Eriksen tops the distance covered charts every season. Has done since his first season at Ajax.
And that is why Lamela is a good replacement because his engine is endless too.
But Lamela fell foul of it (his effort). Like I said, Eriksen IMO is lucky to put that much effort and not get sidelined. Probability dictates he's due a long stint out.
Actually luck is only part of it. Poch rested him at the end of the season so he's aware of it.
Eriksens miles covered needs a specific player to replace him IMO. Initially Lamela struggled but he worked hard to prove himself. I feel bad for him.
But truth be told I think him out was a positive for us squad wise. If he leaves at least I won't be frothing about the probability of Eriksen and Lamela's clash of styles (when they play together alongside other slow attackers, we are too slow as a unit IMO).
