Unfortunately, there is a lot to dislike about this Tottenham Hotspur squad. Many of the players are not good enough, not at all interested in the plight of the club, or are spending their time pointing fingers and blaming others instead of actually improving their own games.
But there are a few Spurs players who still have the respect of the fans despite the team almost sealed in their fate to go down to the EFL Championship. Here are three of them.
CM Archie Gray
Going forward, Archie Gray is going to be the most valuable asset to Tottenham Hotspur, and as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich circle like the birds of prey that they are around Spurs for a potential peck at signing Gray this summer, the Lilywhites know they cannot afford to lose their deep lying playmaker.
Even when Spurs have been objectionably terrible these last several games, Gray has grown more and more in importance and quality. He is the one guy who can make the right moves in the build up phases with the courage to receive and progress in tight spaces.
CB Kevin Danso
Big Kevin Danso is far from the biggest name on the Tottenham Hotspur team sheet, but you can make a strong case that he should be a starter for Spurs and has been better than bigger names Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero this season. With Romero done for the rest of the year, Danso will be right in the mix as a weekly starter.
People seem to forget that before coming to North London, Danso was one of the best players in Ligue 1. He is a great passer, dominant in the air, and a nice character to have in the locker room. Only the most bitter of Spurs fans has negative words for the Austrian international.
LW Mathys Tel
Finally, Mathys Tel has been the attacking version of Archie Gray, and it is a shame that his surrounding forwards are as woeful as they are. Because if Tel had a better striker next to him, he would be registering more goals and assists.
Tel still has consistency to learn and a lot of room to grow, but the young Frenchman is the best attacking player on Tottenham right now with Mohammed Kudus, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski all down for the count. His effort and love for the club are apparent.
