The Tottenham Hotspur right back has come out and admitted that his team failed to capitalize on a chance to do well in the English Premier League last season as they fell from being Premier League title contenders to finishing
fourth and missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kyle-Walker-c21566 has admitted that Tottenham can only blame themselves for blowing a glorious chance to do well in the English Premier League last season. At one point in the league campaign, Tottenham were level on points with Manchester
United and looking like credible title contenders but all of that went down the drain in the latter stages of the season.
Tottenham hit a woeful run of form which saw them capitulate from a joint second place standing in the league table to a fourth place finish at the end of the Premier League season.
Harry Redknapp’s men eventually failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League as well despite the fact that they finished fourth. Under normal conditions, Spurs would’ve made it to the qualification rounds for the Champions League
but due to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s triumph against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League final, Tottenham’s place was allotted to the Blues.
Harry Redknapp had to face the axe as a result of his team’s poor showing at the business end of the season and now Andre Villas Boas has replaced the Englishman. Walker was a permanent fixture in Spur’s defence last season and
due to his fantastic form, he was awarded the PFA young player of the year award.
Walker said, "Of course we did well to come fourth but I was left with mixed feelings. We were 13 points clear of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 at one stage and so we should've been third. I've got no complaints, nor with Chelsea taking our place because
they won the Champions League. It's the rules of the game. It's life. You have to get on with it, deal with it - and put it right this year."
Tottenham’s fans will hope that Villas Boas can firstly retain the likes of Modric and Rafael Van der Vaart at White Hart Lane stadium as both the midfielders are crucial to any chances that Spurs have of qualifying for the UEFA
Champions League next season.
