Harry Redknapp has urged Tottenham not to throw away a memorable season in the remaining matches.
'We just have to keep going', Spurs boss tells players
Harry Redknapp has urged his Tottenham squad not to throw away the hard work from a memorable season in the remaining matches of the campaign.
Spurs have delivered some of the highlights of the current term, especially in their debut UEFA Champions League outing before they were knocked out by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
The home and away defeats to Real came in a run of form which has seen Tottenham win just one match, when hosting Stoke, since defeating AC Milan in Italy in mid-February.
Just eight Premier League points, including Saturday's late draw against West Brom, have been collected to mean that the chances of a return to the Champions League via a fourth-placed finish are in danger of slipping away.
Sixth-placed Liverpool also have eyes on overtaking Tottenham and Redknapp wants one last push from his club in the battle to close the four-point gap on Manchester City, who Spurs are still to face at Eastlands.
Unbelievable
Redknapp told Spurs'
official website: "It's going to be difficult, but we're still in there and it's still all to play for. We just have to keep going and finish as high as we can.
"If we finish in the top four again it would be fantastic. If not, we try again next season.
"Saturday was a blow, but everyone has them. There are no easy games. I knew West Brom would be difficult and so it proved. They are a good team in good form and we couldn't quite get over the finishing line.
"But we pick ourselves up, we've a big game at Chelsea next and we'll get ready for that.
"It's been a great season, we've had an unbelievable run in the Champions League, and the football we've played has been right out of the top drawer. And it's not over yet."
