I just thought I'd show my face in here in the spirit of fairness and say that the last three performances have been very good. Culminating in the performance against Arsenal on sunday which was possibly our best performance of the season.
Teams and tactics were all good but most importantly we were passing the ball consistantly for the first time since Redknapp arrived. I'm very much hoping that this is going to continue, if it does I will have to give Redknapp some credit.
I think we need to address the fitness levels as we are losing too many goals late on. We suffered the same fate under Jol. This is not a coincidence entirely. When fitness levels drop and fatigue starts to kick in concentration suffers.
With Kevin Bond in charge of training I still have grave worries in this area but the fact that we are passing the ball again has at least given me some hope when prior to the last three games I'd felt about as dispondant about where we were heading as I had for a very, very long time.
One of the facets of Ramos's coaching effect was the way we started to press the ball better, including higher up the pitch, I'd also like to see this return - and there was some evidence of this again in the last three games.
I still have my doubts, because years of watching what Redknapp has done with other teams and ours most of this season will not be vanquished by three games but I just thought I'd come in here and say it how I'd seen it last three.
