"Aaron has played so well, he's not had the opportunity.[LNB]"His attitude was not as good in training as it could be and I spoke to him about that. He accepts that and is determined to put that right. Maybe he didn't see light at the end of the tunnel.[LNB]"But he's a decent boy and was very good against Everton, I was really pleased. We all saw him as a kid at Arsenal and when he went on loan from there. When he plays like that he's a good player."[LNB]Difficult timeBentley admits he has endured a difficult time at White Hart Lane, but is now looking to the future and hopes his poor form and chequered past is behind him.[LNB]"I enjoyed it," Bentley said. "It's been a difficult time since I've been here, I've encountered every problem in the book and it's just nice to get my head down now and hopefully concentrate on football.[LNB]"I just looked to enjoy myself and give 100 per cent. Sometimes my efforts have been lacking at times because I haven't been fully focused on football.[LNB]"I think I've got that right now and against Everton I worked hard and my ability came out. I was happy with it."[LNB]
