Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits David Bentley is suffering a confidence crisis.

"He's got real quality and both he and Jamie O'Hara unfortunately missed penalties but have a big part of play in the future of Tottenham," Redknapp said.

"David's not as confident as people think and football is a game of confidence. He's a good lad, a lot of people have the wrong idea about him and think he is a 'jack the lad' or flashy.

"He's not, he's a dedicated footballer who trains hard. He hasn't been in great form as he was last year at Blackburn but I'm sure he'll be back to that.

"He wants to get back to that and wants to get back in the England team. I can't fault his effort or attitude."

Redknapp praised the courage of his penalty-takers, adding: "I had a chat with Jamie the day after the game and he was all right, he knows what I think of him as a player and person. David Bentley the same.

"Luka Modric said the last time he took one he missed it and he didn't feel confident, David Bentley wasn't but he said he'd take one. So you have to give him credit."
