Jol praises Spurs display Tottenham boss Martin Jol praised his side's display against Liverpool - but admitted they could not have stopped Harry Kewell's wondrous winner. Kewell banged in the winner in the second half and Spurs had no answer, especially when Paul Stalteri was sent off three minutes from time for a professional foul. Jol said his side had played well against The Reds and had fancied their chances of a rare win at Anfield going into the game. "It is hard to stop a goal like that," admitted Jol. "We worked hard and played well and apart from one chance that Peter Crouch had in the first half, we were not really in much trouble. "We could maybe have been a bit better up front and (Robbie) Keane missed a very good chance for us just after the break. If that had gone in the result would have been different. "But all credit to Harry Kewell, it was a special goal struck well and there is not much you can do about that. "But we had plenty of possession and the key when you come to Anfield is to keep the crowd quiet. We achieved that for long spells. "We kept (Xabi) Alonso quiet and Steven Gerrard was not as good as he can be. That shows how hard we had worked in our preparation, but you can't work at stopping unbelievable shots like Kewell's." Jol said that he had fancied going to Anfield and getting a result, in what was their biggest game for years with the chance to go into third place in the table with a win. "We felt beforehand that this could have been our day, we have been playing well and we had a strong side on the pitch. "It was out biggest game for years because we had the chance to go into third, but it was not to be on the day, although I thought we did really well." ============================================================================= Jol講話頗實在的... 如果Keaen打進那球的話 ,整個情況或許會完全不一樣 我們很成功的讓Crouch ,Alnoso安靜下來 ,Gerrard也發揮的不是很理想 還要讓Kewell沉默的話 ,實在太強人所難了 Kewell那球要阻止實在是不可能 這對雙方來說都是重要的一場比賽 ,勝負會影響排名易位 比賽中我們表現的很好 我們在控球時間上受到了懲罰 ,掌握控球權是讓Anfield眾安靜的唯一方法 , 遺憾的是我們並沒有做到這點 --
