W10 D3 L3, but we didn't really beat much of anybody nor did we advance in the table.
We did deliver a tonking at Villa Park I suppose.
All five of those players started in said tonking though.

We did deliver a tonking at Villa Park I suppose.
He is defensively terrible he can't head ball constantly gets by passed with flighted deliveries out to the wing. He is a bang average fullback. He'd have to be David Beckham with the ball to warrant a place above Spence. It's not even close. But he can ping a ball and score the odd screamer. He is vastly over rated.

Yep that's what I recall and we certainly were not 'better' than the first ten in any way I went to a lot of those games home and away.

It's early days for Spence - in our system of the fbs going forward a lot - you need to produce something offensively.
Spence has looked good- but his final ball and choice made going forward have not been fantastic.
I think we have good options
Same-ish levels we'd been at for a number of years.
To sell Harry Kane and still be able to do that was no mean feat. But title winning form it was not either.
One of the few that could hold his head high after that shambles of a game.
He has created assists with some outrageous passes of the outside of his boot. I'm sorry but he's been better than. Porro in everything that matters.
I think Porro is probably better pure striking technique, but Spence creates every bit as much as him with his running abilities. I'm sure he's got plenty of technique to hit a ball in his locker too. Porro obviously thought is much worse than Spence defensively.
Porro has 2 goals and five assists in 24 matches
Spence has 0 goals and 1 assist in 15 matches.
There is a danger that Spence is not effective coming forward. Time will tell
Spence is being played out of his best position though, unlike Porro.
Our best player again yesterday imo.
I doubt he gets that chance, unless he wins the Europa he will be dismissed in the summer
Spence needs to be given a go at right back before anyone can make a judgement , just for balance play him there and Regi left back . Give the opposition something to think about as opposed to the freedom of the left wing .
I don’t know how he’s doing it but he’s the only one who isn’t regressing week on week playing under Ange.
Likely because he hasn't played the whole season and should be one of the freshest players on the pitch.
He’s also had to play like he’s had something to prove. A few of the others don’t have to do that, they’re already made in football terms. Fair play to him, he’s put some of the senior players to shame.
How do you feel about that and why would a manager sell a better player than the one he regular picks for the team?
Why do you think that is happening?
How many goals against has Porro cost Spurs?
Pedro Porro is playing at right back.
A case could be made for playing Porro on the wing, in rotation with Brennan but; Spence is the best Spurs have as a full back.
Spence can defend and attack.
Also; Spence can't put outswinging crosses in down the left.
If Spence plays 24 games down the right, instead of Porro, that would tell you more regarding stats so far at Spurs.
If Ange can't see that Spence is better than Porro he deserves the sack.
If Ange has been leaving Spence out for the last two seasons, on someone elses say so, I want Ange sacked.
THFC has a disease.
It needs to be correctly diagnosed before we move forward.
