Maddisons involvement in Tottenhams chance creation is spectacular! Also is 99th percentile in shot creating actions and 93rd in progressive passes despite playing so high up the pitch.

Bellingham in certainly the more talented amd well rounded player, bjt Maddison has had just as impressive a start to the season which should not be overlooked.

    I would absolutely not make any of those comparisons. And this isnt a comparison bw the two players but showing how differently they’ve been the best ‘10s’ in the world. Two English players who play in a similar zone of the pitch in attacking teams and dominating in such unique ways.

        Bellingham is more physical, athletic and takes more risks than Gundogan both while carrying the ball and with his passes the way de bruyne does. De bruyne is less free in his movement than Maddison (especially Maddison this season). De Bruyne is also less central and so the angles he recieves the ball and the profile of players be takes on is different. Also thr crossing and long range passing de bruyne has noone else does.

            I’m not sure, maybe bruno fernandes but player roles change so much under different managers and as they evolve physically and tactically that it’s tough to have direct equivalents.
