We can… but Southgate is as dull as dishwater and will probably pick Henderson as our back up creative …..Nah I think he will be in. You see what he can do as per Wednesday's cameo

I loved Eriksen but he never would have reached the same legacy as Modric. Modric moved to Madrid at 26 and hasn't looked back for almost 12 years never mind what he has done for his country.Well... as I said...
Still remember souness calling modric a nothing player when he was at spursI loved Eriksen but he never would have reached the same legacy as Modric. Modric moved to Madrid at 26 and hasn't looked back for almost 12 years never mind what he has done for his country.
Eriksen moved to inter at 28 and at first struggled to make the team, I don't believe real Madrid had ever considered buying him in that time.
Eriksen didn't have the consistency that Modric had but very few people in world football has. Eriksen worked hard and had amazing creativity but he did on occasions switch off. Modric could work hard if needed but had such intelligence it wasn't always required he could effortlessly make space like he had all the time in the world and just seemed to know instinctively where everyone was and ping it to the best option open to him wherever he was on the pitch. I would say Eriksen is in my top 10 players I have seen play for spurs. Modric is in the top 5 players I have seen ever.
It is a shame what happened to Eriksen and we will never know what he would have gone on to do had it not happened but I can't see anyway he would have matched modric. Very few in world football could.
Thought Gio showed more drive and energy when he came on.I thought he was really poor first half today and though he improved a bit second half he still wasn’t good enough.
Slowed the game down too much, took too many touches and missed loads of opportunities to create quick attacking moments.
More like the Maddison at Leicester who I wasn’t a fan of at the moment.
You know what.... That just clicks for me. I do think some times GLC is a few steps ahead and is waiting for players to move for him quicker. Today we were moving quickly and he just slotted right in and helped drive us today.I don't think he was poor in the first half. I think he was being man marked out the game and as a result he'd drop deep to pull Burke out of the defensive line. When they subbed Burke he looked much better because he wasn't being marked as closely.
I've often said GLC plays the game like he's on speed and I think we needed that to help us move the ball quickly
He did get a heavy tackle at one point, but seemed ok afterwards.My stream said he went straight down the tunnel after getting subbed as if he had a knock. Anyone hear anything on this?
Burke (I thought it was Burke) did the same with Gio when he came on, just seemed to move it on a bit quicker than Madds.I don't think he was poor in the first half. I think he was being man marked out the game and as a result he'd drop deep to pull Burke out of the defensive line. When they subbed Burke he looked much better because he wasn't being marked as closely.

Not in top form but never "incredibly poor".Honestly he was incredibly poor. Both him and Bissouma bossed 10 games and have barely been seen since
