Although it is quite common that when a new manager takes over at a new club, the team just turn around their form and start winning. But if that turn around in form include beating the current league leader Liverpool, then this feat is not so common anymore, especially in the Barclays Premier League where we have "the big four" and the rest of the league.
But this is what Harry Redknapp did, weaving his magic for his Spurs to beat Liverpool from a goal behind, and knocking them off the top. Despite winning 2 games and drew once (great results when you consider beating Liverpool and drawing Arsenal), they are still bottom of the table. This just showed how deep shit they are in before Harry steps in.
But based on their current performance and form, there will be no doubt that they will be out of the relegation zone soon. In the game against Arsenal, they showed so much resolved that they scored 2 goals in the final 2 minutes of the normal time, forcing a draw out of their London rival.
Another positive sign is that Harry made one of the new signing to score. Roman Pavlyuchenko, who scored the last minute winner against Liverpool, will surely have his confidence boosted after scoring such a vital goal in a big game. This will lead to more goals to come from the Russian as the season progress.
Spurs do have a talented team, and with Harry now in the helm, they will be forcing their way up the table, but breaking into "the big four" seems a bit out of reach this season. They can hope for a better start next season though.
