Disappointing Tottenham 'must improve' rants midfielder Jermaine Jenas

Tottenham's Jermaine Jenas has slammed Saturday's 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough and says they must improve under Juande Ramos.

Despite winning the Carling Cup this season, Spurs have got nothing left to play for and have only managed one victory in their last six games. After taking the lead against Middlesbrough last Saturday, they were lucky to come away with a point.

Pointing our flaws: Jermaine Jenas wants to see Spurs improve

After losing their previous home game 4-1 against Newcastle, Jenas knows they cannot afford another performance like that as Ramos could make wholesale changes to the squad during the summer.

Jenas said: "It was very disappointing. We seemed to lack everything — no edge, sharpness or creativity.

"Everything was a bit hit and hope and it didn't quite work for us. We have to look at ourselves and realise that it wasn't good enough, but we stood strong in the face of a good Boro performance.

"We felt we would go ahead and create more chances after the first half and we did that, but didn't take them. I'm disappointed we didn't get three points."
