the pundits on our live broadcast were Darren Bent and Tim Sherwood and Bent made the following point which really highlights why playing Winks and Sissoko (on this occasion / this type of players) really does not help us IN CONTRAST to what happened after GLC and Eriksen came on.
The highlight was the Kane offside goal where both criticised Winks for releasing the ball too late, he had the time and space and if released earlier, Kane would have been on.
And Bent mentioned that how as forwards, you will make (or not make) runs depending on who is on the ball. And if your team mates arent the kind who can play you in (he was referring to Sissoko now), then after a while, you will stop making runs.
And why GLC and in particular, Eriksen, was so important to our attacking impetus in the 2nd half.
The highlight shown here was our 2nd goal where Eriksen picked out Aurier brilliantly and for Serge to cushion it to Dele who finished with aplomb. And the point here was - (i) Eriksen was the one on the ball (ii) Aurier made a forward run and was pointing where he wanted it (iii) Eriksen found Aurier
And that this would not have happened with Dier or Winks or Sissoko.
