Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

No need for name calling.

His attitude is not the right though, and I think we see why he was not a preferred player under several managers.

Offer no more now than Ben Davies, so hope the latter stay in the team
 
I think Davies at LB showed the absolute benefit of having a left footed LB

Spence does well defensively, but he doesnt offer enough in attack from LB

Its like to see Spence have a run at RB to be honest, theres an argument to have him in as a more defensive presence in some games - even moving into a back 3 when we attack, allowing others to move forward/wide
 
Whats the point of playing him on the left when he cant cross with his left, and instead he inverts in central areas where his skillset, albeit poor should be utilised on the right?

Just simply passing to midfielders is not good enough when you attack with 11 and defend with 11.

At least then, Spence can cross the ball at RB and we bring in a senior LB. Not a 19yo Souza or an injury-prone Udogie that isnt consistent.

Frank is causing some of the damage himself, even though I believe the players capabilities aren't at the highest standard.
 
He should not be in the team or squad .
Just not a very good player - not good defensively and terrible ( other than the first 5 yards ) offensively. Udogie is a lot better

Sell - while he is worth anything
 
Djed is an excellent football player. Porro has fantastic stats from last season so Frank will naturally pick him in front of Spence.
Porro has been below par all season so let's hope the new manager can improve the outcomes.

We had a chance when Cuti was out suspended to try Djed as a pairing with Mickey,Ben left and Pedro right.
Big Kev just isnt the answer there although honest enough.
It was a missed opportunity as Djed has all the tools to play there as played there in youth teams and had remember great game there filling in one time. .. Plus on the right side would be able to give that extra cover to Pedro when needed.
 
I’d transfer him and his stogy out as part of the huge squad overhaul.

The attitude issues Warnock warned of have been much more prevalent this season.

We need a huge mindset overhaul.

Presumably you'd want rid of Van de Ven as well then seeing as he hasn't really shown anything exemplary as far as attitude is concerned either?
 
Do you need to be FFS?!

It’s plainly obvious VDV has tried to grab the game by the throat, whereas Spence …… Look how many sloppy touches he had when he came on giving it away and then failing to track back.

Haven't seen that myself when you say failing to track back like what example can you give? Not sloppy touches oh no.

It doesn't make sense to sell players like Spence before we upgrade on him anyway, that's not how you build a squad.
 
He's just a bit average and was overhyped

Good defensively can't beat a man or get a ball in. He's Emerson royal from England
Lol..he's way better he just been utterly ineptly developed, Pochettino would have made him a better fullback than Rose Spence starts from a way higher floor. Spence terrifies me because he has stalled playing wrong side and just like VDV STILL has holes in his game. Then I think about Moore, Williams-Barnett, Byfeild, Vuskovic and Ive zero faith in the clubs ability to teach them.

Playing fullback is all about position and having the physicality to go up and down attack space and understand distance to the touch line when facing opposing players. I played it and can tell when the fundamentals are missing. Oh and its clear he doesn't along with what looks like the entire back four and keeper have any respect for the current boss

He’s given the ball away and just given up to recover it a few times. I can’t remember the specific games. His performances nose dived after the England call up.

I’m not saying ship him out before we have a competent replacement in and there’s others I’d get shot of first, but he’s definitely one I’d want to upgrade upon as I just don’t like his attitude.
