‘He’s an animal’: Chris Sutton left blown away by ‘super aggressive’ Tottenham ace
Chris Sutton recently shared his thoughts on Tottenham Hotspur’s impressive resurgence, especially highlighting one player he’d dread facing.
As the team approaches the international break, they are in a much better position, following a dominant 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
With two crucial matches still on the horizon—an away fixture against Ferencváros and a clash with Brighton—Tottenham could extend their winning streak to six across all competitions. Such a run would effectively erase the memory of their sluggish start to the season.
A major contributor to Tottenham’s resurgence is Brennan Johnson, who has shown his determination to prove himself on the pitch.
After facing harsh criticism and even deleting his social media in response to fan abuse, Johnson appears to be in a much better place mentally.
His recent performances have demonstrated his commitment to helping Spurs climb the Premier League table.
However, during a recent episode of BBC’s “Monday Night Club,” Chris Sutton shifted the spotlight to another standout player—Cristian Romero.
Sutton expressed his admiration for Romero, particularly following Tottenham’s win over Manchester United.
Romero, along with Micky van de Ven, kept a clean sheet in the game, with van de Ven even assisting Johnson’s opener with a remarkable run.
While Romero nearly added his own name to the scoresheet with a stunning volley, it was his defensive tenacity that caught Sutton’s attention.
Sutton didn’t hold back in his praise for Romero, labeling him an “animal” on the pitch and someone he’d hate to go up against.
He pointed out Romero’s aggressive style of play, noting how he uses his body and attacks the ball with incredible intensity.
According to Sutton, Romero’s physical presence and fearlessness make him a force to be reckoned with in defense, describing his performance as “phenomenal.”
Dominic Solanke also played a significant role in Tottenham’s win at Old Trafford, and like Johnson, he has faced his own set of challenges.
After just 180 minutes in a Spurs shirt, critics were already discussing his supposed “goal drought.” However, Solanke silenced his doubters by scoring Tottenham’s third goal, showcasing his instincts as a poacher.
Despite the early criticism, Solanke’s goal was a turning point, and he earned praise from his teammates, including James Maddison, who gave him a small piece of advice for further improvement.
The mood around Tottenham has certainly shifted in recent weeks. With Johnson and Solanke stepping up and Romero anchoring the defense, Spurs have shown they have the talent to compete.
If they can secure two more wins before the international break, the narrative surrounding their season could shift from one of a lackluster start to one of a team on the rise.
The next two fixtures will be crucial in maintaining this momentum, and the team will need big performances to ensure they head into the break on a high note.
