Ramos facing more work

JUANDE RAMOS gives the impression of being a man in a hurry, but even he must now realise that it will take time to heal the wounds caused by Tottenham’s traumatic start to the season.

Jermain Defoe had an opportunity to win this London derby with a last-minute penalty, but he was denied by an impressive save by West Ham’s Robert Green, and Spurs remain just two points above the relegation zone.

In truth, a victory would only have covered up the fact that this side remain a far cry from the footballing model Ramos is trying to build.
