MANAGER'S VERDICT: THOMAS FRANK DEMANDS DISCIPLINE FROM DJED SPENCE AHEAD OF LIVERPOOL CLASH
Thomas Frank demands Djed Spence "learn" from his petulant outbursts, while Europa League hero Brennan Johnson eyes a January exit.
Thomas Frank mentioned that Djed Spence from Tottenham knows his reaction at Nottingham Forest didn't look great, which wasn't good, and hopes he'll learn from it.
Spence, who's 25, seemed confused when he was taken off during the 3-0 defeat at the City Ground. This is the second time this season the player has made headlines because of how he reacted to Spurs boss Frank.
Micky van de Ven and Spence seemed to ignore Frank's instructions to clap for the home fans after a 1-0 loss to Chelsea on Nov. 1. The two apologised. The ex-Brentford head coach suggested this can't happen again.
I talked to him. He wasn't happy because he thought he was subbed off because of an injury, but that wasn't it, or that we thought he had one, Frank said.
I guess he's been talked about twice now, which isn't ideal since we have to spend time on it here in the press conference. It's better if that doesn't happen.
These are two times when he knows it didn't look good, and we're talking about young guys here.
Is he 24 or 25? There's a lot of focus and pressure, and sometimes you mess up, but you learn from it. You should learn and do better next time.
Spence should start when Liverpool visits Tottenham on Saturday, but Brennan Johnson might be on the bench again.
Johnson not playing much has led to rumours about a January move. Even though Frank seemed to suggest he wants to keep last season's top scorer, the player from Wales hasn't been used as a substitute in two of the last four league games.
When asked if he wants Johnson to stay, Frank replied, 'Yeah, I think we will be playing often, so it's good to have enough players.'
I'm happy with Brennan in general. He practised well [Friday]. Before, we said that he's had some good games on the right, and [Mohammed] Kudus came in, so there's more competition there. It's not that he can't play on the left.
I'm happy with Brennan. I'm happy with everyone on the team. It's just that I can only play 11, sadly.
CONOR GALLAGHER CONFIRMED AS "VITAL" STARTER FOR SPURS FOLLOWING BENTANCUR’S INJURY LAYOFF
Conor Gallagher proved the doubters wrong against Man City. Discover why his €40m move to Tottenham is finally paying off for Spurs.
_1770149665.webp)
Chelsea and Atletico Madrid both decided Conor Gallagher wasn’t worth the trouble. At Chelsea, he had his moments—Pochettino liked him, but the fans never really warmed up. When Chelsea shipped him off to Atletico, it made sense. Enzo Fernandez stepped up, took over Gallagher’s role, and fit in perfectly next to Caicedo, with Cole Palmer adding that extra spark up front.
Things didn’t get much better for Gallagher in Spain. He barely got a chance at Atleti, lost his spot in the starting eleven, and pretty much ended up on the transfer list before anyone had time to blink. Interest was lukewarm at best until the winter window rolled around. Aston Villa wanted him and went after him pretty aggressively, but then Tottenham swooped in late. Spurs needed someone to patch up the midfield after Bentancur’s injury, so they just paid up—40 million euros, no hesitation.
His start at Tottenham? Rough. Honestly, that was to be expected. He’d played well at Palace before, but after his struggles at Atleti, he needed time to adjust. Sitting on the bench in Spain didn’t do him any favours.
Then Gallagher showed up. People doubted whether he could really add creativity and move the ball forward for Spurs, so his early struggles got people worried. But then came the 2-2 draw against Manchester City. He suddenly looked like the player both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank were so desperate to sign.
Against City, Gallagher flipped the script. He set up a crucial assist, drove play forward on the dribble, and kept drawing fouls—everything the Spurs needed. Defensively, he was all over the place in a good way: two tackles, three interceptions, a full 90 minutes, and a huge part of the Spurs clawing their way back into the game.
Tottenham fans loved it. They saw the effort, the attitude, and the hunger to win. Gallagher just wouldn’t quit, and in that second half, he, Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Dominic Solanke ran the show. Four of those guys have been carrying Spurs lately, so Gallagher is fitting right in with them. That’s a pretty good sign he’s going to work out just fine in North London.
