Tottenham Hotspur supporters have been calling for Ange Postecoglou to make one clear selection change for the club’s trip to Bournemouth on Thursday.
Spurs head to the South Coast following another disappointing result as they were held to a lacklustre 1-1 draw at home to Fulham. The Cottagers took advantage of an injury-ravaged Tottenham team who were without five first-team starters.
Ahead of the trip to the Vitality Stadium, Spurs fans want their manager to bring back a player who he has been overlooking for quite sometime now.
Tottenham fans call for Postecoglou to start Djed Spence vs Bourenmouth
Tottenham supporters want Djed Spence to start against Bournemouth with Pedro Porro dropping to the bench. Porro looked shattered against Fulham and was partly at fault for the visitors’ goal which came from his side.
The Spaniard has now played 90 minutes for six games in a row and the sheer amount of football looks to finally be catching up with him. The North London club’s fans believe he is now in need of a rest and they want Spence to replace him.
The former Nottingham Forest man is yet to start a game for Spurs this season but when he has come off the bench he has done a solid job. Now, Spurs supporters have taken to X to call for Postecoglou to finally give him a chance.
One fan stated: “I’m boycotting watching Tottenham Hotspur Football Club play ‘football’ until they give Djed Spence a chance to play and prove himself.”
“I would start Spence over Porro in the week, he looks dead on his feet. Spence should have had some minutes by now unless there is something we don’t know about,” added another.
Finally, one fan called for Postecoglou to save Porro for Chelsea: “Porro’s performance was poor today but that could be due to playing a full 90 on Thursday. I think Spence should start on Thursday and let Porro rest for Chelsea.”
How Tottenham could line-up vs Bournemouth with Spence starting
Tottenham will be hoping to have Cristian Romero back for their trip to face Bournemouth. The defender has missed the last three games with a foot injury but Postecoglou revealed Romero will ‘hopefully’ be fit.
Dejan Kulusevski is set to come back into the team having started from the bench against Fulham. The Swede was given a rest on the weekend and it was clear that Spurs missed him.
Tottenham predicted team vs Bournemouth: Forster; Spence, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Bissouma, Sarr, Kulusevski; Johnson, Son, Solanke.
