Tottenham defender Michael Dawson is convinced that he and his team play the best football in the Premier League and are genuine contenders for the title this season.
The 28-year-old has only just come back from a long spell on the sidelines of course and after watching Spurs perform during this time, he is extremely excited by the way Harry Redknapp’s men play.
He said: “We’ve lost one in 18 and that doesn’t come easy, it comes with hard work and performing week in and week out.”
“I’ve been out for a long time and I’ve watched a lot of football and I’ve watched a lot of Tottenham.”
“I think the way we play with the pace we’ve got with [Gareth] Bale, [Aaron] Lennon and [Kyle] Walker and full-backs overlapping, we’re flying and playing really well.”
As for the ambitions for the season, Dawson believes Spurs are capable of challenging the two Manchester clubs for the title, but first and foremost, they need to guarantee a place in the top four.
The former Nottingham Forest man continued: “Our main aim is to be in the top four and to be in that Champions League spot and after the first two games losing the way we did, was disappointing.”
“We’re only just over halfway in the league and we’re in a great position.”
Next up for Dawson and Tottenham is a home game with Wolves before a crucial clash with league leaders Manchester City on the 22nd January.
Victory in these two games and Redknapp’s men will not only be in the mix for the title, but they could be leading the way. All of which is credit to how they have performed so far this season.
As for Dawson, he will simply hope to stay fit for the rest of the campaign and help Tottenham compete for major honours.
