‘Bring on Liverpool’ says Tottenham manager after AMAZING comeback against Arsenal
by stresster on October 30th, 2008 335 words | 14 commentsSpurs fans will care not a jot as to whether their team deserved anything out of Wednesday night’s match at the Emirates. The simple fact is that they drew 4-4 after being 4-2 down going into the final minute of normal time. While Tottenham remain bottom of the table, their confidence must be sky high after a night of high drama, and their manager can’t wait for the next match.
Indeed, Spurs against Liverpool could be another humdinger, although Harry Redknapp might not see the opposition defence fall apart so readily again this season! Indeed, the Reds have achieved clean sheets against Chelsea and Portsmouth in the past week, and will be eyeing another three points when they head to the Lane. However, as The Guardian reports, it might not be a great time to be playing the basement boys of the Premier League.
“Hopefully it can be a springboard,” said Redknapp, before he looked ahead to Saturday’s visit of the Premier League leaders Liverpool. “We can’t wait. Bring them on. We will give it a real go. We will be difficult to beat on Saturday.”
“I haven’t experienced many games like that,” he added. “I saw Man United beat Arsenal 5-4; at least I think that was how it finished up. I was here with my Dad, who was a big Arsenal fan. It was a week before Munich. I’ve not had a team come back as late as that.
“It looked all over. But once we had 4-3, we threw [Jonathan] Woodgate up front. They’re either going to score again or we’ll have one last chance. That’s what happened.”
It’s safe to say that Jonathan Woodgate will be restored to a defensive position for the visit of Liverpool, although do Tottenham fans now expect to get something from the game against the league leaders? Confidence is surely sky high after the 4-4 result, and the players look 100% more up for it than they were under Juande Ramos.

I missed the game as my dish crashed and burned 30 seconds before kickofff due to a snow/ice storm in my area… there were tears to be shed when I looked up the score later last night.

i think the game was a releatively poor game but it parts it was fantastic .. congrats spurs , i think levy saved his own ass by getting in the best english manager harry redknapp. I think he is a wondeful manager and i was very dissappointed when turned newcastle down. Spurs will bnow kick on from here and beat liverpool . I believe arsenal lost the game themselves however . the game was injury time with arsenal leading 4-3 , surely in a derby match of all matches you make sure you keep ball and see out the game. twice injury time fabregas tried to play a through ball when surely the sensible option was to get to corner flag but all credit to spurs they battled and battled and i was delighted to see them get a draw

Apparently Wenger’s first words to his team, after Spurs amazing, stunning and deserved fightback, were “LADIES THIS SIMPLY ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH!”
Who’s laughing now Gooner fans *LOL* COYS

As the article says we have had clean sheets at Stamford Bridge and against Portmouth.
If you try putting a defender upfront in the last few minutes you havent a hope
Carragher and Agger will munch you guys at the back especailly Pavlyuchenko
who by the way is piss.
Why dont you try getting yourselves a decent striker like Torres or Keane. It’s no real suprise that he left White fart lame look where he would have been today if he had of stayed with spurs. But now he’s with us and sitting at the top of the BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD!!!
You guys don’t have an ounce of class in your squad anymore why the hell did you sell Berbatov?
Even Ramos said that selling Keane and Berbatov was why you guys are so shite.
Au revoir
See you on Saturday and remember Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres = CLASS

no i dont think pavlyuchenko is piss.his goalscoring record for club and country is brilliant. nobody knew berbatov before he came to the lane, Pav is good but we’ll wait and see how good. there is plenty of class in the squad, everyone thinks king, woodgate, giovani, modric are class. berbatov wanted to leave and is a moody prick- 20 million profit is great business and will be invested to buy veloso/ diarra/ owen/ -you could afford all 3 for that money! everyone knows gerrard and torres are class but you cant win the league as usual without depth, chelsea and manu have 10 times the squad liverpool do. arbeloa, dossena, voronin, pennant,kuyt dont compare to the big twos squad players. we’ve been so shite because ramos was the wrong man for the job, simple as that. he couldnt communicate anything or motivate the players that we have, i hope redknapp gets the most out of them, he’s got the maximum out of players everywhere he’s managed. winning the uefa cup and/or the fa cup would be great season.

wot makes me laugh is spurs fans r acting like they ve won….. yes u got a point against a mediorce arsenal side that defended poorly.
but u got lucky, luck doesnt last. liverpool will porbably beat u at the weekend. n then u will come out of the dream bubble ur in at the moment n realise the facts, ur bottom and heading for the championship. so laugh it up spurs but we all no where ur heading come May
gunner - October 30th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
u havent got a strike force worthy of being in the prem, u will struggle for goals and ur defence isnt wot i wud call ’solid’ so u have nothing to play with.
plums and pears - October 30th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
reality check for gunner and the gooners!! prem champions??? you got no chance!!!
nick reddyoff - October 30th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
To the guy who said nobody knew Berbatov before he was at Spurs…..what tosh. You’d have to have been blind and dumb not to have known who he was! I certainly did.
Back to the article though, I think Big Harry is setting himself up for a fall. I’m a Liverpool fan, and I don’t mind Spurs so please don’t think my comments are because I’m a deluded mug like some of the other fans of my club, but the Spurs defence is shameful and if Torres plays he’ll rip them apart…Gomes is a joke and I don’t think you guys have enough diversity up front unfortunately to get through Carragher and Agger. Don’t get me wrong, you’ve got some awesome players but I just don’t think you’ve got the right players i.e. too many attacking midfielders and one dimensional forwards.
If you had a pacy forward who could feed off Pav and Bent that’d be good, a holding midfielder and a new back 5 I think you’d be Top 4 material….will be interesting to see what Harry does with the squad and if Defoe makes a return. Although I think David James will be his first signing!
Anyway, score prediction, 2-0 Liverpool.

gunner thats a bit rich,i mean for a team like spurs who according to some ppl have no strikers and are not solid they managed to score 4 yes 4 against u at ur ground and even more so u lot have lost to hull and fulham 2 teams with a great strike force.i think the fact that players like cesc and adebayor epitomised exactly the mind-set that arsenal fans have towards spurs…so good.but on the topic of spurs against l´pool…well why cant they get a result against them.would anyone have bet that hull would beat arsenal and be 3rd!no!!so why cant spurs get a result.

I watched the Arsenal/Spurs game on Wednesday and I thought Spurs played extremely well considering the past few games and kept up with Arsenal who has been awesome lately. Bentley’s goal was fantastic and maybe a contender for goal of the season. Arsenal, playing at home kept on the pressure but spurs never lost their heads and kept going till the dying seconds which was the right thing to do.
Now I think they all had something to prove, both to Harry and also to Wenger & Co,
Onto Saturday, spurs are going to want to play well but will not have the added incentive provided by Wenger, they will also be facing Keane with a point to prove and maybe Torres who will want to get back to scoring, add in Gerrard, Carragher and the others who now have this self belief in their game then I think they may have to bypass a point in this fixture. Also spurs will not put everyone behind the ball like some of the teams have done so it will allow some great passes from Midfield; all in all it should be a good game. I am going for 3-1

willb you talk some utter shit about our squad not having depth;
“arbeloa, dossena, voronin, pennant,kuyt dont compare to the big twos squad players. ”
I’m sorry to tell you but any Liverpool player would tell that Kuyt is on fire at the minute with getting 3 goals in 2 games. Not bad considering he is a striker playing on the wing. As far as Voronin is concerned he isn’t even with us at the minute because he is on loan at Hertha Berlin, try learning your facts before you complain dickhead.
