Jermaine Jenas tells 刺激(する)s: We need to play like 'boring, boring 兵器庫' if we want to 勝利,勝つ the League

Jermaine Jenas believes Tottenham need to be more like 兵器庫 of yesteryear and start winning games 1-0 if they are to put up a serious challenge for honours this season.

The past week has seen 刺激(する)s boss Harry Redknapp 繰り返して 宣言する there is no 推論する/理由 why his 味方する cannot become Barclays 首相 League 支持する/優勝者s come May.

The biggest 障害 to that happening is the north Londoners' 現在の 無(不)能 to keep a clean sheet, with Tottenham 譲歩するing in each of their last 17 games.

Now let's defend: Tottenham central defender Younes Kaboul (centre) netted the winner against Arsenal while left-sided defender Gareth Bale (left) is top-scorer with nine goals

Now let's defend: Tottenham central defender Younes Kaboul (centre) netted the 勝利者 against 兵器庫 while left-味方するd defender Gareth Bale (left) is 最高の,を越す-scorer with nine goals

Indeed, they have 完全にするd only two shutouts this season and midfielder Jenas knows the team cannot go on 得点する/非難する/20ing two and three goals a game 無期限に/不明確に.

North London 競争相手s 兵器庫 were famous for grinding out 選び出す/独身-goal 勝利,勝つs under George Graham - 'one-nil to the Arser-nal' was a familiar Highbury 詠唱する while the 残り/休憩(する) of the football world hissed 'boring, boring 兵器庫.'

They won the League twice in the 80s and 90s on the 支援する of their famous all-English 支援する five of 船員, Winterburn, Adams, Dixon and Bould.

It made them few friends and the Gunners 簡単に stifled the 対立 but Jenas believes it's now time for Tottenham to play more like 支持する/優勝者s-in-waiting and sort that defence out.

A real eye opener: Jermaine Jenas is delighted with the season so far - now he wants Tottenham to defend

'It's something we need to 修正する, and soon,' he said ahead of tonight's 支持する/優勝者s League 衝突/不一致 with Werder Bremen.

'It's 広大な/多数の/重要な winning games 4-3 and so on but there's going to come a point where you need to 勝利,勝つ 1-0.

'All the 最高の,を越す teams do it and it's an area we need to 改善する on if we are going to do anything special this year.'

On paper, 刺激(する)s have a good chance of keeping a clean sheet tonight when they take on a Bremen 味方する who have not 設立する the 逮捕する for four matches.

A 勝利,勝つ at White Hart 小道/航路 would also see Redknapp's men 安全に through to the last 16 of the 支持する/優勝者s League.

When 1-0 was the norm: Arsenal defenders Steve Bould, David Seaman, Tony Adams, Lee Dixon and Nigel Winterburn made life hell for attackers

'A victory is a victory,' Jenas said. 'But one with a clean sheet, we'd take a bit more pride in.'

Part of 刺激(する)s' problem in stopping the 対立 得点する/非難する/20ing is the 欠如(する) of 防御の-minded players in the 味方する.

With 十分な-支援するs that 爆弾 今後 and no 本物の 持つ/拘留するing midfielder, their centre-halves have been left exposed at times this season.

Asked if he had curtailed his own attacking instincts since coming 支援する into the 味方する, Jenas joked: 'Going by results, no! We've got to be very disciplined in there and make sure one of us is 持つ/拘留するing.

'We're all attack-minded but it 控訴s the way we play 権利 now.'

Tottenham could be without their two best 攻撃者s tonight, with Rafael 先頭 der Vaart (ankle) and Gareth Bale (shoulder) both 疑問s.

But the loss of one or both would be 部分的に/不公平に 相殺する by the 最近の return of Jermain Defoe に引き続いて ankle 外科.

Redknapp challenged last season's 最高の,を越す scorer at 刺激(する)s to come 支援する stronger than ever.

'I have never worked with a more 選び出す/独身-minded goalscorer,' he said.

'He has always been like that, since he was a kid, but that's what goalscorers are like, isn't it?

'Jimmy Greaves, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer - they we re all like that. No-one could come 近づく Greavsie, in my opinion. But it's up to Jermain to try to emulate the 広大な/多数の/重要なs.'

刺激(する)s' 問題/発行するs are nothing compared to those of tonight's 対抗者s, who arrived in London yesterday without 10 of their best players.

They are also on a terrible run, having lost five of their last six games, while shipping an 雪崩/(抗議などの)殺到 of goals.

長,率いる coach Thomas Schaaf 計画(する)s to 答える/応じる to the 危機 by going on the 不快な/攻撃 tonight.

'We've got to show courage and you can't do that by 現実に 持つ/拘留するing 支援する too much,' Schaaf said.

'We have to be 勇敢な going 今後 and we have to show what we're 有能な of doing.'
