‘I have big-name players who believe they’re better than they are, who bang on my door insisting that I should play them,’ said 65-year-old Redknapp. ‘Well, they had their chance and they blew it. I made nine changes from the team who drew at West Ham last week. This was a team that had gone five games unbeaten, that had won at Chelsea and drawn against Spurs and West Ham, but even though I made lots of changes I believed, absolutely, it was good enough to beat the MK Dons. I wanted to win, don’t get me wrong. Look at the players I picked. We’re talking about signings from Manchester United and Real Madrid in Park, Fabio and Granero. We’re talking about experienced pros like Ferdinand, an England goalkeeper in Green. Surely they should have been too good for a team two divisions below them. I thought we weren’t too bad up to half time, but conceded two dreadfully sloppy goals. When we conceded the third, which was offside, our confidence went completely. You can’t give away two such sloppy goals as we did. We created a mountain to climb that only got higher. What it shows is that the result and the performance answer a lot of questions. Not to me. I already knew the answers, but to those who wanted to see certain players picked. They gave the answers. I’m going to need to shift some players out of this club this week and get a few in. If I can do that we’ll stay in the Premier League......."
