With fans of rival teams suggesting that Harry Redknapp’s inexperience at balancing a squad will lead to their downfall this season, Spurs have successfully passed the first test in a number of upcoming challenges that will eventually show whether or not they are able to cope with the added pressure of playing midweek Champions League games.
Despite going one nil down against Wolves at the weekend, Spurs finished the game in fine style and showed that they are a side which contains plenty of fighting spirit. No one would have made Wolves betting tips to win the game anyway and the result is not definitive proof that Spurs are always going to be able to cope with the added demands that they are facing, but it is an early sign that despite being managed by a man who has no Champions League experience, the North London club are still moving in the right direction.
Should Spurs suffer any more injuries to their squad, they may find themselves in a trickier situation than the one they face currently, but they have so far coped admirably with the loss of their main striker, Jermain Defoe. However, against a side such as Chelsea, who are going to be far more capable defensively than the likes of Wolves, Spurs may well find themselves floundering in a situation in which a tired team devoid of its top players comes unstuck. Betfair Football Andy Gray suggests the side could struggle in the future.
At present, though, this prediction seems a little premature given that Spurs are only just entering the beginning of a busy cycle, one that is likely to throw up tougher propositions than a game against Wolves at home. If Spurs can overcome those tests, then we will see whether it is merely potential that Spurs have, or real talent in the here and now.
