The difficult season of Tottenham Hotspur aroused speculation on potential disorders within the team, with increasing concerns concerning the relationship between midfielder James Maddison and Manager Ange Postcoglou.
The former Spurs striker and the BBC Motd host, Gary Lineker, suggested that there could be underlying problems between the two, because Maddison was again excluded from the departure XI during the recent 2-2 draw of Tottenham against Bournemouth.
The match was another frustrating outing for the Spurs, who found themselves 2-0 before setting up a return to get a point.
Bournemouth seemed on the right track for a victory after Evanilson doubled their advantage in the second half, but the Lilywhites responded quickly. Pape Matar Sarr’s long-range strike withdrawn one, before his heung-min calmly converts a penalty to level the score.
Despite their late resurgence, Tottenham remains without victory in their last three games and continues to sit in the lower half of the Premier League table in 13th place.

“Maddison at the end of the end of the bench, and when he arrives, he always looks the role and plays a very good football. I’m a bit of a loss because what happened there. I wonder if there was a little fallout.
Maddison had an impact on Tottenham when he played
James Maddison appeared as a substitute for the 61st minute against Bournemouth, replacing Rodrigo Bentancur. Although his last minutes have been limited, the 28 -year -old remains one of the Tottenham outside competitions this season.

He was recently praised for his performance against Man United by Micah Richards as well as by the director of Man City, Pep Guardiola, who distinguished him for his quality.
His vision and quality of attack were crucial, making his initial training for a debate point among the fans.
While Tottenham is preparing for a crucial return match of the Europa League against Az Alkmaar, the supporters hope that Maddison will play a key role by helping the spurs to reverse their first -class deficit and maintain their European ambitions alive.
