Sky Sports pundit praises James Maddison after Tottenham win
No one would have expected Tottenham to be top of the Premier League and it emphasises that football under new manager Ange Postecoglou has made a huge impact. Ange ball is officially thriving right now, the only question is whether it can continue for the whole season.
Alan Smith, via Sky Sports, praised Maddison and gave the midfielder the player of the match award. He said: “Fairly simple on this occasion. Maddison has been so silky smooth. Everything he’s touched has come off today – and this season so far. He’s loving life in a Tottenham shirt.”
It is no surprise to see Maddison pick up this award after a very strong performance and he has been vital in Spurs being so good this season.
In the Premier League, the 26-year-old has scored three goals and picked up five assists. This shows that he was a great summer signing.
Postecoglou was perhaps a bit of a risky managerial appointment, but he has shown this season with his progressive football and great results that he was the right choice. Not only does the present look good, but the future also does to, with exciting prospects like Alejo Veliz waiting in the wings to make an impact.
Spurs are top of the Premier League and undefeated in the division. A huge reason for this is the influence of Maddison and the great managerial style of Postecoglou.
