Match West Ham (A) - BYOB (Bring your own binoculars) - 13th Sep, 530KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Spence seems to have plateaued for me. As an overlap he lacks the ability to beat a man and the attack invariably dissolves into nothing.
Romero persists in walking with the ball and just tapping it to the nearest player. Slows the game down all the time.
Spence is great 1v1 defensively. Offers very little going forward.

Udogie is not as good defensively or technically but is left footed and does get into the box more.

Neither are going to be big attacking contributors over a season.
 
Can't even be bothered with the Tel hate here. Spence has been dreadful yet not a single word. Tel has had almost no service, and is still running his bollocks off. It's like most people here want the kid to fail, just to be "proven right". Weird.

Cristian Romero’s goal should have stood. West Ham’s goalkeeper pushes his own player into Micky Van der Ven, who then collides with Kyle Walker-Peters but the Tottenham player didn’t initiate that contact. We’ve watched it back numerous times and you can see he doesn’t push Walker-Peters over.

The referee has given the decision on the field and because of that VAR is reluctant to intervene but that’s what they’re there for. We’d like to see more goals given and it’s the wrong decision, which is frustrating.
 
Absolutely robbed for that goal

Shameful decision

We look a threat at set pieces and there have been a few nice bits of play here and there but we're playing without an actual striker upfront and don't really look like creating anything from open play again
