He at least needs to be taking Gray's minutes at fullback from here on out (outside of EL until Jan).
If Udogie is out for a while it's time to give Spence a run.

Udogie wanted to carry on but Ange forced him off due to our situation
Have heard that before tbf. In any case our FBs need rotating more.
Hopefully tonight gives Ange some trust in Spence.
It seemed to be tiredness after about 75 mins - probably a result of him not playing too many 90 mina recently
But did well tonight - all the players did well tonight, Spence probably amongst the best performers.
A great assist in the first minute and also involved in 2nd goal, so definitely made an impression tonight, Hopefully the first of a number of appearances
Ange said in post match its been hard to give Spence mins with Gray there to cover - wtaf!? Covering himself there - he clearly has an issue with him.
I like Gray, looks a class prospect but Spence above him at RB is an absolute no brainer in any game.
Comms on my feed kept on chatting about Spence struggling with one of his legs too (but I didn't get a view of anything in real-time)..........
...........Fingers are crossed for all involved. It's Spurs afterall.
The dude clearly has favourites.
Spence must be absolute shite in training or something, it's the only explanation for him not being used more. Every time I've seen him recently he's been a big attacking threat and solid on the ball and defensively.
Took charge on his first run leading to a goal after 38 seconds
Got to start on Thursday
He played well. Hopefully he uses this game as the springboard to make a more consistent contribution.
With the talent he has, he shouldn’t find himself in a situation where he is only being played because the player in front of him is in abominable form. There’s obviously a reason that so many managers have not liked him but he’s got to overcome that and show his best self from now on. We also need Ange to give him a fair shot. He might not have wanted him but he’s here and we have to use him.

That was his first start for us, all comps, since we signed him in 2022.
That’s not good and I’d like to know the reason why especially him getting another contract!
Hopefully doors are now open for him as he had a good game
Thought he took his chance tonight.
Makes his omission from Europa squad even more baffling.
A really solid performance on both flanks.
Well done DJed.

Which would be a shame
If Gray had the pace that Spence has he'd be at Barcelona. When Spence attacks space he looks the real deal. He is good enough for International caps so the whole think is mad.
He looked strong too... A fair few times tonight he shrugged off an oppo player who was laying all over him.
Hopefully
