Janssen

He shouldn't be lacking confidence, not as if he's missing chance after chance. The issue is that he's not getting into the positions to have the chances in the first place.

13 shots, 4 on target, 3 big chances missed.

Doesn't matter where it goes it's still takes confidence to step up

The time to worry about a striker isn't when he's missing, it's when he's not getting in to the position for the chances!

in regards to the penalty, I have never been more confident since the days of berbatov. It was a superb penalty and it showed vincent does not lack in confidence. It was like watching ronaldo step up. Confidence is there.

It is purely the pace of the game catching Janssen out, very intelligent player. You can see he just cannot quite judge it yet.

However because he is young it is getting to him and you can see as the match goes on he is less and less effective. (His head drops, he snatches at the ball in any area of the pitch and his positioning is away from the ball effectively hiding) No excuse from a seasoned pro, every excuse for a one season rookie.

I keep saying it because we paid 17 million, because of the positioning we are in (we expect goals, we expect wins as a top 5 premier league club) we could ruin Janssen.

There is a lot of scope for development there but we need to take him out of the firing line. Of course we cannot cos of our paper thin squad.

Janssen was not lacking any confidence in his recent matches for Holland.
Scored a cracking goal in one and was unlucky (hit post) not to have another.
Also, speed is generally measured over 40 yds.
Think he will come good for Spurs, and is getting a lot of undeserved flack on here.

Also, listen to Les Ferdinand
