James Maddison

Maddison, Bissouma, Romero, and Richarlison were all in 'couldn't be relied upon for a performance' bracket, but when it mattered in the Europa League, they could all be relied upon.

I agree.
Bissouma especially showed up and showed people like me that he can hit great heights. I have to now think that with the paradigm shift these players have created, the squad needs augmentation in key areas rather than churn. The Europa journey (all 15 games of it) will have been like going to Winners University, and I expect all the players -including some I personally doubted had it in them- to show new dimensions to their characters.

I love it when I'm proiven wrong because we win. Bissouma and Maddison, hats off!
 
Must admit it does come across as rather petty of Maddison to be squabbling online with everyone who’s dissed him in the past instead of being magnanimous in victory like Son.

Don’t recall even master windup merchant Lamela indulging in such antics after he won the Europa League.
Post-match he was being interviewed by Keane and Carragher and he did specifically say that the pundits who'd been going in hard on Spurs and him were used as motivation. He referenced how people mocked when he joined Spurs and so he resolved at that time to win something.
So if it's been that extra driver for him, then I suppose this is the fruition of it.
