Redknapp hails resurgent Gomes

Fri 29 May, 03:24 PM


Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has hailed "fantastic" Heurelho Gomes for the goalkeeper's recovery in form.

The Brazilian goalkeeper made a series of mistakes in the first few months of the campaign and was widely expected to be replaced, with Carlo Cudicini arriving from Chelsea.

However, the 28-year-old produced a string of consistent displays as Spurs moved up the table.

"Gomes has been fantastic considering the start he had and the bad time he went through," Redknapp told Hotspur magazine.

"He has shown great character to come back from where he was."

  1. comment 8, I agree with you. It's got a bit boring­ every week seeing wins for Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool­ and Arsenal. There's no variety at all, I just wish­ someone could break the monotony.

  2. I,m starting to find our league very competatively­ depressing , Just like the write erskine here , we­ most of us just completely disregard 1st 2nd 3rd and­ fourth place in our league , That cannot be right ,­ for over a century we provided the most varied league­ where the success could in no way be predicted from one­ season to the next ? What really gets me is the fact­ that so many people even supporters of non top 4 ,­ seem to be proud that we have a no entry sign up into­ the top 4 ! what is it you all seem to revere about­ boring predictable weekends of football !!! ­ On anothe subject , just want to mention what an anti­ climax the relegation issue was this year . I would­ like to say battle , but it was far from that . once­ again our predictable league won , and the strugglers­ went down with a whimper and not a point between them­ in the last matches SAD

  3. Fair play to Gomes; he have improved in the latter half­ of the season, especially under Redknapp's­ management. I have to confess, I was one of those who­ wanted Gomes replaced but he's in consistent form­ and thus deserves another season to show what he can­ do. A good goalkeeper is only as good as the back four,­ and the back four are only as good as the midfield and­ so forth. A confident goalie with a solid defence­ allows the team to concentrate on creating more chances­ in the oppostion half.

  4. Erskine Sam - I hope you're right. Probably better­ for all Spurs fans to keep quite this year following­ last seasons dismal start.

  6. He's quality but it took him time to get over Ramos­ mismanagement.Cudicini is also good as he proved at­ Chelsea when Cech was taken out at the Reading game and­ he had to step in.Gomes has saved a few shots but if­ your taken in by his antics earlier this season then­ your stupid.
