Charlie Nicholas has criticised Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Eriksen, Danny Rose and Serge Aurier.
The former Arsenal star believes that the Denmark international attacking midfielder is a passenger at the moment.
Nicholas, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, has also been critical of Spurs left-back Danny Rose, and believes that right-back Serge Aurier has been a “disaster”.
Nicholas wrote on Skysports.com: “Christian Eriksen is a passenger at the moment, so he doesn’t belong in the team. There is too much confusion at Tottenham. The manager is not the problem but there is something within.
“They have not signed players on longer-term contracts, like Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen. Danny Rose is an accident waiting to happen, while Serge Aurier has been a disaster.”
Improvement needed
Tottenham have not been in great form in recent weeks, and there is a danger that they could slip out of the top four in the Premier League table.
Eriksen is one of the best and most creative players in Europe, but the Denmark international attacking midfielder has not been at his best so far this campaign.
According to WhoScored, the 27-year-old former Ajax star has made six starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs so far this campaign, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.
As for Rose and Aurier, both the full-backs are looking off the boil, and they need to step up their game.
