Spence's sideline frustration boils over again

Tottenham's Spence, aged 24 or 25, was again in the spotlight for his reaction after being substituted during a recent 3-0 loss. This incident follows a similar display after a November 1st match, where both he and Micky van de Ven appeared to ignore instructions to applaud fans. Manager Frank has spoken with Spence, who was reportedly upset believing he was subbed due to an injury.

Frank acknowledged the difficult position young players face under pressure, stating that while Spence is aware the reactions did not appear optimal, he is expected to learn from these experiences. Despite these issues, Spence is anticipated to start in the upcoming match against Liverpool. The team is preparing for a busy schedule with many games ahead.

Meanwhile, Brennan Johnson's lack of consistent game time has fueled speculation about a potential January transfer. Frank expressed satisfaction with Johnson's training and overall contribution, but acknowledged increased competition within the squad, particularly on the right wing. The manager confirmed his desire to keep all players given the demanding fixture list.
