I think he is a very good player and has a lot of ability. However I do agree with some of your points as the protection, justification and praise of him is at times way over the top. Its almost like a cult following. If he plays bad its because of his position or the formation or because of the weather. Some people seem to be incapable of criticising him. He had a few awful touches yesterday and there were a couple of times he couldn't control the ball or gave it away needlessly. Including one where he did drop deep to collect the ball and then gave it away in a dangerous area. If that had been Sissoko he would have got slaughtered. He did make one nice run, but apart from that there wasn't much from him at all. And Moura makes those runs all the time and he gets heavily criticised regardless of what he does. I dont understand why players aren't judged objectively and on their performances.
PEH has been a breath of fresh air in our midfield, so deserves a lot of praise. There's still a long way for Tanguy to go and he's certainly not hit the Eriksen heights as yet but im hoping he will.
I think Mourinho has played this spot on so far.
he's just about done as much as Eriksen did in the past few years in his opening few games this season
