Spurs boss Redknapp in new attack on Pavlyuchenko

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp took a swipe at Roman Pavlyuchenko, despite his goal in their 2-2 draw with FA Cup opponents Leeds United.

The home fans were singing 'Super Pav' even before he had fired Tottenham 2-1 ahead against Leeds, within five minutes of replacing Peter Crouch.

But Redknapp complained: "When you haven't got the ball, you have to work. There's nothing to stop him starting games if he comes in every day to work, train, shows a good attitude.

"I expect him to run around and work hard for the team. You can't have a couple not working. You have to put a shift in. I'm not talking just about Pavlyuchenko.

"You can't have two strikers who won't work for you, who won't run the channels and track back when they lose the ball.

"That's what you need if you're going to be a successful team."
