Tottenham boss Antonio Conte slammed for 'shocking' Djed Spence decision

Antonio Conte's decision to bring on Djed Spence late in the game against Aston Villa, has sparked some debate amongst Tottenham fans.

Spence has found regular game time hard to come by since his move from Nottingham Forest in the summer, making just four appearances this season. He replaced Ivan Perisic in the 88th minute against Villa, prompting a jeer from the home crowd given they were already 2-0 down and heading for defeat.

The 22-year-old had an impressive loan stint at the City Ground, which granted him a move to north London from Middlesbrough. Fans are hoping they will get to see more of the talented youngster in the new year.

Here is what Spurs faithful have had to say on social media...

Kevin Bushell: "That's how much fans wanna see Djed Spence play a lot more, the cheer he got when he came on. Wasted talent."

Spurs Stan: "Only good thing about this game is that we get to watch Djed Spence for 7 mins. That’s the only problem I have with Conte, just don’t make sense."

Jake Lowe: "The fact that Spence can not get into this poor Spurs team is shocking. He offers more than Royal and Doherty."

Joshua Webb: "Having a talented wingback not starting every week in Djed Spence. The man is stubborn."

Halii: "Why not play Djed Spence?!"

Isaiahwalzy: "To play 3 minutes of Prem football? What a waste."

Danny Coupland: "Give the lad a chance Conte, and stop being stubborn."

Nakalee: "Did I just see Djed Spence?!"

Thomas Hidden: "Djed Spence needs more playing time!"

Carl: "Give him a chance to make an impact, absolutely nothing to lose."
