Player Watch Player Watch: James Maddison

[Tottenhamboy85]

Been awful since coming back from injury and time he sits on the bench

 

[Ginola+Tonic]

Definitely needs dropping

 

[EQP]

It's a shame that Maddison seems immune from being dropped for poor performances.

I get that GLC isn't the long-term answer and will likely leave in the summer, but that is no excuse to give Maddison that many opportunities only for him to disappoint on several different fronts.

We all know GLC isn't starting on Thursday, so our only hope is that Deki somehow impresses when he's invariably moved in-field to play as 10 after Maddison is subbed off with 20 minutes to go

 

[AnotherSpursFan]

Played as if his balls were surgircally removed

 

[muppetman]

Invisible, but the movement in front of him was also very poor.

We look toothless and out of ideas. Not sure if he bring poor is a symptom or a cause

 

[FinnYid]

Was the player that made the team click, now easily the weakest player on pitch. Right here, right now needs to be benched

 

[Wadec]

In a similar vein to Ange, I love Maddisons openess and the way he speaks. He also needs to walk the walk though, currently a passenger.

 

[Misfit]

Son, Richy and BJ up front with Kulu or Bents behind please.

I'd say GLC but it's clear Ange won't pick him, most likely as GLC has made it clear he isn't keen on sticking around long-term.

Either way, Madison has been a shadow of his early season self. He's not alone in that of course but the fact remains.

If Ange is happy to start PEH then there’s no reason not to start Gio. I’d bench Maddison and Son for Chelsea and start a front 4 of Gio, Johnson, Richy and Kulu.

He won’t though, would get lynched for dropping son

 

[Ghost Hardware]

He won’t though, would get lynched for dropping son

Maybe right, the fact we have another game on Sunday would give him the option tho.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Bench him ffs

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Bloody wish I wasn’t but I was spot on about him. Overrated player who is dreadfully inconsistent and doesn’t work hard enough either.

The first 10 games were a purple patch and Leicester fans will tell us the same thing:

 

[arunspurs]

I bet Madisson cannot walk in a straight line , will fall over every 2 steps....
At the moment, a drunk probably has more balance than Madisson.

I am not sure if he is still carrying an injury. At the moment, I wouldnt start him. I would rather play Bentancur as no10 than him

 

[mil1lion]

I'd like to see that midfield 3 that started against Villa
Bentancur, GLC and Kulusevski
Son, Richarlison and Johnson as the front 3

 

[mmidgers]

If glc is off in the summer then maddison should be backup and not a starter. Him, son and biss have been dreadful for such large parts of the season now. We need more quality and consistency

 

[whenstevewentup]

I’m getting fed up with Madison , 1 good game in what now , 18 games ? Doesn’t create , doesn’t control the tempo of the game , so weak on the ball . I’d drop him for next couple of games and hope it’s a kick in the arse that he needs .

 

[spursville]

Injured, out of form or both. Discuss.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Injured, out of form or both. Discuss.

Go and look at his form in past seasons and ask Leicester fans about him. He’s always been like this, turns to shit for ages.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Injured, out of form or both. Discuss.

Could just be knackered. I’ve got a 10-month baby crying all night and I’m fucked. He’s got twins and a toddler
