DAWSON LOOKING FORWARD

Michael Dawson looks forward to his team’s upcoming match against the arch rivals Arsenal which will get underway at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. That will be a cup encounter and the Spurs will enter it with a lot of self confidence. Their performance since the arrival of the new manager has been first class.

In their last outing against the defending league champions Manchester United, the Spurs had won by 2-1.
Although Arsenal’s form at the moment is much better than that of the Red Devils but, they are not an unbeatable side by any means. Also, in recent times, they have been hit by some injuries. So, it’s certainly not impossible for Tottenham to get better of them and Dawson knows that.

Talking to the reporters yesterday, the veteran defender said, “We have played fearlessly of late and we will continue playing the same way against Arsenal too. It’s a clash between the two north London clubs and winning it would be quite sweet.”

“Whenever we go onto the field with our Tottenham jersey on, we try to give our 100% and we would do exactly the same this weekend too. We take pride in winning matches for the club.”

“There are times when you don’t manage to stick to your plans and get undesired results. It happened with us, but, we stood together and as a result, things have now started to go in our favour.”

Dawson is one of the veteran players of Tottenham. This is his 9th year at White Hart Lane. He has played a total of 220 league matches for the Lilywhites so far and 7 times, he has managed to find the net.

His form is going to be crucial for the Spurs as he is a key part of their defence.

WARY OF LIVERPOOL

Tottenham defender Michael Dawson has said that the club are extremely wary of the threat posed by Liverpool as they go into the match hoping to maintain their top four ambitions prior to Christmas.

There is a lot of pressure on manager Andre Villas-Boas after the recent run of results, which included a 6-0 drubbing at the hands of title challengers Manchester City. Dawson has accepted that it has been a poor spell for the club, but he is confident that things will soon turn for the better.

Dawson came close to leaving the club last summer, but he has now regained his importance within the team as the club captain following the departure of William Gallas.

He has identified Luis Suarez as the major threat ahead of the match. The Uruguayan was subjected to much transfer rumours in the summer, but he has put behind all of them to focus on doing extremely well for the club. He is the top scorer in the Premier league and he is set to overtake the likes of Sergio Aguero and Daniel Sturridge with ease.

“He is so direct. He faces you up and he works to get his shots off. His control his excellent and he scores goals from anywhere. You have to watch him all the time. You dare not lose your concentration because you can get punished. He is certainly full of confidence. In many ways he is like Sergio Aguero at Manchester City. I have never been beaten that heavily before. The week after that was a long week,” said Dawson ahead of the Liverpool encounter.

Dawson has revealed that the 6-0 defeat against City was one of the worst defeats in his career. Prior to this match, Tottenham had one of the best defensive records in the league.
