‘Wake up…: Jamie O’Hara blasts treatment of £40M Tottenham star last night
After a difficult year for their players, Tottenham supporters will be relieved to have the last international break behind them.
Spurs had players from across the world playing for them, from South America to Europe.
When Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg shoved the referee during Denmark’s draw with Switzerland, he was likely engaged in the funniest episode of them all.
James Maddison, a teammate from Tottenham, had a different experience.
Yes, on Tuesday night at Wembley in a friendly match between England and Belgium, the 27-year-old assisted during stoppage time and helped his country salvage a 2-2 tie.
However, Jamie O’Hara remarked on Twitter how frustrated he is with the Spurs superstar’s lack of playing time.
The former Tottenham player pleaded with Gareth Southgate to start Jude Bellingham and James Maddison together and to “wake up.”
This friendly match, where he only played for 20 minutes after being left out as a substitute against Brazil, is hardly encouraging for the £40 million playmaker ahead of Euro 2024.
Is James Maddison the right England captain?
O’Hara said, “Maddison makes things happen.”
It’s our turn with these guys; Bellingham ought to be the starting point. Wake up, Southgate. Make appropriate use of them.
Ange Postecoglou will benefit from Maddison getting more playing time for his nation, despite the yelling and pleading of Spurs supporters.
His players will get better sleep as a result, which is necessary since the squad is aiming for Champions League football.
Tottenham’s 3-0 loss to Fulham just before the international break was a self-inflicted wound.
It has only set them back in their quest to contend with Unai Emery’s Aston Villa for the crucial fourth position.
