The clash of interest for Eriksen in this match is fascinating - he will want to play well to win for his current club who took a punt and believed in him after his health scare, he will want to play well so we take notice and pick him up this summer, he will want to lose so that when/if he comes to Spurs he will be playing in the Champions League, he will want to lose to appease Spurs fans.

If he gets the chance to hit a winner this weekend the thoughts racing through his head will be throwing him in all sorts of directions.

Straight into the net.
 
This. I'm scared about the Winks level of pressing he could bring back. But it is very evident that we are STARVING for a creative midfielder.

Winks level of pressing…..

Win and it'll be like we're sipping champagne in a limo. Lose and it'll be like being bummed alive in the back of a circus clown car.

He didn’t seem to try for the last few months here so why would he want to lose to appease Spurs fans?
 
we lost the last game to a team playing away and who didn't have to force the game, but hope for a lucky break in amongst dogged and turgid football.

Brentford are at home, so it's a different dynamic.

If we play to our strengths, it should be a different result - but we have to PLAY!
 
That's the best way to look at it, that way you're never disappointed;)
Until we win 2 on the bounce, then the forum can be flooded with posters insisting that we supporters must change our mindset and be convinced we will win every single game, because there would be SO much upside for a Spurs fan taking that approach...
