Many fan, player and pundit alike have tried to explain the drop in form at Spurs. In the last week our on-loan defender Vederen Corluka stated that the players were tired and it was due to lack of rotation.
Of course the old wheeler-dealer, who has an opinion on everything and usually lets everybody know it, rubbished this saying most players had only played an average of thirty games. He then rambled on about Bobby Moore and playing knee deep in mud. Ah yes, jumpers for goalposts!
The mans intellect is about as deep as my pockets (not very)!
Harry Redknapp needs to understand the game has moved on. In those days players lived on steak, chips and beer. The game is much different now and the stresses on the body are even moreso. This is the reason so many players seem to be suffering from heart problems.
Rotation is the problem, how many games have Defoe, Kranjcar, Bassong, Pavluchenko, Livermore, Sandro, Rose, Townsend etc started. We lost some good players in January all down to his own inneptitude. There is no point blaming a lack of quality on the bench. Redknapp has been at the club for more than three years now, any shortfalls in the playing department are down to him.
