Player Destiny Udogie

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

winner comes from him fucking about trying to shield it...put your foot through it and clear our lines ffs. all that shielding is doing is allowing them to come up and squeeze us. then hes lacklustre in the resulting throw in, gets done and they score. dog shit! needs to be dropped after today, you cant allow performances that bad to not be punished. spence or gray deserves a chance now. at fault for all fucking 3 goals.

tries to play the game too relaxed for my liking. this aint italy, and he aint a silky number 10. hes a fullback that needs to be intense and switched on.
 
Still looks a few percent off it to me after that injury. But it's easy to forget that he's young and still adapting. He'll likely be back to his best soon enough.

All that said, what a fuck muppet he was today. 50 shades of dumb. Make him wash the kits.
 
He has been mr reliable since he arrived at the club but today was as bad as it could get.
Under 8's defending for the first goal shameful!!!!!
if you miskick a clearance that poorly then you have to put your body on the line and throw yourself on the ground but instead he just dallied like a geriatric gifting BHA a goal and a little bit of belief at a cruical time in the game.
The 2nd goal - i think VDV was more at fault Udogie done his best trying to Cover the overload on that side of the pitch and showed Rutter onto his weaker left foot just a composed instinctive finish
The 3rd goal was embarrassing from a team point of view Udogie played a huge part in that again by being so easy
to get by - but he wasnt the only one at fault and 4 other players had a chance to close Rutter down or put a challenge in before he got his flukey cross in for Welbeck to win the game.
We were undone today due to overloading on our left and terrible individual errors effectively shooting ourselves in the foot from what was a very dominant and composed half of football.

looking at Udogie's rise since his arrival im sure he will take lessons from todays match and work on making the necessary improvements to his game
when added to the positive attributes he already possesses he'll become a much better well rounded player (he's still only 21 years young) .
It certainly was a steep learning curvefor him
One positive for Udogie from today was his great closing down which lead to Brennan Johnsons opener
which may i add was a fantastic goal

Im also not prepared to throw the towel in on Ange after todays capitulation thats the type of performance that changes sides from losers to winners if you learn your lesson, personally hindsight is a beautiful thing but think i would've taken Werner off at HT, pushed Udogie to LW (offers far more than Werner defensively when overloaded on that side and clearly Udogie is not at 100% fitness right now)
VDV play at left back to inject pace down that side and put Draguisin in at CB to make us more of a solid physical areial presence in the middle with Welbeck.

Yes BHA got the 3 points today (and full respect to them for showing the type of dogged determination any good side should have).
I have no doubt all the Tottenham players and Big Ange will learn from it as a team and not make the same mistakes again.

Ange despite what some muppets on here say has always found a way to adapt his sides into winners he has done that by making mistakes and learning on the job to make the necessary small tweaks that are needed.
Todays 2nd half performance was shocking but there is a hell of alot to like about the club and certain players right now and that is down to the manager too.

COYS

The Mistakes came because the team downed tools (got too comfortable were settled on there first half performance) - Ange said himself it wasnt about making substitutes
 
Kid believes his own hype way too much, that's one issue.

Lazy is another. Lack of IQ the final straw at that level.

A few good games here & there are nowhere near enough, regardless of age.

But yeah sure, plenty good enough for a side happy with finishing 4th-8th.

Well has our defending improved in a year. Are we still easy score against? yes we are. Everyone who watched that game could see we needed changes but ange waited till 80 min when losing to bring on 2 midfielders when we needed to change the game half hour before that. Were not good enough to get a 4 goal lead which it seems is what we need to be safe now.
Ive backed ange 100% but the second half was a complete and utter collapse and showed our piss poor mentality. He stood there shaking his head watching Romero and Udogie fall apart and leave them on

So you're doubling down on the idea that if all your players "downed tools" you should just ignore it?

Cracking stuff.

All im trying to say is Ange does whatever he wants because HE IS THE MANAGER
We will be on here saying hes wrong for not making subs earlier and having any meaningful impact on proceedings but what about the times hes made subs and they have turned out to change games
We are far too quick to criticise when there are faults and he isnt praised enough when everything's ticking along nicely
 
Time and time again, this guy loses focus and feel relaxed once we take the lead - how Angie did not take him out after the second concession is beyond me
