Did he though, I haven't seen a contradiction but please post it if you know where he contradicted himself. AI says:


Exact Quote from the Press Conference:
"In the first three days Maddison didn't work with us, I don't know if he's ready for tomorrow... Like I said many times, I don't want to take risks, because if you analyse this period of European football, you can see many injuries... So if I can, I don't want to take risks to lose many players for many games."

Key Takeaway: Maddison did not train with the main group for the first three days following the Coventry match, making his readiness highly uncertain, but he presumably HAS trained with the main group since then.

Later briefing:
"James Maddison is experiencing frustrating small problems that prevent him from consistently training. Although his current injury is not severe and he could play tomorrow, the Premier League's physical demands require players to be in peak condition to compete effectively."

Key Takeaway: Physically capable does not equal match-ready. While the injury isn't severe enough to completely rule him out, De Zerbi won't compromise his long-term fitness.

Rather than a contradiction, De Zerbi's comments highlight the distinction between a player being medically available ("could play") and being match-fit according to his strict managerial standards.


Someone tacotery rumoured that Maddison still has a hairline fracture in his shoulder from being smashed to the floor a few games ago, and that is why he had so much strapping on his shoulders and neck area in the Coventry game. No idea if that is true, I don't want to spread falsehoods.


Anyway, I suspect RDZ will opt for a high intensity pressing midfield to cause Cheatski problems i.e. Tonali Gray Gallagher etc rather than Madders, in the hope Cheatski crumble and can't get the ball to their elite forwards.

FFS, AI? You're not serious! 😂

Watch the pressers, (all of them and then the quotes to TV and then print journos) and you'll see.

AI, Jesus 😂😂😂

All these repeats of dele's goal. I really wish he was working at the club. I think he still wants to play? But he should be helped here. Tottenham is his home. I really feel for the guy when he talks. Read that dier doesn't keep up with him anymore either.

You have to want to be helped.
 
First PL start for Penders, 21 year old very highly rated Belgian keeper.
First PL start Quenda, 19 year old Portuguese left sided forward.


I wonder if Gallagher/Solanke have small injury niggles, rather than RDZ dropping them fully fit.

Oooh. Hadn’t thought of that, would be really interesting to see. A few of us posted earlier in the week that his shift and shoot game is good.

Well, at least we get to see the £180m dynamic duo in the double pivot.....it's what everyone has been calling for.

Tonali has been getting better and was excellent the other night. Fernandes is a proper player. Looking forward to seeing this.

Probably would have started Solanke and Gallagher but it’s an interesting team.
