I was with you until you mentioned giving Eriksen a run of games. How much more games does he need?People will talk about Spursyness or something, but in both this game and Arsenal we were fortunate to go 2-0 up. More so in this game.
The problem is we are unable to control any game apart from against the flimsiest of opponents (Palace). We look so open to the counter when our attacks break down and too often we’re stretched around the pitch
I don’t know if sticking Dier in as DM is an answer, because he’s looked so short of fitness and form for a long time, and then there’s the question of the make up of the rest of the midfield.
My hope is we can get DESK playing together for a run of games, establish a better pattern of play through them, get some consistency at FB, and then there will be less work for the midfield and CBs to do as a consequence.
