While that may be true, if it is the case it begs the question if we are going to play that way why aren't the squad prepared. It's not like they don't know when the league starts, so while latter in the season we may see some great results the damage will have already been done and Spurs will be the nearly men again.

You don't seem to get it. Eriksen will not get that "free role" you speak about if he starts in the centre. The reason he was so effective in the first half was because his starting position was on the left and he drifted in.its unbelievable that people fail to see this.
From the BBC;
Don't you?? read the first bit you said... saw yourself winning is imagining the celebrations at the final whistle, and how many fucking 'likes' you'll get on Facetwat tonight... actually winning requires actual grit, determination, never-say-die attitude, and a refusal to be beaten... still, bet the selfie-sticks got a good work out at half-time... and make sure everyone is in nice and early on Monday for the Choreographed goal celebration rehearsals... gotta get those hand signal/fist-pump routines nailed down for the Internet/FIFAPro15 generation to wank over!

United and Stoke didn't seem to have fitness issues.
Then he shouldn't be on the pitch against then, especially against a combative team.
He had a very poor game giving away the ball and fouling putting us under pressure. However it was more that he is not a striker and thus the team shape when Kane went off fell flat.
Basically we don't have a cover striker and our system of play needs one.
No like for like replacement Kane means our attacking impetus disappears when he's not on the pitch. We were toothless after Harry went off.
Proble
50p would be lucky to monopoly
Lamelas first and second contributions in this game was 2 fouls! hes just not suited for this league, scared of the ball!
EVERY season we have a home game like this... Stoke, Wigan, Hull, WBA have all done it to us ...when is the wake up call gonna actually be listened to? HOW FUCKING LOUD DOES THE ALARM HAVE TO BE??
Lol I know. He's been starting for them tho.They've got more midfielders than we have.
You can just taste the progress we've made can't you. To say some of our play was shocking would be an understatement. Kane worked his arse off and didn't get much help from Dembele & Chadli. Eriksen does his best work in the same areas as Kane so they weren't able to do much for each other. The fullbacks provided zilch. Mason needs some games but he looks a long way from being a regular goalscoring midfielder.
The hall of shame: Chadli, another fairly anonymous display. Lamela was just attrocious. I've seen enough of Nathan Oduwa to say that he could give away clumsy fouls and fall over on the ball just as consistently as Erik, and might even create and score more in the process. Ben Davies is well below the standard set by Rose. Bentaleb seems to attract pressure, the opposition know he panics on the ball and get two men on him at every oppertunity and he obliges in giving the ball away.
Frustrating game. Frustrating start to the season. Frustrating lack of genuine progress from last season. We look just as exposed on the counter, we are, perhaps, even less solid in midfield and if it wasn't for Harry we would be completely toothless up front.
To say I'm unimpressed with Poch's summer work would be an understatement.

ENIC dont give a fuck .
They will just piss all over you.
He's not even a striker, mate
ok. levy is good at picking manager.
I think we need an older leader type player.Not necessarily carrick, but an older head.And he's a good a shout as any.

Poch has just said that Kane was taken off because of cramp.
So why was Eriksen so ineffective in the second half?
He stayed primarily on the wing, and barely drifted inwards.
Idk ... I'm just saying that he gets wasted on the wing. We saw it time and time again last season. Most of the times, he was pivotal when he got centeral/free-roam role. But when he was assigned to stay on the wings, he became anonymous.
