Tudor sprung a surprise by dropping regular keeper Guglielmo Vicario for the last-16 first leg tie and handing Czech Kinsky his first start since October. But the move backfired in spectacular fashion as Tottenham conceded three goals in the opening 15 minutes -- two of them resulting from glaring errors by the young keeper. Tudor immediately sent on Vicario, the Croat standing stony-faced as a stunned Kinsky headed for the sanctuary of the dressing room. If that's man-management, I am flabbergasted," the former England keeper, who also had a spell at Tottenham, said. Support also came from former Manchester United keeper David de Gea.
