Dunno mate, calling someone a pussy isn't appreciating the other facets to their game I'd say! (Top post. One thing, though. I'm not so sure people aren't appreciating what Eriksen does do? I think it's more of a case that they feel he could perhaps do more?
I think Eriksen is a cracking little player BUT he doesn't appear to be at the same level he was last season. Is that fair comment?

I'm not trying to suggest you have called him such of course.)
Obviously it's fine to criticise our players when it's sensible it just seems that some see only the negative?
As for the man himself, I'm really hopeful that Pritchard might be a real kick up the arse for Eriksen who sometimes seems a little bit too comfortable?
Just gonna leave this here

I don't think Spurs fans dislike him. It is just that they expect more from him, which may be unfair. I think a lot of us expect him to be a leader in our side.I still don't understand why so many on SC dislike and attack him,.... but there you go
<bring back the shrugging smilie>
4 out of the 8 (all comps) this season and 1 of his 3 goals.How many of his assists are in open play?
I don't think he attracts the outright hatred that Lamela gets, its more utter frustration from a contingent who don't quite see what he does during the whole game and not just the money shot moments that Alli, Lamela and Kane have had more of recently.
Having said that he is not a tyro in the oppo's final third like Kane, Alli and Lamela with their manic pressing and closing down. I don't think you are going to get that from Eriksen but he does a good job of reading the game and closing down the channels. He just does it more quietly then most. Plus as some others have said here, he has spent more time this season playing deeper and picking up the ball in CM and quietly starting moves in our half.
