Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has
criticised Roman Pavlyuchenko for storming down the tunnel against
Manchester City.
The Russia international striker reacted badly to being
substituted 15 minutes from time after making a mess of a simple
finish.
Unhappy with the manager's decision, he stormed
toward the dressing room instead of joining his team-mates on the
bench.
Redknapp admitted his disappointment in Pavlyuchenko's reaction,
saying the 27-year-old let the players and the fans down by
storming off.
"I don't like that," said the Spurs boss who applauded
sarcastically when Pavlyuchenko made his darting exit. "It's not
something I like. You're looking to scrap away.
"The fans are here and paying their money to watch and I think
when a player runs down the tunnel without sitting down and
watching and getting behind the team, I think that is disrespectful
to his team-mates."
The striker's future looks far from certain at Spurs after an
inconsistent first season at White Hart Lane.
