Martin Jol spoke to Sky after the 3-3 draw against Wigan, with Spurs three times coming back from being behind.
The big man said:
‘It was a great game of football, but they scored from crosses and we should have known their weapons. On the other side of that, we used our quality and that is why we scored two terrific goals, and even the Jermaine Jenas penalty was a great attack. We could have nicked it but at the end we have to be satisfied with a point.’
‘We score goals and even at the end Jermain Defoe came on and showed me that he wants to play for us, but we have to do better defensively.’
Adding on the hectic period Spurs have endured:
‘We played last Thursday, Saturday, Thursday and then Sunday so playing a fourth game in ten days was not easy. Coming to Wigan can be difficult but we showed our quality. The main thing now is that we finish in the top six because we want to play in Europe again.’
For once I do pity the players for being tired, that is a lot of games and it isn’t the coolest of days. A great battle and good to see that we have a bit more steel and determination now, earlier in the season we’d have lost this after going behind three times.
Just one quick question though, why would Jermain Defoe have to show BMJ that he wants to play? He has said all season he wants to play and you can’t blame his frustrations being on the bench surely?
