Midfield role for Keane
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Robbie Keane made a surprise appearance in midfield as a Tottenham side made up largely of young and fringe players lost 2-0 to South China.[LNB] The arrival of Peter Crouch at White Lane has led to speculation about who manager Harry Redknapp envisages as being his first choice strike pairing.[LNB]It has been suggested Crouch will predominately be paired with Jermain Defoe, leaving Redknapp with a conundrum as to how he should employ Keane.[LNB]The Spurs chief used Sunday's game to experiment with the idea of playing Keane as a central midfielder, as the Irishman appeared for the second half as a replacement for Jermaine Jenas.[LNB]"I brought him on as JJ [Jermaine Jenas] had a bit of an injury and I didn't want to push him too far," said Redknapp. [LNB]"Robbie came on and he played in there. He is a good player and he can play several positions. He is always enthusiastic and he loves to play wherever he is asked to play." [LNB]
