I've said for months we are going to end up with half the player he should be. He needs playing at rightback for six months. And I no longer care if that's at Porro's expense because hes better than him. This is an oddly cowardly bit of management from Frank and Spurs in general. We are going to diminishing our own asset.

Maybe frank would love to rotate him with porro but unfortunately he only has one left back and he's always injured
I think he’s the best 1v1 full back I’ve seen since prime Walker but as a modern full back I don’t think he offers much on the ball. I know he plays on the left for us but never a threat going forward. Maybe we’d see more if he played on the right. Porro is so up and down so when Udogie is back I’d like to see him play there because I’m not sure if he’s got the tools to be a top full back when on the ball and attacking.
I sort of agree except that Udogie is also shite going forward. Brilliant carrier and gets into great positions but he's scared of doing anything in the final third. Will always look around for someone else to make the killer pass/shot even when he has worked the space himself
Agree 100%. I’m tired of seeing Porro played RB all the time- how about we give him some games at LB?
Arrived as an attacking RWB. Scored 20 yard screamers for Forest, has pace to Burn..,
He’s definitely not offering much going forward but it’s not from lack of ability
I don’t think we’ve seen anything that he’s capable of going forward which is sad because what he produced at Forest made us think we were getting this brilliant Kyle Walker type full back. If he plays on the right he might find that confidence and play that way again. He’s got a call up for England because nobody can beat him on a 1v1. He’s a ridiculous athlete and he should be using that as a weapon not just defensively but in the opposition final third.
I like Porro but he’s annoying me just now and would prefer Spence there but with Udogie out that won’t happen. We could play Micky at left back but now Romero is out that means it’s Porro right back and Spence left back.
He’s very negative on the ball for me. Good defender and feel safe when he’s up against a winger but offers nothing going forward.
Really is struggling to contribute offensively from LB. Wish he could get more games on the right to find some form there- might be able to think about what is working for him there and how to translate it to the left side.
We are going to have to start singing that song...."He plays on the right he plays on the right Djed Spence he plays on the right." Mind you the same people were calling g Udogie names last season and dont get thd Italian can't seem to stay fit.
We all are - it's clearly instruction at the moment. Add to that the chopping and changing of our players on the left and it's hard to build a rapport. I don't think Spence is negative by temperament.
Thought he was good defensively especially after Ndiaye did him early doors.
Porro and Djed should be rotating.
Levy needed a LB and a LCB in the summer, but what we need, is not part of the Levynomics equation.
Udogie is never fit so if he plays on the right who on the left?
Gentle Ben or Archie gray
When he got into the team last he was making good runs travelling with the ball and made some great forward passes. Not sure he seems to be playing within himself. Almost scared to make a mistake.
Good away from home to nullify a threat but on the left he wont be a threat going forward .
Im one o Djeds biggest fans but apart from nice little through ball in final third of 2nd half,he offered nothing offensively whole game.
All passes where back and couple sideways that i remember.
Def not doing him any favours on the left and sooner The Big Dog back can hopefully rotate with Pedro.
Archie filled in well there but that lad on the right would have roasted him.
Great result ,but that left side is an issue as most teams know Kudos on the right is our main threat as stands,and will be doubled up on stifling him.
