But he\u2019s [Maddison] has played a big part in changing that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/23\/23\/76911645-0-image-a-47_1698098468345.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/23\/23\/76911635-0-image-a-48_1698098473638.jpg\" height=\"405\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/23\/23\/76911613-0-image-a-46_1698098453744.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He\u2019s come in and took the No 10 shirt, Harry Kane\u2019s shirt. Possibly the greatest player to ever play for Tottenham. I think at one stage he had the captain\u2019s armband on.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The midfielder arrived at the club earlier this summer from Leicester in a \u00a345million\u00a0transfer, after Leicester were relegated from the Premier League last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maddison has featured in every one of Spurs&#8217; Premier League matches since the beginning of the new season, returning five assists for his new team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carragher added: &#8216;He\u2019s just that type of personality and some times he mentioned about going to a bigger club. But some players can\u2019t actually handle it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It\u2019s not their ability it\u2019s their mentality. And he can, he\u2019s doing interviews with us, being in the spotlight, he embraces it.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Maddison after the match, Carragher said: &#8216;For me, you&#8217;ve been probably the most influential player in the Premier League &#8211; have I got that right?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Maddison responded: &#8216;That&#8217;s the aim, it&#8217;s big praise but I appreciate it. Coming to a club like Tottenham is a bigger club in stature than Leicester, and I absolutely loved my time there, but the scrutiny, the pressure, the responsibility goes up a notch when you come to one of these bigger clubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I love that and thrive off that. 60,000 fans here today and I just love these occasions on Monday Night Football. That&#8217;s when I&#8217;m at my best.I felt really good out there today and I&#8217;m happy we got the win because we&#8217;re doing really well as a team, we&#8217;ve got such a hard-working team and a great manager. I just want that to continue game on game.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his player&#8217;s performance after the match, Postecoglou also praised the midfielder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It\u2019s great for Madders on the back of him working hard defensively which is a part of his game that really impressed me this year,&#8217; the Australian manager said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;First half we were really good and madders was key to that. In the second half I thought we lost our discipline a little bit and you can\u2019t do that at this level.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/23\/23\/76911579-0-image-a-49_1698098484693.jpg\" height=\"888\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/23\/23\/76911591-0-image-a-50_1698098494078.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Son Heung-min got the opener for Tottenham after a mazy run in the first-half saw him lash the ball into the back of the goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maddison followed up after half-time and admitted his delight to get on the score sheet again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m really happy,&#8217; he told Sky Sports. All my goal contributions so far this season have been away from home, I keep seeing stats pop up about it. It&#8217;s nice to get off the mark here in a convincing performance, solid win, that puts us back to the top of the table.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It felt a little bit disjointed, Fulham didn&#8217;t really press and our centre-backs were able to walk up the pitch with the ball almost. We expected them to press a little bit higher. I started dropping deeper and was more involved in the build-up, we got a little bit more success that way.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12663855\/Jamie-Carragher-lauds-James-Maddison-influential-Tottenhams-success-season-man-match-performance-Spurs-2-0-win-against-Fulham.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamie Carragher suggests James Maddison could be &#8216;the most influential player in the Premier League this season&#8217;
