Tottenham fans are desperate for James Maddison to start every match.
The England international has quickly become Spurs' main hope as an attacking midfielder. With the primary playmaker, Javi Simons, ruled out until 2027 following an ACL injury, Maddison’s role has become even more vital.
His importance was particularly highlighted during the second half of the League Cup clash against Liverpool, which Spurs lost 3-1.
As soon as Maddison came on, the team's performance in the central areas and attack transformed dramatically. The difference in creativity between Maddison and Conor Gallagher was enormous. In fact, Spurs fans barely noticed Gallagher's goal, instead marveling at Maddison's quality of passing and vision, reminiscent of his standout days at Leicester.
With his exceptional reading of the game and movement, Maddison has proven he is head and shoulders above his competitors for the number ten role.
Now, Tottenham supporters are hopeful that he has found his form and is fit enough to play at least 60 minutes in the crucial upcoming match against Aston Villa.
