10 Major Issues Individual Spurs Players Need To Improve

8. Vlad Chiriches (Concentration)

Romanian international Vlad Chiriches is undoubtedly a talented defender. He's hard to get past, good in the air and isn't bad with the ball at his feet - at least when he's paying attention to what he's doing with it. All too often, Chiriches gets caught dawdling and/or tries to do too much with the ball in dangerous situations - and this can lead to him making vital mistakes (see Tottenham's recent 1-1 draw with Besiktas for details). You find yourself screaming at Chiriches to pay attention and release the ball as attackers close in and, if he wants to make it at Spurs, he really needs to stop making the kind of errors that you'd expect to see an overweight, middle-aged man make in a Sunday morning league.
