Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, was not impressed with the former Ajax star’s performance at Anfield on Saturday evening. Lawrenson has suggested that Eriksen is overrated.
“Even for me, Eriksen, I think for Tottenham to be a team capable of winning the league, they need the next person up from Eriksen,” Inside Futbol quotes Lawrenson as saying.
“I know a lot of people think he’s a good player and that, but I’m not sure he’s a player who’d play in a team who will win the league.”
Tottenham are second in the Premier League table at the moment with 50 points from 25 matches, as many as 10 points behind leaders and London rivals Chelsea.
