Player James Maddison

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He has the look about him of 2019-20 Eriksen. Burnt out, a half step slow, small. Except he’s also got the movement of Niko Kranjcar.

Concerned would be an understatement
 
We want to win a trophy and this cunt is running around spurs lodge with his fucking limited edition Harry Potter wand. It won’t happen but I’d sell him tomorrow if given the chance. Feeble
 
I wonder if he thinks he’s made it by signing for us?

Needs to buck up his ideas as he’ll lose his place in the team to one of the swedes if he’s not careful. Playing on reputation at the moment.
 
today was one of his better performances (which says a lot).
it's absolutely vital we get some real competition for him (ideally one that can cover a wing position as well). Just focus on that because this guy has been putting In dog turd performances for months now.

I feel when he first signed for us, he was working so hard to get on the fans' side and to prove to us that he can be trusted and will be a vital cog.

But I'm not sure has he been reading the negativity and outrage of the fans since his returned from injury, because I feel more trolling from him now. Probably banter would be a friendlier word, as he's getting more comfortable in our environment. But just wish he doesn't stop raising his level and thinking that's that.

Southgate is gone, he still has a chance to get back into the national squad. Hope that can be his motivation too.

Those first ten games he was leading the press too at times. Maybe last season when he came back he was still feeling the injury and so struggled to do it as much (as the last few games he was getting better at it) but during preseason he looked to be off the boil again. It’s a shame we can’t get Eze because I think he needs pushing. Maybe Bergvahl will be the man to do it instead because he looks sharp.
 
That must be recent because I didn't sense that in pre season 🤣

Maddison is a veteran player though, he knows pre-season is about fitness and a bit of rhythm but the prem is a totally different speed. Really not much point trying to decipher anything from his pre-season other than he's finally back to full fitness.

Leicester is probably the best or worst game for him to get up and running again. Either he will be so comfortable and confident in a stadium he knows inside out or he will be a little bit emotional and refrained. The former is by far the most likely. I know I'm a biased Spurs fan but tbh I'm expecting Maddison to be a real handful tonight.
