Surprised you're focusing on a lack of creativity from Eriksen rather than from Lamela, Beece. Given that you've acknowledged that both of them are working hard in pressing from the front recently, surely if a lack of attacking prowess needs highlighting in the front 4 then the spotlight should be falling on Erik rather than Eriksen?
(To qualify this post, as I do with many posts about Lamela, I do think that there's a potential Premier League great player waiting to emerge in Erik, in the same way that I don't think there is in Soldado and Paulinho. But I want to see much more end product from Lamela - end product that Eriksen has in spades - and I don't think his general non-goalscoring-related attacking play is better than Eriksen's, hence why I'm surprised that you've brought the point up for our number 23 rather than our number 11.)

It's not ridiculous, he is our most talented outfield player so has different standards to everyone else. He also has an extra season under his belt as well as more experience pre-spurs than lamela.I understand this point but where I would agree with BC, is that Eriksen has properly arrived in this League, Lamela hasn't yet. He's working hard, and showing glimpses of quality here and there but he's yet to put it all together really - in the League anyway. Of course we should remain patient because I firmly believe this kid will become a very good player for us.
But back to Eriksen, his end product in terms of goals is obviously fantastic, and I know this sounds ultra critical, but he could be doing a bit better in some attacking situations. He's exceptionally talented and has the ability to deliver consistent incisive passing. He's a pure creator, with a real eye for goal, but there's much more to come in terms of creative output for others IMO.
Sounds ridiculous I know, but he's more in his locker in terms of creating IMO.
His rabona was the most "magical" thing I've ever seen in a football match.
I most often agree with mainly everything you are saying, but when it comes to Fazio I beg to differ.I'm assuming/hoping Fazio and
Against a pub team. You are such a fan boy it is laughable. He had his best game for spurs yesterday and was still one dimensional. I think poch is trying to intergrate him in to the team which is understandable.His rabona was the most "magical" thing I've ever seen in a football match.
There's no doubt who's the more valuable to the team of the two right now, I just expect more from Eriksen in terms of creating for others, I think as a footballer he is more intelligent and has a better developed/more composed footballing brain than Lamela so expect a bit more from him in that respect.
I think Lamela has more assists than Eriksen despite playing much less football, and most games seems to create one or two decent chances for people, Eriksen doesn't seem to have been doing that this season.
None of our creative players are creating enough, and I include Mason and the full backs in that, but Eriksen is tyne most intelligent of that bunch and would hope he'd have more than 1 assist at this stage of the season.
