Last night saw Harry Redknapp’s dream start as manager of Tottenham Hotspurs continued with another convincing display of attacking prowess. In his short tenancy he has already beaten the mighty Liverpool twice now!

But there is one position that Harry Redknapp will surely be looking to strengthen, come the January transfer window.

Last night Tottenham beat Liverpool 4-2 to go throught to the quarter-finals of the League Cup. Liverpool scored both goals with headers from corners, and goalkeeping clown Heurelho Gomes was again to blame for both goals.

Now, if the Spurs strikers were still finding it as hard to score as they were before Redknapp’s arrival then Tottenham could have lost this game. Luckily for Spurs, Roman Pavlyuchenko has at last found his scoring boots, and Harry Redknapp’s decision to give on loan striker Fraizer Campbell a chance ahead of the inform Darren Bent, also paid off. Between them they scored two goals each.

I wonder what was going through Redknapp’s mind when Gomez was stretchered off in the second half after a nasty collision – David James mobile phone number, perhaps?

Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy has already stated there will be no money to spend in January, and that Harry is doing a great job with the squad he has inherited.

As far as Portsmouth are concerned, I can’t see Levy giving Redknapp money to buy strikers like Jermain Defoe or Peter Crouch, or midfield general Lassana Diarra if they continue to win games over the next couple of months. But surely Redknapp will state a case for buying a first-class goalkeeper to stop leaking goals.

Last season Harry Redknapp won his first major trophy as a manager. After last night’s victory over Liverpool, there are only three games remaining if Tottenham are going to retain the League Cup.
