After a good start to his career with Spurs following his £12million arrival from Wigan in the January of 2009, the 26-year-old has experienced a dip in form. Palacios was booed by Tottenham followers in last Sunday's eventual 2-1 win over Liverpool as the Reds led at half-time. Redknapp's men staged a second-half comeback and Palacios improved, but there are concerns over the central midfielder's self-belief. "On Sunday, Wilson had a little spell where he kept giving the ball away," said Redknapp in the Daily Star. "He lost the ball a lot and his confidence went. But in the second half he showed some character. The problem is confidence." Palacios is expected to stay in Tottenham's first XI as Tom Huddlestone is injured and Sandro is still acclimatising to English conditions.
