Keane out to tame Tigers
Robbie Keane is desperate for Tottenham to claim three points against Hull City on Monday evening.[LNB] Spurs face a busy week with a Uefa Cup game against Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine on Thursday followed by the Carling Cup final next Sunday.[LNB]Keane is ineligible for both the Uefa Cup and the Carling Cup, having moved back to White Hart Lane from Liverpool during the winter transfer window.[LNB]The Republic of Ireland international only has the Premier League to focus on and he hopes to take his frustration out on Phil Brown's Tigers.[LNB]"For me personally, after this Hull game I don't play for nearly two weeks and that is frustrating," he said.[LNB]"I want to win against Hull and then for the two weeks I don't play I can say that at least we got a good result there and that gives us a bit of breathing space.[LNB]"The lads have got a few tough games coming up and a tough schedule but we have a decent squad and hopefully we're ready."[LNB]ProblemSpurs have conceded costly late goals on their travels this season and Keane is determined to help stamp out at the problem at the KC Stadium.[LNB]"There are things we have to look and stop doing," Keane added. "At home we are a strong team and usually batter teams.[LNB]"Away from home has been a problem and that is something we have to sort out.[LNB]"We certainly have the squad and the attitude to go on and win games. It's up to us to switch that home form to the away form."[LNB]Tottenham are currently just two points above the relegation zone but Keane was encouraged by the performance of the team in the goalless draw against Arsenal.[LNB]He said: "It's important that we push ourselves up the table, we're around the bottom where we don't want to be and we're too close so it's important to build on the Arsenal game.[LNB]"That was a good performance and we deserved to win the game. It wasn't to be but we can build on the manner in which we played. If we can take that into Hull we'll have a chance.[LNB]"It's not going to be easy because Hull have had a fantastic first half of the season. Lately they've been struggling and we have to take advantage of that and concentrate on what we do."[LNB]
