Tottenham boss Redknapp admits attack best form of defence for AC Milan clash

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says he doesn't have the players to play defensively against Champions League opponents AC Milan.

Redknapp admits for his team, attack is the best form of defence.

"We have not got the players to come here and shut up shop," said Redknapp. "We are an attacking team and that is how I like it.

"Whoever I play, Aaron Lennon, Rafa van der Vaart, we are not set up to stick five defensive midfielders across the middle of the park because we haven't got them.

"Attacking football is what got us here in the first place. We have had a go all through this competition, so we will have a right go again.

"We can score here tomorrow. I don't want to concede bags of goals, for sure. We can't afford the same mistakes, we can't start like that again. But as far as shutting up shop goes, it's a non-starter because we don't have the players here.

"What we have to do is give ourselves a chance when we take Milan back to White Hart Lane. At home, with a full house and players like Bale, Modric and Tom Huddlestone back, we can give anybody a go."
