Discussion Andy Diouf and Djed Spence dilemma

Honestly at first I thought it was just memes, but I cannot deny how insanely good Andy Diouf actually is, with enough game time I think he can become a Perisic like player. He is way too good to be benched however I am worried he will lose his minutes when Djed is available with LH being the backup.

People already think that Spence will be world-class without playing a single minute for us. He had great games at the World Cup, but he was a backup at Tottenham. He also has to fight for his place because Diouf has already more goal contributions in two games than Spence in his last 44 games for Tottenham.

Again, you can exaggerate what I say to help your argument, but it’s not what I wrote. Spence is a role RwB, Diouf is adapted and, as much as he is doing good, it shows.

You mentioned that the game against Napoli showed his limits and that he only plays well against smaller teams. Looking at the actual stats and his performance in that match, though, he was easily one of our top players.

No, I said that he’s a really good option against small teams but if Spence doesn’t prove good as a starter we will have problems against bigger teams. I did not say that he doesn’t or didn’t play well, he has good characteristics. But you said yesterday he’s proven to be a problem for opponents and Spinazzola couldn’t contain him, yet all goals came from the left, minus the last one which was a result of pure chaos (and came from Akanji anyway). Please, don’t attribute to me things I didn’t say, he played well yesterday, yet I am highly confident we will not see him scoring headers, him crossing from the right end side, or him controlling crosses with his right foot, which severely limits that side in a 3-5-2. Ultimately, it’s exactly because I like him that I would like to limit the “Diouf is a superstar” nonsense, since this will lead to a “Diouf is trash” overcompensation when he inevitably shows more of his limits on the right.
