Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes believes he has turned the corner in his fledgling Spurs career.
He said: ''I think everyone here helped me (early in the season). It was a difficult game for me today, but I think now I am in great form.''Defender Michael Dawson praised his goalkeeper for his late save, adding: ''It's an excellent save in the final few minutes. He has kept us in it today.''To get a point off Manchester United is great, but full credit has to go to the big fella.''Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes believes he has turned the corner in his fledgling Spurs career after helping Harry Redknapp's side claim a goalless draw at home to Manchester United tonight.Gomes has had a torrid time at White Hart Lane since arriving from PSV Eindhoven in the summer, but has seemingly regained his confidence following the arrival of Redknapp in October. He said: ''I think everyone here helped me (early in the season). It was a difficult game for me today, but I think now I am in great form.''Defender Michael Dawson praised his goalkeeper for his late save, adding: ''It's an excellent save in the final few minutes. He has kept us in it today.''To get a point off Manchester United is great, but full credit has to go to the big fella.''Redknapp was also full of praise for Gomes, although he did not rule out the possibility of the club bringing in a new goalkeeper during the January transfer window.''He (Gomes) was excellent tonight,'' Redknapp said. ''Tony Parks has worked very hard with him in training and I think he has brought him out of himself.''We have seen a big lift in his performance.''People were wondering whether he was a world-class goalkeeper and I think now he is starting to show his quality.''I've got confidence in him. Whether we bring in another goalkeeper during January is another matter. I'm not saying we won't bring one in, but if he keeps producing those types of performances then we haven't got a problem.''Redknapp had seen his defensive plans thrown into chaos early in the match with Jonathan Woodgate forced off injured.With Ledley King also out, Redknapp was forced into a reshuffle with Dawson and Vedran Corluka a makeshift central defensive pairing.''We showed great character after that,'' Redknapp added. ''In the end I think it was a fair result. It was a good point.''''Any time you get a result against Manchester United you have done well.''United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was left frustrated by the result as his side failed to take advantage of Liverpool and Arsenal both being held to draws earlier today.''It is frustrating. I think we dominated the game, but we just needed a little bit of luck,'' Ferguson said.''Their goalkeeper made two fantastic saves at the end.''But you have to be worried about the counter-attack that you could lose it also. (Luka) Modric had a terrific shot near the end that just glanced over that could have embarrassed us.''He added: ''Tottenham are not an easy team to play, they are on a high at the moment. Since Harry has come in they have been rejuvenated.''It's not the worst result but I would have liked to have got an extra two points as that makes a huge difference.''After the draws today you hope to take advantage, but now hopefully there will be a draw tomorrow at Chelsea.''
