Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports


Rennes suffered their second home loss of the season against Lille on Saturday (1-3). Les Rouge et Noir opened the scoring very early on thanks to a 28th second goal from Amine Gouiri. But the hosts faltered against the Paulo Fonseca-led side in the second half. Edon Zhegrova, Rémy Cabella and André Gomes scored to give the northern side a deserved win. Stade Rennais were without skipper Hamari Traoré and head coach Bruno Genesio gave the nod to Tottenham loanee Djed Spence (22) to occupy the defensive right flank.

As his teammates, the former Middlesborough player started brilliantly in the first half. The Englishman found pockets of space in Lille’s half and played his part defense-wise. Spence made a vital block in his box to deny Lille’s Canadian international striker Jonathan David. Unfortunately, Spence looked off the pace in the second half as Les Dogues dominated proceedings. He was replaced ten minutes from time by Norwegian international right-back Birger Meling.

Still, Genesio was convinced by what he saw from the Tottenham loanee. “His first half was very good. But he lacked rythm in the second“, said Genesio to L’Equipe. “It’s normal. Until now, he hasn’t play a lot with his former club. But he made a good impression for the future.
 
People really forget he won PFA Young Player of the Year four years before Poch really got hold of him.

He was absolutely brilliant in Redknapps last season.

Fuck me. I forgot how long Walker has been around...

I don't understand why people make such a big deal out of highlight reels. Any professional can have a good compilation but it doesn't show the most important part of a players game which is what they do off the ball.

Fergie bought Forlan on the strength of video footage.

😂
 
Geez what an ungrateful melter you are. Conte obviously has seen him in training, and who are we to question someone with his CV? Besides, this is nothing compared to what Emerson can pull off in his hyperbaric chamber.
Are you being sarcastic ? Cv? Look at the shit we’ve played all season? We sign. £47m WB and send this guy on loan just to satisfy cunte”s vanity’s. And his arrogance and vicious cunteness I’m not giving this guy a chance all bcos he was a club signing which he never failed to mention. Jose was bad at throwing players under the bus but contes treatment of Soence is just off the scale. He publicly made it clear he did not want him and proceeded to back that up by giving him stupid random
Minutes.

I was being sarcastic, of course. No one give a flying fuck what Emerson can or can't do in his hyperbaric chamber.

And agree- the entire history of Contes rating of players ought to be called into question. It's pretty clear he is, at best, prone to mistakes.
 
Poor half from Spence, the first goal resulted from his missed interception, and the pen they conceded resulted from a cross from his side.
