Robinson: Ramos has made us better than under Jol in only two weeks

Paul Robinson has admitted it has taken new manager Juande Ramos less than two weeks to make Tottenham a better team than under Martin Jol.
Spurs got their UEFA Cup campaign back on track last night with a 2-0 win at Hapoel Tel-Aviv, their second clean sheet in three games under Ramos.
The former Sevilla coach arrived in controversial circumstances following the sacking of Jol 15 days ago.
But Robinson believes he has already made big improvements, especially at the back where the club have the third worst defensive record in the Premier League. He said: "You can see that Juande has made a difference to us on the pitch already. We are more solid defensively.
"Confidence is coming back to the team, it starts with me and the defence at the back and breeds through the team.
"Juande is a very confident person and has brought that to us. The players respect him and are playing for him straight away.
"We have played three games this week and we have conceded only one goal. It was not against the toughest of oppositions, but it was what he wanted to start with.
"We have worked on our defence massively and he has gone back to basics with the organisation, everything. He has gone through the whole team. It has been difficult because we have had a game every three days so he has had limited time, but you can see that what he is doing is coming across on the pitch.
"Things are definitely starting to look up for us."
The England international is confident the club will now go on to qualify for the knock-out phase and added: "This result has offset the Getafe defeat and we have two more games to make sure we get through."
