Djed Spence is waiting for his Tottenham Hotspur chance and Antonio Conte’s assistant Cristian Stellini has explained why he’s on the fringes.

“For our young players, every game is the game because we trust in them, but they are young players,” said Stellini. “If we think the EFL Cup is an important competition, we need the players who are ready to play this type of game. It’s a knockout game and Djed Spence is one of those for sure, because he works hard every day.”

“But sometimes they need time. Not every player is the same. Sometimes some players that arrive from another league like the Championship and they need more time to be ready, but we are happy with Djed. Really happy because he works hard, but he needs time and we need to take the right decision for him. Sometimes with young players you have to be careful. If you hurry to use this type of player you can create a problem for them. So when will be the right time, Djed Spence will play,” he added.

This is bollocks isn’t it? If Spence isn’t ready to play against his old team’s reserves, when is he going to be?

Who knows. Seems like bollocks when you consider we aren't exactly strong in his position. 3 Last minute subs in the prem and 25 mins in the EFL cup is probably a bit less than he would have hoped for.

Spence, Tanganga and Gill are in 3 way battle for who gets the least minutes this year. My money is on Tanganga.

Sarr and Harvey White would need a lasagne-gate scenario to get on the pitch.
