Supporters of Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur have taken to social media in numbers on Saturday, to send a message to head coach Antonio Conte regarding the talents of Djed Spence.
On the back of a nightmare opening half to the campaign in north London, right-back Spence, of course, was farmed out on loan last month.
Taking his talents to France, the highly-regarded former Middlesbrough prospect opted to link up with Stade Rennais.
And the Rennes faithful, on Saturday, were afforded their first opportunity to see the clubβs latest addition in action.
Afforded a starting berth by boss Bruno Genesio, Spence featured alongside fellow Spurs loanee Joe Rodon in a Ligue 1 meeting with LOSC Lille.

As alluded to above, however, it was not Rennesβ fanbase who proved most vocal online when it came to judging Spenceβs debut display.
Evidently impressed by what they were witnessing, those of a Tottenham persuasion, in turn, flooded to social media in their absolute droves.
This came as serious questions were asked of head coach Antonio Conte, owing to his resistance to make use of Spenceβs talents over the first half of the term.
Check out some of the highlights from across Twitter below:
I love Conte and back him whatever but not playing Spence and leaving him out way he did was so clearly a huge mistake.

Watching Rennes v Lille on BT Sport. Djed Spence is having a very good debut. This makes Conte come across as extremely petty tbh. Rodon again decent too.

Spence showing that he’s far better than the Conte apologists have given him credit for.
At some point you’re going to have to admit your messiah chose his stubborness over the benefit of the team.
Could we have had a few more points this season if he would have played π€·π»ββοΈ
