It shows he had a good work rate, which is all I was pointing out.
That's fine but you need to be mindful that no10's or playmakers normally look like they have high work rate because they are always looking for space to find the ball looking for gaps so they are constantly jogging around and on their feet rather than players who you'd think would be covering every blade of grass. Ozil usually has high distance covered for that reason.
Not saying Eriksen doesn't have a high work rate because he clearly does especially at Spurs but I see too many people using the argument as a defense.
