Route one, two goals: Robbie Keane celebrates an Anfield goal on Sunday with Gareth Bale

Spurs have always prided themselves on playing a certain brand of football and the prospect of route one stuff will fill Tottenham fans with dread.

But Jol instructed his players to start hitting long balls during Sunday's 2-2 draw at Liverpool and he may decide to sacrifice style for substance in a bid to hoist the Londoners away from the Premier League drop zone.

And Jol revealed: "It was mentioned to me that our goals against Liverpool were out of the old Wimbledon manual and I have to admit it is something I literally called for at half time.

"The important thing at the time was for us to win battles and get behind their back four so I said: 'Let's use the Wimbledon style occasionally.'"
