Blood Red: Liverpool FC can only dare to dream as Tottenham soar
ON the face of it, the resurgence of Tottenham is a major concern for Liverpool.[LNB]Having gate-crashed the top four last season with their highest finish for two decades, Harry Redknapp's side have wooed all comers so far this term with their attacking swagger.[LNB]There's no doubt they represent a huge threat to the Reds' hopes of ensuring their painful absence from the Champions League is brief.[LNB]Spurs' motto is Audere est Facere (To Dare Is To Do) and they have certainly lived up to that in recent years.[LNB] It's no secret how a club who have only managed to add two League Cups to their trophy cabinet in the past 19 years have managed to close the gap and then seemingly overtake Liverpool.[LNB]While the Reds were dogged by under investment during the wretched reign of Tom Hicks and George Gillett, Spurs showed ambition.[LNB]Redknapp - just like Juande Ramos and Martin Jol before him - has been handed the kind of cash required to realise supporters' dreams.[LNB]When Tottenham beat Liverpool 2-1 on the opening day of last season the list of substitutes told you everything you needed to know about the depth of the respective squads.[LNB]Sat behind Rafa Benitez was Diego Cavalieri, Martin Kelly, Andrea Dossena, Yossi Benayoun, Jay Spearing, Daniel Ayala and Andriy Voronin. With the exception of Benayoun, no-one capable of coming on and changing the course of a game.
