Eriksen

Does anybody else also feel his performances have dropped a lot recently. Crosses are poor. Wrong passes and sometimes you forget he's even playing.

Is his mind elsewhere? Contracts talks seem to have ground to a halt and the rumours about Real were annoying but quite constant.

Or is he just tired too?

His crossing and delivery has always been a bit mixed if we're honest.

In his defense he tends to have spells like this where he drifts in and out of games..... Usually comes back strong and has a spell where he bosses it.

I don't think its a coincidence that he has dips in form/ fatigue... pretty sure he ranks very high for distances covered during games.... the guy works his ar5e off

Re Madrid...... That's his decision, he's not signing and wants to hold out till the summer and see whats on offer (a lot more than he'll get at Spurs) Personally, I think he'll probably leave as we wont pay him as much as others and at some point he might wanna win something

If he goes to Madrid I'll happily take Isco coming back the other way

hasnt looked great recently but tbf hasnt had a lot in front of him with regards to movement in recent games with no Son/Dele/Kane. i dont trust the club to replace him well enough so and hes a pivotal part of team when we play well

Just a little dip but he’s still played some class passes.

Thinking the one V Chelsea & Newcastle that’s Llorente messed up.

Prob just missing his pals in dele & Kane

Eriksen`s dip in form has coincided with Kane and Dele both missing. He needs those two in the team for him to be at his best.

Eriksen has been pretty poor for a long time in dead ball situations .. his through balls etc are world class but i would suggest he needs to stay behind and practice his freekicks and corners etc as they have been pants for ages

remember one of his first seasons and he scored about 5 freekicks and the one against Sheff Utd in league cup semi final where he whipped it into the other corner, he got asked after the game how he did it and said he never practices which is pretty shocking for a freekick taker and his stats are so poor now trippier is pushing him out of the way ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He scored 2 free kicks in one match against Swansea. That may be the last time he scored from one. Amazing how unthreatening he's become at them since then. Hell, even Kane scored more recently from a free kick and he's the worst free kick taker in the league.

His involvement has reduced due to having to drop deeper in our midfield and has done a decent job tbf. He just isn’t headline grabbing with assists and goals but instead is tackling very well and setting up attacks

the one thing that winds me up is his inconsistency on the set piece. actually he is quite consistent. around 8/10 times his delivery is awful. 5 of these times will be hitting the first man.

I cannot understand how such a good player can be so inconsistent on the dead ball... something that can be perfected on the training pitch.

its really poor to be honest.

however, that aside, hes a class player, and we will miss him when he inevitably leaves in summer.
