blames the bench now

Harry Redknapp bemoaned the shortage of options on Tottenham's substitute bench after seeing his side lose at QPR.

Adel Taarabt's first-half free-kick was enough to separate the sides as Spurs struggled to break down their hosts, even after Taarabt was sent off.

"We have four games to go and I'm confident we can win all four."
Harry Redknapp Quotes of the week

And the Tottenham boss was left to lament a lack of luck as well as players.

"I don't think Brad (Friedel) has had a save to make in all honesty, we just couldn't score," said Redknapp.

"We just couldn't get the break, we just needed a bit of luck in front of goal today.

"I had no options on the bench. There was one striker fit and there was no one else to play with him. Really, we had no cover at centre-half and no cover up front.

"No disrespect to the bench but it is nowhere near the sort of bench we had six to eight weeks ago."

He added: "I have only seen one bad performance and that was against Norwich. I couldn't sit here and say we have been playing badly.

"We have four games to go and I'm confident we can win all four.



He blames having no striker or CB cover.. erm, so why sign injury prone Saha and Nelsen in January???
Also he said, Freidel neve

wonder how jake gio and rose feel
no wonder hes lost the dressing room

Lought you keep going on about Jake, Gio and Rose. These are pretty ordinary players who would not get in any of the top teams squads let alone their team. Even if our first choices are not playing well enough...which they aren't....they are still better than the 3 you mentioned and you have always to go with your best side. Unfortunately our squad is lacking a lot of class.

We have 3 or 4 top players the rest are just not good enough and regardless what anyone thinks it will be the same next season and likely to be even worse with the possibility of our best players moving on.
