Neil Warnock: 'We respected Tottenham Hotspur too much'

QPR boss Neil Warnock believes that his side showed Spurs too much respect during their 3-1 defeat at White Hart Lane.

Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock believes that his side showed Tottenham Hotspur too much respect during their 3-1 defeat at White Hart Lane.

The R's were 2-0 down at half-time thanks to goals from Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart.

Rangers got a goal back after the break from Jay Bothroyd, but they were ultimately undone by another Bale strike.

"We gave them a game in the second-half," Warnock told Sky Sports News. "[At half-time] we said 'let's try to get the next goal'.

"We probably respected them a bit too much in the first half.

"It was nice to see them get a bit figdgety on the bench at 2-1."

The defeat has left the Loftus Road club in 12th place in the Premier League table.
