Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has slammed Tottenham's players for the way they played under former manager Juande Ramos.

Hodgson, whose Cottagers host Spurs today, said: "Harry (Redknapp) has gone there and everyone is heaping superlatives on him for the job he has done - and quite rightly so.

"I congratulate him but I must say I feel sorry for the previous coach as the players are still the same.

"Harry has not brought in any different players and I do always think players should take some sort of responsibility.

"I am pretty sure that Ramos and his No 2 Gus Poyet must be seeing the team playing as they do now and saying to themselves: 'Why weren't they doing this a few weeks ago?'

"That doesn't take anything away from Harry and the great job he is doing.

"I didn't have that good fortune. In my first six or seven games, I don't think we won one!

"Harry is a friend and it's always nice to play against a team he manages.

"I can only hope we can dent some of his gloss on this occasion. If we are to do it, we will have to play very well."
