‘I see a future captain’ – Tottenham fans want Kevin Danso to play every remaining match
Tottenham Hotspur supporters have reacted to Kevin Danso’s steady performance in the Premier League draw with Liverpool.
In terms of lifting the mood around a place, Tottenham Hotspur’s latest 1-1 draw with Liverpool is as big as it gets.
That singular point brought a halt to Tottenham’s run of four defeats on the bounce in all competitions and also ensured Spurs maintained their one-point lead over their relegation rivals.
It was a result earned in difficult circumstances, with Igor Tudor’s side severely depleted because of injuries, with 13 senior first-team players unavailable for selection in the Liverpool match.
Tottenham fans praise Kevin Danso after Liverpool performance
Several Tottenham players stood out, with Tudor even praising both Archie Gray and Pape Matar Sarr.
However, the Spurs faithful have now singled out Kevin Danso for praise following yet another reliable performance.
One supporter, when asked about their thoughts on the centre-back’s display, praised Danso for stepping up defensively alongside Radu Dragusin.
“Fantastic as always, stepped up, especially playing with Dragusin. Was all over the pitch and showed how his athleticism can help this team.”
Another fan simply highlighted how impressed they were with the defender’s performance.
“He had a great performance.”
One supporter even suggested Danso could one day captain the club because of his composure and consistency.
“Always strong and always level-headed. I see a future captain.”
Another fan praised his aerial presence while also offering a comparison with his defensive partner.
“He did well. Challenged aerially and looked miles better than Dragusin, who gives me palpitations. I wish we stop playing out from the back with those two, though.”
The praise continued with another supporter pointing to his consistency throughout the campaign.
“Immense! I have been saying Danso is our most consistent and reliable CB this season. He has more quality than people are giving him credit for. Has to play the remaining games.”
One more fan highlighted the overall defensive performance while singling out Danso’s display.
“Danso was superb today. Many good performances, it is what we needed, even more than getting a scrappy point. We have belief, some fight and I feel much better that we are up for the scrap. Well done lads.”
A final supporter concluded by calling for the defender to feature more regularly.
“Outstanding. Solid. Needs to be playing more.”
Spurs analysis: Kevin Danso numbers vs Liverpool
Danso was only signed last year in the winter transfer window, and each time he has pulled on a Tottenham shirt, he has put in a solid 7/10 performance.
The Austrian rarely has a bad game for Spurs, especially in comparison to his fellow centre-backs Cristian Romero, Radu Dragusin and Micky van de Ven.
The underlying numbers also show just how good Danso was against Liverpool, with the centre-back contributing heavily in defensive phases while also helping Spurs progress the ball.
