Christian Eriksen the Enigma

For all his telent Eriksen has no bottle whatsoever. He ducks out of challenges and odes not put in the hard work that you need to as a midfielder in this country.

Yes he has talent but in the premiership you have to earn the right to play and he does not do that. People are fooled by his goals but when our backs are to the wall he is a total waste of space. Exactly the same applies to Chadli and you cannot afford two of your midfield players to go missing when your backs are to the wall. Mason done more than Eriksen yesterday but he got subbed, work that out if you can

Thought it was just me that spotted Eriksen has no heart and bottles challenges. He does a lot of chasing but actually hardly ever wins any tackles. Take his goals away and he is just a passenger, same with Chadli. They lack the intensity to play Poch system and and as the creative hub within the team they need to do more on that front. Kane is feeding off scraps. Our team is young and we really cant afford to carry anyone.
People keep harping on about Stoke being brilliant yesterday but we made Ireland look like Zidane in his prime with no pressure on him whatsoever. Can guarantee he wont play as well again season.

After the most brilliant one sided 1st half I had seen from us in a while to capitulate like we did in the second half was truly disappointing.
