I think he's better yes. In and around the box I think he has more ability, but that's not to say I don't rate Holtby's chances, I do and have high hopes for him. Eriksen has already massive game experience, he was excellent against City in the two games in the CL, for example. Lewis was very good the other night, but lets remember who we were playing.
I agree with all of this, but the CAM role is more subject to differing levels of integration than any other position. While Eriksen could certainly do a job, he's being thrown in a pivotal role with particularly high pressure because of our current lack at the spot, and receiving the ball facing his own net having not the slightest clue where his teammates are behind him or where they like to go. He's an excellent player and the one I'm the most excited about in our new batch, but I just can't see that working out well in the Prem.
