Tottenham repair guide: How Pochettino can fix each Spurs star

Georges-Kevin N’Koudou

Tottenham didn’t have many bright spots against Chelsea yesterday, but the French starlet was certainly one of them. He injected real life and energy into the Spurs attack once he came off the bench.

Pochettino has previously expressed hesitancy to play the quick winger due to his difficulty with the English language. At this point, I don’t care if he speaks Swahili on the pitch. He is thoroughly deserving of more playing time.

All N’Koudou needs from Spurs is additional playing time. The more meaningful matches he finds himself in, the quicker his skills are going to develop.

That makes Pochettino’s job pretty simple here. N’Koudou needs to be a regular substitute at the very least. Frankly, I’d prefer him get a few starts against some of the Premier League’s relegation-threatened sides.

Tottenham fans need to understand that N’Koudou isn’t Clinton N’Jie. They are both young, French attackers and that’s where the comparisons should end. N’Koudou shows a much better understanding of the nuances of English football than his countryman did during his brief time at the Lane.
