Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is feeling more and more confident about keeping his best players at Fratton Park.

"I've found I don't have to do too much to keep these players going now," he said.

"You hope that on the back of reaching an FA Cup final you still produce the right performance in the next game and I was delighted with them.

"Niko is a tremendous footballer. You saw his goals against England and Scotland and he's real class. Yet he's only a kid at 23, just like Sulley Muntari beside him in midfield."
