Some pieces
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison has said the club need to look into their “astronomical” injury crisis.
Maddison believes Spurs’ injury problems are a significant factor behind why they underperformed.
“Our situation with the injuries has been worse than any other club,” Maddison told reporters, including
The Athletic, after beating Everton. “People try and say, ‘Oh, but we’ve got this and that’. But ours is astronomical and we need to look at why that is.
Maddison said he felt “relieved” Spurs avoided relegation but “not real joy and happiness.” He added that the club “need to be responsible for holding ourselves to higher standards and demanding more from each other individually.”
“I’ve been involved in three games off the bench at the end so I am trying to give you the answers you are looking for without being fully in it,” he said. “But the reality is, we haven’t been good enough. That’s why we’re in the position we are in. Now, we have to really figure out over the summer why that was the case and go back to the team that won the Europa League, the team that before would have got Champions League and stuff like that which we were not far away from.”
