These statments are a bit harsh and we havent had our best team out all season you need all your players fit and match fit pavlyuchenko has not played three games in a row so how can you expect him to even bother .Bentley the same and Bale is only just recovering from a nightmare couple of years injury .We have a good Sqaud but not a match fit squad and to many game breakers are missing Moderic Lennon Defoe and Dosantos who i belive will be a sensation if he gets back to were he was just before he got crocked .EPOCHERY. Take fabregas van persie arshavin out of the arsenal team and they would struggle Hudds paying without defoe and lennon and mods is no good for toms passing skill and it showed there full backs would have bean less adventures if they had to watch mods and lennon .We lost with a less sharp king because he missed two games not one and Bale should have bean on instead of the unfit Ekotto who has helped to give the opposion more goals than he scored .

Tottenham 3 losses against the best 3 in the country are as a result of Redknapps lack of tactical nouse. Yes is a good motivator and the match of most managers in the coutry but found wanting against the best. We need to play a tighter brand and frustrate these teams. There are 16 other teams we can play the tottenham way against.

Let James stay at Pompey. He’s a nightmare. Gomes is a better keeper. Guus Hiddink rates hime highly and he just needs to settle.

Good article.
daz, you´re mad to say it slipped through his fingers! The balls travelling at 50mph and it went in low. Not his fault in the slightest. 3rd goal sure, some blame. But the real blame is with our choppy back four. BAE falling asleep in recent weeks. And Harrys inability to conjure up a decent plan against the big boys.
To blame Gomes is retarded.
He´s the best keeper we´ve had since?!?! Anyone I can remember.
What he needs it a solid, consistent back four infront of him.

i really do not think gomes was at fault for the 2nd goal and dont blame him entirely for the 1st which was bit of a fluke in all honesty. and whatever gomes’s bl;ame might be it deosnt hide our deficieny in midfield when we play huddlestone and jenas together agianst the tops sides. huddlestone oin particular just doesnt have the pace opr the bottle or the hunger to match the premierships top midfielders. jenas has alll the abilkity and can run all day but he also seems to hide sand shirk repsonibility when it really matters and he is not developing into the top international midfielder that his potential warrants. i certasinly cant see him making the england squad again. as for pavluchenko. wake up and smell the coffee and sell him asap and replace him with someone quicker with a better first touch and work ethic

Pompey fan here: I wouldn’t be surprised to see Redknapp come back for James. However, I think Gomes is at least as good as James is now, (although he was in a sublime peak of form when we won the cup), and the future is on Gomes side. Gomes had a sensational game at Fratton Park. Redknapp though does tend to be a bit limited in this way and will keep going back for former players or players he has coveted and finds it very hard to rate any player he inherits.
Whilst he IS a very good manager, your performance on Saturday was so similar to many of ours under him at top sides, two goals in a 5 minute spell, goals/chances conceded from the kick off, going to sleep from set pieces. In fact, the defeat we suffered at Arsenal 2 years back was almost identical to yours even down to the third coming from a free kick where our players were standing round looking confused. This is the reason Redknapp won’t breach the top 4, these performances keep happening to him at the other top sides and the mistakes are always the same ones.

Good manager at what he does though.

It won’t go away while lemming write articles perpetuating unattributable media rumours whilst ignoring interviews with the manager. Redknapp gave an interview to the Evening Standard published TODAY. In this interview the manager clearly staed his support for Gomes and how impressed he is with him and that there will be no BID for James. He gave th areas where he needed to strengthen, specifically excluding goalkeping.It won’t go away while articles are written fiving credence to rumours. perhaps if the writer thought before writing he might see that people like him Are the problem.
