Under fire Tottenham boss Martin Jol has backed calamity goalkeeper Paul Robinson. The keeper has been praised ahead of England's two crunch Euro 2008 qualifiers. Robinson made another blunder at the weekend in the 2-2 draw against Liverpool as he spilled a Steven Gerrard free kick for Voronin to knock home.

  • "I am not concerned about Paul Robinson's form and suggestions he made another mistake," said Jol. "If you see the replay you see that it got a deflection off Jermaine Jenas, hitting his knee, it was not a mistake. It hit him and Voronin was first to the rebound."



    He added: "Nobody went with the runner, it was a bad goal from the defence's point of view.



    "I have no worries about Paul. Every game is different, he has confidence and that is why I played him in midweek against Famagusta, and at Anfield."
