Jol is doing a good job, says Rafa

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez had words of support for Spurs chief Martin Jol after a season of intense speculation about his future.

"It has been a difficult situation for Spurs this season, they have been in the spotlight all the time," Benitez said.

"But they have a good squad, they spent some money and they have a very good manager doing a good job.

"I remember last season when they progressed well and finished in the top five.

"He will need time after signing new players, but they still have a very good team and they will start winning, hopefully only after this weekend."
