Tottenham gelling or Harry genius?


The gaffer???? Harry Redknapp has earned Tottenham Hotspur seven points out of a possible nine in his first three games in charge after his move from south coast side Portsmouth, making the clubs points tally of the season to nine and lifting them off the foot of the table. It happens whenever a new manager joins a club, a team that is near the bottom of the league plays terrible for one manager however the same players manage to play superbly for another. It happened when Curbishley joined West Ham and it's now happening with Redknapp at Tottenham. He arrived at White Hart Lane when Tottenham were up against Bolton, three points were gained. Then Spurs travelled to The Emirates where he orchestrated a spectacular comeback as Spurs drew with bitter rivals 4 - 4 and on Saturday he managed to encourage his side to come from a goal down against league leaders Liverpool.

The players???? David Bentley wasn't even worthy of a place in the starting eleven when Ramos was at the helm but now Mr Redknapp is in charge he is a new player, scoring one of the best goals seen in the Premiership, and is proving to his critics that he was worth the money spent on him during the summer. Similarly with Pavlyuchenko, he couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo under Ramos scoring only once. However under Harry he has put in performances that made him stand out so much at the Euro's scoring two in three. Gomes is still a bit worrying however it looks good for Spurs fans at the minute especially as King is managing to stay injury free.

Are Tottenhams change in fortunes due to the squad finally gelling together or the magic of Redknapp?
