I think he's a synergist, he's in the background making our team tick. He's not someone who dribbles past past players and creates a lot of chances for himself, he needs those players around them. That's why we should be looking at the likes of Isco/Berardi/Insigne in the coming transfer windows, we need more offensive minded players to compliment him

He had a lot more movement in front of him which helped him massively imo
Eriksen was so much better yesterday... just what we needed.
Funny to think that we were without Lamela AND Dele yesterday, and I feel with Son as well, we do have four quite similar players...
ALL could play behind Kane, ALL can have their wonder moments... but ALL (maybe with the exception of Dele) can allow the game to pass them by sometimes!
Maybe we perm two from four when they're all next available, rather than trying to shoehorn them in to essentially what is one or two positions!

Better yesterday, much better. Even saw him tackle a couple of times. He also appeared to have a bit of space to turn into when he got the ball as he looked like he was playing a bit further forward and outside to where he normally is. Gave him the chance go look up to see options.
Wasn't delighted to see his name on the team sheet beforehand, but he did more than enough to make me reconsider. Let's see the same in the next half a dozen matches.
Oh and watch some videos of Ozil taking corners. Lots of them.

I was thinking similar. Personally feel Alli is better playing deeper and should be rotated with Dembele, he is more a danger coming from deep, works all day but is not quick enough to be a wide forward. Lamela and Eriksen are both trying to do the same job and almost get in each other's way. With Son I would say he is a proper wide forward and should play.
Simply drop Alli deeper, player either Lamela or Eriksen not both and have Son playing in and around Kane. The balance is then better.
Eh? I'm an Eriksen fan... even though McGinn had him in his pocket at Hampden
No, you asked for a 'fuck off' button earlier. I was simply demonstrating a way around it.
Hopefully he has turned a corner, what we saw against Woolwich was much better already. He really has been poor this season, so time for him to get a good run going.
Nice backtracking mate. You talk much sense - already.
I realised that our players don't carry the ball and take on blokes as much as they can. Dembele and eriksen need to do it more, i called for it at half time against woolwich and dembele did it and won us a penalty.
Have we played any team as bad as Kazakhstan?
Holy shit what a goal, at first I thought that was Belgium's away kit and was very impressed. Then I realised it was Kazakhstan 'the greatest country in the world'. Still a beautiful goal mind.
