Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits they over-relied on Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart this season.
Defeat to Manchester City ended Spurs' top four hopes last night.
"The biggest problems in this run where we have fallen out of the top four are that we lost Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart has suddenly become a bit jaded due to the World Cup and not having a pre-season," Redknapp said.
"When they were in top form, we were killing teams off as well as playing good football.
"Not too many teams play better than we do. That means a lot to me.
"I enjoy watching us play. I would rather that than us play awful football and keep lumping the ball.
"I want to enjoy the last few years I have got in football."
