claim to be better in my 20-odd years of watching Spurs) and in general I found watching Spurs loads of fun during his time with us.

I think the real game changer for us would be how many of our promising youngsters actually become good enough for the first team squad. If we can get another 2 or 3 through, over and above Winks, e.g. CCV, KWP and Edwards ( I'm not yet convinced that Onomah will make it with us) then that would enable us to sign just 1 or 2 top players to give us more of the cutting edge that we currently lack. I really don't think we are that far off, but we are not there yet.

Ah another redknapp debate.

A team defends as a team, from front to back, we didn't do that under Redknapp. Poor coaching.

I'm not disputing that, just saying Rafa's quotes don't disprove that he did work with his back four, as the guy you were replying to said he'd heard.

going to the spurs show live Redknapp is the guest. Think I'll ask him about blowing that 13 point lead and what went wrong!

There's work and there's work.

I wish Harry would stop praising us as i don`t think it does our players any good to hear this sort of thing.
