Tottenham's major problem in the first half was their complete and total inability to get the ball to Aaron Lennon in an attacking position. That doesn't appear to be the case in the second half - it looks as thought Harry Redknapp has freed the winger from his defensive duties and pushed him very high up the pitch, leaving him as an outlet for the home side's long passes out of defence. As a result, he's getting the ball a lot more and is absolutely brutalising the AC Milan defence on that side, sending in cross after cross towards the hulking figure of Peter Crouch at the far post.
Tottenham Hotspur Vs. AC Milan: Lennon Threatening On The Right
Marek Jankulovski’s already booked for pulling down the little winger, and Clarence Seedorf may have committed a handball in the box as he attempted to clear Lennon’s latest delivery, although it would have been a harsh penalty if given. While there hasn’t been a clear-cut goalscoring opportunity since very early in the half, it’s looking a lot better for Tottenham than it did, giving the Spurs defence some breathing room after being under the cosh in the first half.
