Tottenham Hotspur midfielder bemoans lack of playing time

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Steven Pienaar, who has made a loan move to Everton, has claimed that the lack of playing time at White Hart Lane was “killing his spirit”.
Pienaar made the last-gasp transaction back to Everton on Tuesday evening where the South African left just 12 months ago to join Tottenham where he wanted to participate in Champions League football.
However, Pienaar’s opportunities have been extremely limited this season and the winger has been given a total of just 16 minutes in the Premier League during 2011/12.
Speaking on Twitter, Pienaar said: “Mixed emotions 2 leave Spurs on loan 2 Everton. Disappointed I couldnt get in a playing groove on a regular basis&show the fans the real me.
“Manager [Harry Redknapp] needs to make his choices, I understand, but I love playing & just can’t sit so much on the bench. It was killing my spirit.
“Very thankful that Spurs management allowed me to go on loan and I’m very happy it could be to Everton, a club close to my heart.”
Pienaar will return to Spurs at the end of the season where he has a contract until 2015.
