Son lost the ball under pressure today. Ndombele lost the ball under pressure today. Kane lost the ball. Rose lost the ball. Sissoko lost the ball. And so did Eriksen lose the ball.He is useless under pressure. How many times did he lose the ball under pressure in midfield today again? Probably close to 10 times. It's been like that for ages. He is so scared of any sort of challenge in order not to risk his dream move away due to injury that he just gives the ball up without a sliver of fight. He is still great when he is facing forward with time to pick a pass. However, that is not good enough.
Thank eff we had Ndombele on today who can not only hold on to the ball, but also shield/dribble away from pressure.
It's almost as though we weren't showing for each other when in possession, and communicating on the pitch.
Which has been a problem since February.
