I know we are only 5 games into the season, so this may seem knee jerk but Eriksen's performances are slightly concerning me.
At first I just thought he's a bit out of form at the start of the season, but the more I see I'm starting to worry that the way we are playing doesn't suit him. He's not your typical "high energy player", more a typical Spurs player (flair, plays at his own pace, inconsistent).
Even though our 3 attacking players are supposed to interchange, more often than not he seems to end up on the right, where he is quite ineffective. Even when moving inside he just doesn't seem to be the player that ended last season.
This isn't a Poch bashing thread, but he's our best outfield player and we need to get the best out of him. Dare I say it but Sherwood actually got more out of him by giving him more responsibility and utilising him on the left cutting in or as a pure No.10.
Could be he just needs a kick up the arse, but I think it may be more than that.
