They should be finishing in the top three with that squad, that\u2019s where they should be, there\u2019s no doubt about that in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But to get to a Champions League final was great for them. It was great to see them reach the final.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the start of the year I really thought Spurs would push Man City and Liverpool a lot, lot closer. Tottenham have got a great team, with Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Son \u2013 I thought this could be their year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it\u2019s been a disappointing start for them for sure and they need to turn it around quickly, but I still think they\u2019ll finish third.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Squawka has partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/homefans\/\">Homefans<\/a> to give you an opportunity to experience some of the game&#8217;s biggest derby days during the 2019\/20 season.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/homefans-trip-experience-local-giveaway-tickets\">Click here<\/a> to find out how to win tickets, flights and accommodation to Roma&#8217;s Serie A game against Napoli on November 2nd 2019.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/homefans-trip-experience-local-giveaway-tickets\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1110670 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/14112745\/home-fans-featured-image-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Homefans Squawka Competition\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/14112745\/home-fans-featured-image-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/14112745\/home-fans-featured-image-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/14112745\/home-fans-featured-image-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/14112745\/home-fans-featured-image-66x37.jpg 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/14112745\/home-fans-featured-image-620x350.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/14112745\/home-fans-featured-image-940x530.jpg 940w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/10\/14112745\/home-fans-featured-image.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has admitted he would have loved to have managed Liverpool during his career.
