He’s never a better player,Fans brutally slammed Tottenham new signing after missing two clear chance against Newcastle

A key Tottenham Hotspur player has issued an apology to Spurs supporters following the heavy defeat at Newcastle United.

Tottenham  delivered yet another lacklustre away performance yesterday as they fell to a 4-0 defeat at St James’ Park.

Spurs have won just once on the road since beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 back in December. During this period, they have suffered heavy defeats to Brighton, Fulham and Newcastle.

Despite having 72 per cent of the ball yesterday, it’s fair to say that ange postecoglou side were outclassed by the Magpies.

Newcastle created more opportunities in the game and Tottenham failed to build on a positive start after timo werner wasted two chances in front of goal.

The normally reliable Micky van de Ven also had a rare day off, with the Dutchman remaining on the pitch to score twice for Newcastle
Coach Postecoglou made three changes in the first hour, bringing on Dejan Kulusevski, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Pape Matar Sarr
But in the second half it was the same for Spurs, conceding two more goals
And after a disappointing afternoon, the Tottenham star apologized to fans at St James’ Park

James Maddison issues apology after Newcastle thrash Tottenham

Speaking to spur play , Maddison admitted he was surprised to see some Tottenham supporters applauding the players following the defeat.

“We’re just as disappointed as any of them fans,” the Spurs star said. “We can only [hold our] hands up and apologise to the travelling fans today. Even at the end then, we went over and a load of them still clapped us after a performance like that. You don’t expect to be clapped when you go and applaud the fans.

“Thank you to them for sticking with us but I can only apologise they had to watch that scoreline today. We just weren’t good enough and we have to accept that, look in the mirror and know that we weren’t good enough. It wasn’t just a fluke, wasn’t just they got lucky goals.

“We weren’t good enough today, to a man, so we need to have a stern talking to ourselves to pick ourselves up because we can have a period of mourning, if you like, over it but you’ve got to quickly switch on and look at where you went wrong and go again because the Premier League comes thick and fast and we’ve got a big game next.”

Maddison stats vs Newcastle

Tottenham remain in a fairly strong position when it comes to securing a top-four finish.

Aston Villa travel to Arsenal today and currently sit above the north Londoners on goal difference.

However, Maddison’s current form will be a concern for the Spurs as he has yet to reach the heights he reached earlier this season
The Englishman recently admitted he has not been back to his best since returning from an ankle injury in January
Maddison put down another frustrating set of numbers yesterday, but statistically speaking he was one of Tottenham’s better players on the day
In fact, WhoScored gave the 27-year-old his 6
8 points, surpassed only by Kulusevski who scored his 7
1 points

The £40M midfielder completed 90 per cent of his passes on the day, with four labelled as key passes.

He also completed one dribble and one tackle. But on the whole, it’s fair to say that Maddison has underwhelmed since his return to the side.

If Tottenham are to secure a Champions League spot, Maddison returning to top form feels necessary as they are lacking creativity in midfield at the moment.
