The ESPN pundit has said the Tottenham Hotspur pair need to chip in with more goals.
Stewart Robson has told ESPN that Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Christian Eriksen and winger Erik Lamela need to weigh in with more goals this season.
The Spurs pair have contributed one Premier League goal in 17 top-flight games between them so far, which came from Lamela on the first day of the campaign.
Star striker Harry Kane has been missing since the middle of September and Tottenham are starting to feel the effects of his absence now.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are now without a win in any of the four games they have played since club football returned following the international break.
A much-changed Lilywhites XI lost 2-1 at Liverpool in the League Cup last night, while Pochettino’s strongest possible side drew with West Bromwich Albion, Bayer Leverkusen and Bournemouth over the past 10 days or so.
In times like these, Tottenham need goals from midfield, but Robson has told ESPN that Eriksen and Lamela are guilty of not chipping in with their fair share.
He said: “Eriksen doesn’t score enough. We’ve seen that. He’s a free-kick taker. And Lamela doesn’t quite score enough either. He came on today in the number 10 role.
“The players they have bought, like Wanyama and Sissoko, have given them more power, more energy, but it doesn’t give them a goalscoring threat.”
Fortunately for the North Londoners, Kane, who has netted over 60 times in two seasons, is due back some time next month.
Son Heung-min has done his bit up front, but Vincent Janssen, a £17 million signing this summer, has not yet scored from open play.
