Christian Eriksen had an indifferent game for Tottenham Hotspur today.
Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter reckon that Christian Eriksen is playing like a man who doesn’t want to be in North London any longer.
Spurs beat Huddersfield Town 4-0 in their new stadium to move third in the Premier League table this afternoon.
Goals from Victor Wanyama and a Lucas Moura hat-trick got Mauricio Pochettino’s side over the line but there appeared to be a distinct lack of interest from Eriksen.
The Denmark international, who has been linked to Real Madrid and Barcelona since the turn of the year, produced a rather lifeless display and was particularly poor from corners and free kicks.
Here’s how Tottenham fans reacted to Eriksen’s display:
There’s no denying that Eriksen’s form has tailed off in recent months, but a season-ending injury to Harry Kane means that he is an even bigger player for the Lilywhites between now and the end of the campaign.
Pochettino, whose side have a second leg at Manchester City in the quarter-final of the Champions League next week, needs him to step up.
Eriksen, who hit the post and set up Lucas’s second in the space of 10 minute toward the end, did improve, but it wasn’t a vintage display from the former Ajax maestro and time will tell whether he can be Tottenham’s go-to-guy over the coming weeks.
