A much better performance than the one in midweek.
He faded a bit in the second half but he was clearly holding himself back due to the card.

He showed us what he could do last season.
He’s had injury problems at the start so hopefully he’ll regain his form, I do wish he’d bulk up just a bit more.
Just nowhere near Ndombele's level right now.
Defensively was ok with harsh yellow, but he’s just very weak and limited technically as midfielder. Lamela would have done more. He will be sold soon. We severely missed Ndombele.
He can’t make me and neither can you. All you’re proposing is excuses in his favour and false hope. He has no presence. Doesn’t command it and it’s not offered to him against stronger sides.I think you need to take a step back fella... He looked good last year (one of the few bright points).... He's not been in the best of fitness (and therefore lacking a bit of form), but his upside should be obvious.

Technically he need space to hold on to the ball, make accurate passes and make the right decision. He almost bottled the counter which resulted in Kane banger.
Both of you still have time to make me step back.
Our playing style and tactics are quite different from Poch era. I am not sure even if prime Eriksen would be shining in our current setup since we don't have much possession like we used to have.I think he could do very well in a sissoko role.. if he improves his defence and bulks up.
I just don't see the creative spark with him that I did with modric, eriksen, and now Ndombele. That special "it" factor. Which is a shame because his passing is a great compliment to Ndombeles dribbling.
But he's young. I just think his best position is as a box to box mid, not an attacking mid. That can still work with Ndombele being an incredible creative attacking mid.
I think our current style would suit prime Eriksen just fine. He'd play Ndombele's role and do it better. He scored so many long range bangers, was good getting in the box, so would have been a perfect third goal scorer. He was practically a guaranteed 20+ g/a a season.Our playing style and tactics are quite different from Poch era.

He used to have an engine on him and was always tracking back on counters, though he was a bit of a traffic cone when he got there.
Most of all, he was amazing at launching a quick long range ball.
Prime Eriksen in this team would have been amazing in this team.
The only issue is that he clearly wasn't mentally very strong.
almost bottled the counter?? how did he do that? great first touch from a ball bouncing into him, dribbles it smoothly up the other end and times his pass to son with perfection...?? how the fuck is that bottling it?He can’t make me and neither can you.
