Harry Redknapp defends his decision to play Gareth Bale on the right flank.

Harry Redknapp has defended his decision to play Gareth Bale on the right flank during Tottenham Hotspur's 1-0 defeat to Everton on Saturday.

The Welsh winger, who normally plays on the left, started on the right before reverting to the opposite flank in the second half.

"The right is a problem area for us at the moment," Redknapp admitted. "We haven't a natural wide-right player apart from Aaron Lennon but Gareth can play there.

"People who moan don't understand the game. People switch wingers now.

"Bale likes playing there. He plays there for Wales and Gary Speed played him there all the time."

Spurs are currently third in the Premier League with 53 points from 28 games.
