Juan Foyth had a few hairy moments for Tottenham Hotspur today.
Some Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter aren’t happy with Juan Foyth, despite the result.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side thrashed Bournemouth 5-0 at Wembley to move second in the Premier League table, climbing above Manchester City.
Pochettino brought Tottenham starlet Foyth back into his first XI for the first time since the win over Southampton on December 5.
And despite having a good game overall, the 20-year-old did endure one or two hairy moments, namely when he could – and maybe should – have conceded a penalty by dragging down Junior Stanislas inside the box, but the referee waived away appeals by Bournemouth players.
It isn’t the first time this season that the young Argentine has been erratic in and around the penalty area.
Here’s how Spurs fans reacted to his performance:
Foyth is undeniably a class player – a very classy player, in fact – but there is also no doubt that he’s raw at the same time.
He does have errors in his locker, which is normal for a player who only turns 21 next month, but it’s still a problem that Pochettino needs to address.
He might be very young, but that isn’t a license to make mistakes, even if he is hugely talented, but the sooner that Pochettino eliminates the risky side of Foyth, the better he will become.
