Klopp doesn’t think £170,000-a-week Tottenham player is enough for Liverpool – Carragher James Maddison is one of Tottenham Hotspur’s best players, but Jamie Carragher doesn’t think Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp considers him good enough for his team.Tottenham Hotspur will face Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.James Maddison is expected to start for Tottenham.The playmaker, who earns £170,000 a week (The Telegraph),

joined Tottenham from Leicester City in the summer transfer window.And he took over at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 26-year-old English attacking midfielder has scored two goals and provided four assists in six Premier League appearances so far this season.Tottenham are in the running for the top four of the Premier League this season.Jamie Carragher on Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and James MaddisonSky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher is enthusiastic about Maddison and has outlined his characteristics.The former Liverpool defender also explained his theory as to why Reds manager Jurgen Klopp did not try to sign him in the summer of 2023.Carragher wrote in The Telegraph: “His throwback style extends to his role on the pitch. With the greatest respect to Maddison and Spurs, this explains why his options this summer did not include Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.“There’s no doubt I had my eye on him for Leicester and had thought about signing him at some point over the last three years. The reason they said no is because  most effective position is out of fashion fMaddison’sor elite coaches. “Carragher added: “I suspect Guardiola, Klopp, Mikel Arteta and Mauricio Pochettino took one look at Maddison and were more influenced by what he couldn’t do than by his qualities.”“Guardiola and Klopp expect their best teams to have attacking players or versatile midfielders who take on the responsibilities of those who once positioned themselves directly behind the main striker. “Maddison is not the fastest, nor does he stand out as someone who will trigger a close encounter. He doesn’t have the natural athleticism of a number 8 and is less effective as a wide forward who cuts inside.

“Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison could damage LiverpoolWe believe James Maddison could be a crucial player for Tottenham Hotspur against Liverpool in this weekend’s Premier League match.Maddison is a natural number 10 and the way Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou plays against his team suits the England team.Even though Liverpool have a good defensive team, they are not at their best and concede goals.Maddison has built a great relationship with Son Heung-min on the pitch and we think the two Tottenham players could be a problem for Liverpool.
