Djed Spence genuinely good now? Seems to recall previous Spurs managers ignoring him for too long


Shit hot 1v1 defender, much like Tino. The wings would be locked down with those two starting at the world cup.

Yeah, he was our best player for a stretch last year. Awkward start because Conte didn't want him "club signing" and I presume was ignoring him on principle, then more than one loan manager had unspecified issues with him. There was a point when we literally could not believe he wasn't getting a game, then he finally played and nearly single-handedly kept us in the cup against Cov. Then he didn't play again for a while. It was nuts.

 

There is an entirely plausible theory that it was brilliant man-management by Ange in the end. Spence has been really good ever since. He's incredibly fast - supposedly faster than Van de Ven at times - and is making a very justifiable case to be one of the best one-on-one defending fullbacks in the league. Been better at LB tbh.

Not watched but nice to see something a bit more inspiring. How the fuck did we only put three past bloody Andorra across two games, man? :lol:

 

We said it at the time, and Tuchel said it openly afterwards. It's bloody hard to break down a low block and two or three players were simply not pulling their weight. I think Kane was very clearly told to stay as the 9, but as Tuchel said, Eze didn't do what he was supposed to and Rashford wasn't up to it either.
