da aviator aposta: Tottenham drew a blank against Stevenage at The Lamex Stadium on Sunday, as the League One outfit held their Premier League opponents to a 0-0 draw.
The north London side fielded a strong side that included Gareth Bale, Jermain Defoe and Scott Parker, but could but not break down the stubborn hosts.
Harry Redknapp admitted that his side found the going tough after the match, and that his men resorted to playing long balls due to the pitch.
“I expected it to be tough, honestly,” the Spurs manager told Sky Sports.
“I knew how hard it was going to be. The pitch was bumpy and the ball was bobbling everywhere, it was a difficult game to play football.
“We have all been here. I have been here so many times in the past, nothing surprises me.
“We started thumping it didn’t we? That wasn’t part of the plan.
“I think the lads weren’t comfortable with passing the ball that much. We ended up going long, which wasn’t what we wanted to do,” he concluded.
The fifth round replay will be played at White Hart Lane on Wednesday 7th March, with the winner set to play Bolton in the quarter finals.
