Jenas in pledge to back Jol to the hilt

Jol must have been fearing for his job after seeing Aston Villa storm into a 4-1 lead at White Hart Lane on Monday night.

But the Tottenham players showed their commitment to the Dutch coach by fighting back to secure a 4-4 draw and give the fans a match to remember on the club's 125th anniversary.

Jenas is hoping Tottenham can now put their nightmare start well and truly behind them and reproduce the form they showed last season, which helped the club to finish fifth for the second consecutive year.

Spurs will at least be able to relax for the first time this term when they take on Famagusta tomorrow night with a 6-1 first-leg lead.

Jenas said: "We can definitely turn things around. It was only last year when we were in a similar situation and the games started to come thick and fast with us playing in Europe.

"We started to keep clean sheets and get some wins under our belts. The confidence just went from strength to strength.

"Everyone is fully supporting the manager.

"A lot of us have faced this before in our careers, whether it has been with Tottenham or other clubs. You have just got to go back to your experience and I'm sure we will come through it.

"As good as you can be going forward, you have to be just as good keeping clean sheets. That is a team thing and goes from the strikers all the way to the defence.

"Until we get that right we will probably have to score more goals than we let in to win games." Meanwhile, Jol insists that skipper Ledley King will not be rushed back from knee surgery as he continues his rehabilitation.

Jol said: "Last season he came back for the last four games and that was probably the reason we were fifth. We were fourth for seven months the year before, that was because of him.

"I can't wait for Ledley all the time because I have other players that I have to focus on but if he comes back it will be a big bonus for us."
