Jamie Redknapp has criticised Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou for his decision on James Maddison against Fulham in midweek.
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has said on Sky Sports Premier League (8:24pm, September 2, 2023) that Ange Postecoglou should have included James Maddison in the starting lineup against Fulham in the EFL Cup Second Round South tie at Craven Cottage in London on Tuesday evening.
Spurs lost the tie on penalties.
Maddison came on as a substitute in the 82nd minute.
Jamie Redknapp on Ange Postecoglou decision on Tottenham Hotspur playmaker James Maddison vs Fulham
Redknapp made the comments while reflecting on Tottenham’s win against Burnley at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Maddison, who joined Tottenham from Leicester City in the summer transfer window, started the match against Vincent Kompany’s side and scored one of the goals.
Spurs won against Burnley to continue their brilliant start to the new Premier League season.
Redknapp said: “They lost to Fulham in the Cup which is really disappointing, but the way to bounce back was today.
“James Maddison didn’t play in midweek, big mistake, I don’t think Bissouma started, which is another one.”
Maddison is one of the best English playmakers around, and we believe that he should have started against Fulham.
Tottenham need to win a major trophy soon.
The Cup competitions are very important for Spurs.
There was no need for Maddison to get a ‘rest’ so early in the season.
After all, he is only 26 now and Tottenham do not have European football this campaign.
Maddison has made four appearances in the Premier League so far this season.
The 26-year-old has scored two goals and given two assists in those matches.
