I know he was. Didnt stop him being the single most frustrating individual I've seen in a long time. Looked totally disinterested most of the time just doing a slow jog. Wouldnt go in to anything less than about 80/20 in his favour and generally walked into people instead of taking them on. Atleast maddison tried. 

Apart from that period around March when he was captain

 

Some truly dreadful performances from Maddison at that time when he just seemed more interested in arguing with the ref - funnily enough he spent most of the Palace game doing that and us losing got his mate sacked

Eh. They were poor performences but you can’t genuinely say he looked disinterested, if anything it felt like he was trying to do everything himself and wanted the ball too much, whereas some of our other players genuinely didn’t look arsed.

 

Will never understand the hate Maddison gets for last season either. He was one of the very few who put in performances that were good enough to keep us up over the span of last season and how he became public enemy number one in some people’s eyes when he should’ve been the last player who deserved that tag. 

 

I mean look at someone like Johnny Evans, he was the actual club captain who seemed to be take most of the season  to get over a minor injury but suddenly be fit enough to play for Northern Ireland in the middle of that injury and meant we had to keep starting Daniel Amartey who tried fine but simply wasn’t good enough. Now there was our supposed leader who’s heart clearly wasn’t it who deserved to take way way more flak than Maddison but bizarrely hasn’t. 
 

And genuinely can’t believe how much grown men get worked up and offended over an extremely inoffensive and mundane post on social media, but they’d probably give him the same level of hate if he posted something against the team or was silent and didn’t post at all and that post definitively has become an excuse for people’s hate of Maddison rather than a reason for it.
