I think there has definitely been a long-term issue with Spence's work ethic, almost all his managers have not been impressed. Ange still doesn't seem to fully trust him and it's probably right to lay down a challenge to the player by making clear that he is still just keeping the seat warm for Udogie. He has to make himself undroppable.

If you watch the post game press conference, Ange absolutely does trust him. He said Djed being available was tne thing that gave him the confidence to rest VDV again today. He was absolutely gushing when talking about him taking on elite wingers like Mbuemo.
Djed is a positive story for the season mate. There is no need to look for negatives in it.
Don't think that's what he meant. I think he's basically saying Djed will have to hold down that LB position alone until Destiny gets back.
There is no way Djed goes back to the bench every week once Udogie is back. We will FINALLY have a FB rotation to keep them all fresh.
Best LB performance since he shut Salah down last month.
Maybe , just maybe, good coaching............
He's doing a pretty stand up job of doing that so far. Since he's got his shot at regular games, I can't think of a single one where he hasn't been a standout performer. With each game he just seems to get better and better.
If this kid keeps his head straight, the sky's the limit for him.
Literally our best player at the minute
His performance at LB this season has been brighter than Udogie.
Even the dwarf hitler deserves a bit of love here. Mad that’s he got so little recognition unless he needed tough love.Yeah fair's fair baldy cooked with that one.
It's time to give him his deserved dues, he doesn't get enough of that on here
Smashing player with a lot in his toolkit.
“A major turnaround for Djed would be for him to play regularly.”
Doesn’t seem like Ange ever really thought he could be particularly useful. That comment reads like sarcasm, but even if somehow interpreted as genuine sentiment, it’s hardly any sort of signal of confidence in a player.
Must have been sarcasm. Can't have been anything else.
You’re so deluded you can’t even manage a coherent reply. You’re not a serious poster- just a happy clapper who thinks they know football.
CL teams will be after him soon. Dude is elite
Without knowing why he didn’t get picked, its a lazy unfair assumption to make. At the risk of repeating myself without knowing why he didn’t even get close to the squad then the aspersion is fault lays with djed.
My theory’s it took him a while to recover from conte with Ryan and Ange making a poor fist of managing him after….. costing us a quality RB for one and half seasons
I'm the incoherent one here. OK buddy. Not you digging through old press conference quotes that you didn't watch and assuming sarcasm to fit your own weird obsession with finding negatives in a positive story for the team.
Djed has worked out at Spurs for the first time since he arrived in 2022. It's great news for the player, great news for the team, and great news for the club. Just be happy with it.
Whilst I agree with ya … in its better to celebrate the fact he’s made it
One thing I will say Rich
Is this; if a manager and there’s been 3 on our watch, can’t get a tune out of djed spence … he’s doing something wrong
I apply that to all 3. Conte Ryan & Ange
