While performances like the one the Lilywhites have delivered this season, especially at home, may have been brushed under the carpet at the Gtech Community Stadium, that has not been the case at N17.<\/p>\n
Spurs\u2019 recent displays have been likened to those of a League Two side<\/a>, with the Dane finding it difficult to shake off the tag of being a defensive manager.<\/p>\n Some pundits have said that Spurs are struggling for an identity under Frank<\/a>, and are too reliant on set pieces to score goals.<\/p>\n However, Danso<\/a> insisted that while Tottenham do work hard on set-pieces, they have shown that they are more than capable of scoring goals in open play.<\/p>\n When asked about the idea that the Lilywhites are over-reliant on set-pieces, the Austrian told The Standard<\/a>: \u201cUnder the new manager with attention to details, we\u2019ve shown we\u2019re really strong in set pieces this season compared to other seasons maybe.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we showed on Tuesday we\u2019re not just a set-piece team. We can score goals in different ways. We want to be good at all aspects of the game. That\u2019s the goal. You never know on the day what you might need to win the game.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, it\u2019s not us that creates the narrative. We just want to go out and win the game. Sometimes it is through a set piece that you edge the game or open the scoring. Sometimes free-flowing football will win you the game. Our goal with the manager is to be as effective as we can on all fronts.\u201d<\/p>\n Danso reveals what Frank is like behind the scenes at Spurs<\/p>\n Despite the harsh criticism that he has come his way, the Tottenham head coach<\/a> has remained quite calm in his press conferences and has not reacted the way some of his predecessors have.<\/p>\n![\"Kevin](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kevin-danso-330-1024x682.jpg\")
