Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
I think Djed should request a transfer to a serious club.
Spurs treatment of Spence is bordering on criminal.
He is now the best left back, left winger and right back at the club.
Wherever he is asked to play he rarely lets himself or Spurs down.
However; he is constantly left out of the team altogether, played out of position and never gets a run of games in his strongest position.
If he displays any disatisfaction with being subbed off, left on the bench, or ommitted from the squad he is accused of having an attitude problem.
Meanwhile the captain of the team, and member of the leadership group, often runs around like a psychotic bell end, accumulates more cards than Card Factory, and often can't be bothered to put in any effort or turn up at all.
Only at Spurs since 2001.

Couldn't agree with you more. After waiting nearly two years to make his debut . He should actually loath us. Its funny how some 'fans' will make all kinds of excuses for Micky and Cootie but Spence is the devil because Brexit Warnock and once said something about him.
This exactly. But the clubs weird. And I have little faith in Frank. With Spence I think he needs to be kicked but also coached and encouraged to improve. Ive said a few times I watched Pochettino walk players through positioning especially the fullbacks. But after watching Franks decision making...can't say I think he will be any better than Postanoclue at actually player development.
Never feel like anything’s going to come from him. Final pass or ball is rarely the right choice or execution. Same as Udogie. Just don’t get excited when they get in behind in the final third. Porro gets shit but at least he normally makes good choices and his delivery can be good on occasions.
Lol...yes Porro is the answer. He got hooked today because he fucking stunk are you high?
porro is in a different stratosphere to the pair of them. at least he can actually put a dangerous ball into the box and pass the ball forward.
udogie and spence are just braindead athletes. offer us nothing when it comes to actual football. absolute shit shit show to watch.
people were calling for spence to go on the right, to do what? run into dead ends? hang onto the ball far too long and miss easy passes for us to play out? school boy shit.
What do you disagree with there. Porro was poor on the ball in our half today, maybe why he got subbed, but get him in the final third he’s capable of producing the odd bit of quality. Spence isn’t.
He hoodwinks people a bit because he travels with it in the midfield third fairly well. His timing and choice of pass and execution is awful most of time. can have 1 or 2 players like that but we’ve got too many.
Imagine having Robertson’s leadership and experience out there instead of him 
the best sides dont have any do they. we have far too many, we cant get basic triangles going, it really is like watching school boys, everyone thinks its all about them getting the ball and running into dead ends with it, state of it.
so many simple passes are either timed poorly or the pass is misplaced, its fucking shocking. if you cant get some basic triangles going and the ball popped about while being in control then youre not a good side at all....which is why we are where we are!
If you have a bit of pride or attitude people that people don't like, they will hate you for it. At another club his swagger would be embraced, but here it's oddly discouraged... Think how Chelsea would love to have him- James-esque swag.
Aka we could have a dope THFC streetwear collection featuring Djed and Simons, but that future won't happen since the club are too busy selling towels and mugs and corporate suites.
Spence is mid.
Fine as a rotation option but he shouldn't be starting.

Porro is a far better attacking full back than either Spence or Udogie — neither of whom have much of an end product. I can make an excuse for Spence because he’s being played out of position and struggles to use his left foot — although I did see a couple of decent cutbacks vs Dortmund.
Porro is also a worse defensive fullback who has been overused for a couple of years. Time to rotate full backs on the right.

This is as much down to lack of support and giving the player a reasonable out ball as anything else.
So many times you see a player totally isolated along a wing with no one within seven yards or more.
