Jamie Redknapp has showered praise on Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen.
Ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Wembley, popular football pundit Jamie Redknapp has said that that the Reds cannot afford to just focus on stopping Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
The former Liverpool midfielder says that Eriksen has started the season in sparkling form, and he is a danger man for Spurs.
The Denmark international has established himself as one of the key players for Spurs, and this season he has been in very good form.
Redknapp says that along with his ability to score long range goals and free-kicks, Eriksen is now getting more into the box. And Pool defenders – Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren – should consider him as a threat.
Eriksen has scored three goals, and all of his goals have come from inside the box. Most importantly, he has scored some important goals like the winner against Bournemouth that earned Spurs their first victory in the league at Wembley.
The former Tottenham player adds that Eriksen has developed himself from a creator to destroyer.
Liverpool are heading into this game on the back of 7-0 win against Maribor in midweek, while Tottenham drew 1-1 against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
“Liverpool’s defenders cannot afford to just concentrate on just Harry Kane and Dele Alli on Sunday. Christian Eriksen has started the season in sparkling form and is turning into a danger man for Tottenham, too,” wrote Redknapp for the Daily Mail.
“We all know about his ability to score 25-yarders and free-kicks. Now, Eriksen is getting into the box an awful lot more and Liverpool’s centre backs — Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip — must be alert to this threat.
“All three of Eriken’s goals this season have come from inside the box, including his winner against Bournemouth that secured Spurs their vital first victory in the league at Wembley. Eriksen has gone from Tottenham’s creator to their destroyer.”
