Liverpool are seven points clear at the top of the Premier League but you wouldn’t know going by the reaction. They want another striker. Will Ben White do?
It was a shame that Keane wasn’t presenting on Sky Sports this afternoon. I would have enjoyed his analysis having last week talked about ‘Spurs players not being that bothered to see Maddison coming back from injury‘.
No one is under any illusions on Maddison. He’s a bit of a fancy Dan, inconsistent and doesn’t show a lot of muscle. A modern-day Jamie Redknapp.
But Maddison’s stats this season are very good. A goal or an assist a game. That’s not inconsistent. That’s showing up fairly regularly in a horror show of a season. And he’s putting in some defensive work. 5 minutes before he came over covering some midfield yards to win the ball back. I found myself wistfully thinking about the difference he might have made in last Sunday’s joke of a midfield. I was glad he was back.
