Agree, and that's why, right now, the Danny Rose recovery is key when we play top teams like Chels in the cup. We create so much more space in central midfield when we have Rose and Walker stretching oppositition defences and defensive midfieders on both sides of the park. It gives Eriksen far more space and time, plus it means opposition attacking midfielders like Hazard have far more work to do in terms of defensive duties, and reduces their attacking threat.The problem was his analysis hinged on "he goes missing in big games".
A) No he doesn't, look at how he ran Chelsea ragged.
B) That's more to do with the fact most number 10s anywhere in the world get shut down in big games because the number one thing top teams do is shut down each other's supply lines. They all "go missing" so it becomes up to the other players to make up for the fact that opponents will try and mark these players out of the game.
