    Raw stats on a page without proper analysis are not a good way of proving anything , there are so many variables that are not considered. What was clear was that during our run in he was crucial to us staying up.

    Kevin Danso

    It's because he, Palhinha and Kinsky were the most important players in saving us from the drop. And because he has a skillset seemingly lacking in his defensive partners. Defending is a team function but we seem to lack roll up your sleeve type players. These things make him different from the...

    Partly from the official website actually.

    Quantitative data imho tells only part of the story. Here's a more qualitative analysis :- Danso became an absolute foundational piece for De Zerbi’s structural turnaround. [1] The Crucial Run-In: Danso started six of De Zerbi's final seven matches. Defensive Resilience: In those crucial...

    We did, and all defenders make mistakes. But the stats point to him being the defender whose presence generally leads to fewer goals conceded. The eye test says the same.

    I know it's a drum I've been beating for 2 seasons now but in the PL, our fortunes will only change if we can defend properly as a team. We have already lost one aggressive dueler in Palhinha and it looks like we are losing another in Danso. It's likely we will score more goals now but bloody...

    I think we should ignore the 24/25 season given that attacking was heavily prioritised over defence. Looking at stats using AI, for last season this is what is said about Spence. (Take it as you want to). Tottenham Hotspur (2025–26 Premier League) The impact of Spence on Tottenham's backline...

    But we conceded more when he started than Danso. We were more solid in those final games with Danso next to VDV

    That's a huge mistake imho. Unbelievable given this guys defensive contributions was one of the major reasons we stayed up.

    Then we will still keep conceding soft goals. Any style has to start from a solid defensive base. Van Hecke played with a water carrier next to him at Brighton. If you put Van hecke Porro and VDV in a defence together we will be more open. And it is likely a season of struggle will follow.

    Apparently so but I'm sure you could confirm that yourself.

    Spence was mainly used as a left back and we conceded fewer goals in matches where Danso started than when both VDV and Romero started.

    I can accept some disjointed play but the defence is not good and given the strengths of the personnel in it, I'm not sure time is going to make much difference. We've basically replaced Romero with Van Hecke and its the same poor back 4 we've seen for 2 seasons. Of the actual defenders one has...

    They were not the regulars.. That was Vic, Porro Van der Ven and Romero. When Danso and Kinsky came in we were more solid and even more so with Spence next to Danso on the right.

    The defence should be a unit. But they are not performing as one at the moment. Also watched Saudi Sportswashing Machine get Wissa and Elanga into the pocket between our defence and midfield. Less said about their second goal the better. We went 2-0 down with nearly half an hour to go but Saudi Sportswashing Machine kept a...

    This season should be different from last season with the money spent but same old issues, concede goals while unable to score. Doesn't look good so far.

    I said it when we were fighting relegation last season. If you can't defend you are in trouble in this league with so many tight games. I thought RDZ would realise that but instead went out to buy ball playing defenders instead of ones who could actually defend. We got caught defensively for...

    Kevin Danso

    Arguably our best defensively minded defender. Plus weighs in with odd goal. We need to keep him.

    The signing I've been waiting for since the start of the summer. Come be a success please Omar!

    I would have serious concerns around that CB partnership steff. Saudi Sportswashing Machine have shown they are pacey and direct.
