"It's fair to say it's not looking promising."
I thought that after we capitulated after taking a two goal lead at Brighton.

Pep was apparently after him when we got him wasn't he? There was talk at the time they would've gone in harder for him but they had already splashed out on their other signings that summer...

ok then we keep grey on until we go behind. though i doubt we are going to outscore them with the current midfield of sarr, benta and biss

he's definitely more defensive minded now as seen in the west ham game.
did much better than davies, seasoned professional, too dropping back and abandoning the offside trap when needed

I know what you're saying but I think it is imperative to keep Biss away from too much 'deep' responsibility. For me, those are the areas his brain farts could be costly. Not sure any specific coaching will be/can be done in time. We are where we are - 90 mins from a Final!

So has anything been said officially about the extent of Maddison's injury?

Unless he is really needed I wouldn't risk him on the plastic pitch.
Keep him for the final, hopefully.

UPDATE | MADDISON RULED OUT FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON
Wed 07 May 2025, 18:00|Tottenham HotspurAnge Postecoglou has confirmed James Maddison will miss the rest of the campaign.
The midfielder was forced off with a knee problem midway through the second half of our Europa League first leg win over Bodo/Glimt last week.
Scorer of our second goal in that game, Madders was sent for a scan after the win over the Norwegian side to assess the extent of the injury but it has now been confirmed by our Head Coach that the problem is significant enough to keep him out of action for the rest of the season.
"Unfortunately Madders last week hurt his knee and it looks like he's got an issue there," Ange explained. "That'll keep him out for the rest of the season which is disappointing... disappointing for him, more than anything because he's been important for us, particularly this latter part of the year and particularly in Europe - he's been a catalyst for a lot of our good stuff.
"It's really disappointing for him but it has been a constant of our season to deal with things like this and it's just another one we need to overcome."
Him and Bergvall being out is a major blow. Been critical of him this season but he was hitting some good form in the last few weeks. Really need Kulu to rediscover his form before the final if we get there.
Indeed. Big blow, I too have been critical but only because I know how good he can be for us, and when he's on it the whole team play well - just frustrating he has been inconsistent and has been his whole career which is why he hasn't got the international recognition he perhaps could have.
If we get to the final, we really need not just Kulu but Bents and Bissouma being on their game. Both have shown some decent performances of late, lets hope they maintain that as we need them all....

So, after many near-misses (mostly caused by us funnily enough) Maddison FINALLY gets to play in the Champions League (assuming he doesn't get sold in the summer of course!)
Will be interesting to see how he fairs. The new group format would probably suit him (less pressure on every game at least at the start..)

Why would he be sold? It's been pretty obvious how much we have missed Maddison, our football is night and day with him being in the team vs not. Not to mention how much he bonds with the players, and seeing clips of him behind the scenes being on the bench how he actually does provide leadership to the group....

Not his biggest fan, has it shown 
, but fair play his team building has been exceptional.

I wouldn't sell him, but i can imagine if we were offered a decent fee many would...
