Paul Merson discusses Tottenham’s Premier League title run this Season
Spurs’ season is off to the best start under new boss Ange Postecoglou. The Lilywhites lead the Premier League going into the international break after winning six and drawing two of their first eight league games.
The group has embraced Ange-ball with great speed, as seen by their performances, which have delighted Spurs supporters and produced favorable outcomes. With players like Heung-min Son and Yves Bissouma returning to form, it appears the Australian is getting the best out of his team.
James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario, and Micky van de Ven—all summer additions—are also thriving in their new environments.
However, it is unclear how long Spurs can stay in the race, even though they are already being regarded as possible title challengers. Paul Merson, in an interview with Sky Sports, expressed his doubt that the Lilywhites will be the team to beat at the end of the season.
After defeating Luton, Merson remarked, “It was a funny game.” The opening fifteen minutes of the match had me sitting there thinking, “Given how many chances they missed, the game would have been over if Harry Kane was playing now.”
“After that, aside from the goal, Spurs didn’t seem to be able to score.” Let’s give them credit for persevering through a situation when they were down to 10 guys and managing to get through.
It is difficult even if I am aware that Luton is at the bottom. Although I believe Spurs finally dug in and shown a new side to Tottenham, they did give up a few chances.
In response to a question about where Spurs would finish this season, Merson said, “Fair play to them, they are top of the league right now. would they stay there? No, but that’s not the main argument.
“Next season would be an incredible season for Tottenham if they were to get into the Champions League.”
Though I sincerely don’t see us contending for the championship this season, it’s great to dream and perhaps we can stay in the race for as long as feasible. I would be more than satisfied with a top-four finish, as that would surpass my initial predictions for us at the beginning of the campaign.
Tottenham player ranked higher than Declan Rice and Lionel Messi this season so far
James Maddison was arguably the best addition the Spurs made this summer. At N17, the £40 million purchase has generated a lot of excitement. In the Premier League, the 26-year-old has directly contributed to seven goals for Tottenham.
In addition, Maddison has produced six significant opportunities, made 25 crucial passes for his teammates, and had 13 attempts on goal.
Because of the Spurs player’s outstanding individual start to the season, 90Min has ranked him among their top 20 players thus far. Above players like Declan Rice, William Saliba, and Lionel Messi, they placed Maddison at number eleven.
“The summer transfer to the Premier League? Without a doubt,” they wrote.
“With five assists so far, James Maddison has established himself as the primary creative force on an exciting Tottenham team.”
Based on available data, Maddison has not only been a wonderful acquisition for Tottenham—possibly the best in the league this summer—but he has also been a fantastic value.
He has given Spurs something they have been desperately lacking since Christian Eriksen left, even at just £40 million and with a rumored salary of £170,000 per week. In terms of the team and standings in the standings, Tottenham is currently in a strong position, and they intend to maintain this base of success after the break.
