I struggle to understand why previous managers and to some degree Ange questioned his ability, as he has been a revelation so far
If his reputation is anything to go by, I suspect an England call up is probably one of the worst things that could happen at the moment. He needs to keep his feet on the ground and focus on nailing a first team spot for his club first.Playing really well. Hope Tuchel is watching.
I really don't. This is recency bias, but that's not to say he doesn't and hasn't always had ability. I think that's been clear to see when he was at Forest, and I was a big fan then. But seeing him plenty since then, he certainly was far from perfect or reliable on the pitch, especially defensively. Then there's the constant talk of 'attitude' (which from most of the quotes from caches regarding 'professionalism' more accurately than a bad attitude), it's clear his biggest issue wasn't coaches not recognizing his qualities.I struggle to understand why previous managers and to some degree Ange questioned his ability, as he has been a revelation so far

Not sure if this mob are genuine but it backs up the eye test from last night.
I thought he had a v difficult time at left back vs Newcastle and actually looked better once he went inside to CB. But last night he was absolutely immaculate. His composure alone was seriously impressive. The fact that he can play on both sides makes him so valuable.

I think it was him that swung in a cross that Kinsky "saved" dropped it so he didn't carry it over the line and then got it back - which may be a shot or a cross?im pretty sure he had a shot but he was quite
Go on, you were sayingim pretty sure he had a shot but he was quite
Who knows what Spence would look like if he had played as much as udogie though - ultimately having 3 full backs Ange can trust is huge for us (and 4 would be even better). Spence isn’t perfect either - there is no way he should have met Murphy get the cross in for the winner on Saturday for instance and udogie would have got pelters if he had done the same. I’m just delighted to see another high quality option in the squadi think atm his our best full back on form
Destiny has been off form and spence looks a lot more sold and better on the ball, he links up really well with grey they look very calm together and have a good understanding.
Spence puts in a lot of blocks and looks a lot harder to beat one one-on-one, his height and jump are also a benefit
Go on, you were saying
...he was quite...what?
WHAT WAS HE?!!?!
Tbh I didn’t see Spences role second goal (it was the one Kulu lost the ball doing the trick on the throw in)?Who knows what Spence would look like if he had played as much as udogie though - ultimately having 3 full backs Ange can trust is huge for us (and 4 would be even better).

I couldn’t understand why Conte didn’t give him a go. Seemed perfect for that dynamic wing back role.I struggle to understand why previous managers and to some degree Ange questioned his ability, as he has been a revelation so far
It was 10 yards in front of me. He was just on his heels and let Murphy shift it from a standing start and beat him way too easilyTbh I didn’t see Spences role second goal (it was the one Kulu lost the ball doing the trick on the throw in)?
Despite that, on the ball, I think his balance is outstanding.It was 10 yards in front of me. He was just on his heels and let Murphy shift it from a standing start and beat him way too easily
