James Maddison urges Tottenham to ‘keep going and dig in’ after Liverpool rout

James Maddison rallied around Tottenham’s depleted squad and insisted they will stick together after they were hit for six by Liverpool on Sunday. Spurs followed up Thursday’s seven-goal thriller against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with another goal-bonanza in north London, but were hammered 6-3.
With eight players unavailable, Ange Postecoglou’s team could never match their midweek energy levels and trailed 5-1 midway through the second half before they hit back late on. “To concede six goals at home obviously hurts,” Maddison told SpursPlay.
“To manage to score another three against arguably the best team in the world at the minute, there is positives there but hard to look at, at the minute. “I am proud of the lads who kept going. It can be very easy to sit back and not let any more chances or keep a scoreline to a minimal, especially when they get the fifth.
“To be fair to the lads, they kept going, we scored another couple and we’ll keep going and dig in. “We had a great night, a brilliant night here on Thursday and a really difficult one (against Liverpool). The good and the bad, you’ve got to stick together.”.
Maddison scored in Sunday’s loss to continue his rich vein of form at a time when Tottenham have needed their leaders to step up. I can only feel for the fans but I want them to know that it hurts us as well. Results like that don’t just hurt supporters, they hurt the club on a whole.
