I was hoping that when he scored the penalty he would take the top with a spurs shirt underneath... lol Looks a talent but lots of noise on talk sport about Liverpool being interested but no mention of us...

Watched the game under the influence.

Can't remember much apart from the referee being a god.

Had a few good moments, certainly nowhere near out first team.
Not sure what the point of signing him is then. We have plenty of young players that are also not near the first team yet, and they're generally a bit younger. We need immediate quality with even more potential -i.e. martins or malcom. Guys who will push for starting 11 spots. If he is coming in to be 5th or 6th choice, behind our current options, then I don't get this signing at all, apart from it being potentially cheaper.

Maybe they think he is as good as malcom or martins?

My take on Maddison last night...

Took him a while to get into the game, but to be countered, Chelsea were bossing the possession and on the front foot.

What I really liked was that he was always looking for little pockets of space, and if playing a pass short, he was straight on the move again looking for that little bit of space again to receive the ball back.

He played a couple of quick counter attack balls from deep, both of which were done without lingering on the ball, one pass just a shade heavy otherwise he'd have played in a one on one situation.

Mixed bag on the taking of corners, but whipped in a lovely cross from a free kick on the left hand side of their box.

Plays with his head up and didn't appear panicked on the ball. Couple of drops of the shoulder to get away from trouble and lay off.

All in all, I can see he certainly seems to have some decent ability, I think he could be very good as he matures and has (no disrespect to Norwich) better players around him.

On this season's showing definately.
As a matter of interest, did you know that "definately" is one of the most misspelled words in the English language. Because of my friendly intervention, you might now go forth and spell it correctly (definitely) for the rest of your days on this earth.

From reports he moved around a bit last night, where would he play at Spurs ?
