Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has criticised his side’s defending following their 5-1 home defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, and was full of praise for Roberto Mancini’s men.
Edin Dzeko bagged four goals with new signing Sergio Aguero also finding the net in a one sided display that will have alarm bells ringing at White Hart Lane.
“We didn’t defend well enough, they play a little push and run around the edge of the box, we don’t run with people, they get a free header, so we didn’t defend well enough and it cost us,” the former West Ham manager told the press.
The Eastlands outfit have won all three of their Premier League games so far, scoring 12 goals in the process, and the 64-year-old spoke of the Manchester side’s attacking prowess.
“Once you go a couple of goals down against a good side like that it’s really difficult, they’re full of quality there’s no doubt about that.
“They’ve got fantastic forward players, they’re going to be difficult for anyone to contain them for 90 minutes. They’ve got players with goals in them – you’ve only got to look at them,” he finished.
Spurs sit bottom of the pile after two losses, and will take on Wolves at Molineux in their next game on September 10th.
