Juan Foyth may have emerged as the last gem of Mauricio Pochettino's current revolution at Tottenham this season, but his performance against Burnley on Saturday left much to be desired.
Argentina has often been admirably alongside more seasoned players such as Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen in the Spurs group, but Foyth's lack of experience and his continued adaptation to the rigors of the Premier League have been revealed to Turf Moor.
Tottenham's 2-1 defeat to Clarets was of a lower quality than the one generally presented by the Pochettino team since the beginning of the season, as they presented an outside bid for the title. Foyth's presentation was a disappointing day for the group. Northern Londoners.
The visitors were caught on the back two times with an unusually sloppy defense and Burnley punished them twice. In total, Foyth made only 36 precise pbades in the game, against 56 for Toby Alderweireld and 71 for Jan Vertonghen.
The Spurs' pbading game begins with the technical quality of the central defenders moving the ball from the back, but Saturday's Foyth display proved that it was not yet the same. technical level than its Belgian backers.
Foyth only completed 67.9% of his pbades, against 83.6% for Alderweireld and 84.5% for Vertonghen. The Spurs' match suffered from an unusual lack of quality on Saturday and this problem started on the back with Foyth.
On the defensive side, Foyth failed to score a single tackle in Saturday's game, while Alderweireld scored three and Vertonghen scored one. Foyth also cleared five clearances to Turf Moor, one less than Vertonghen's.
I'm fed up with people saying that Foyth will be a superstar and that this one and the other are making too many mistakes for my taste #coys #foyth

Crucially, Foyth lost the ball 17 times against Sean Dyche's team, six more times than Alderweireld, while he only recovered the ball three times, against nine times to Vertonghen.
Foyth's potential as a nascent center in the Premier League is obvious, but the 21-year-old still has a lot of problems to settle in his game to reach the required standards.
Alderweireld and Vertonghen have combined their efforts to position the bar at a high level of technical quality and defensive trick over the years, and Foyth must stick to it to follow in the footsteps of the success of the Belgian duo for Tottenham.
