Spurs will get over their travel sickness, says midfielder Jenas

06 April 2009 11:03
Jermaine Jenas has insisted that Tottenham's season will not end with a whimper despite Saturday's 'sickening' loss at Blackburn. A debatable first-half Robbie Keane penalty looked to have secured Harry Redknapp's side the three points until a disastrous last 12 minutes saw Wilson Palacios dismissed before goals from Benni McCarthy and Andre Ooijer won the contest for Rovers. However, Jenas believes Tottenham fans should take heart from the team's performance - they were easily the more accomplished side despite the final score - and insists Spurs will not repeat last season's poor finish. This time last year, under boss Juande Ramos, Spurs won just two of their last nine Premier League matches as the season drifted away but Jenas is confident this year will be different. He said: 'It is pretty sickening to lose to be honest with you. We have been playing really well lately and we battled and dominated the whole game. 'In battling terms and football terms we definitely dictated everything so to still lose is a tough pill to swallow.'
