Totally agree. It's the Alli, Kane, Eriksen performances that are starting to concern me. All 3 have been shit so far and very little sign of shaking that.
An awful lot of hope is being pinned on Dembele's return being the missing link but it's worrying either way.
I think Kane is more tired than they're letting on. Subbing him instead of Eriksen or Janssen for Onomah confirms it I reckon.
And now he won't get any rest over the international break.

No, it's not fine. There's no synergy between them.
I keep saying it like a repeating clock but even last season I was saying the balance of the AM's isn't right, Eriksen Lamela and Alli all sort of do the same role even if they have different abilities.
With Janssen we have someone to play off, Kane a deep lying striker, need a speedster like Martial to get round the back then a passer to put it all together with our front 4. Alli.Lamela and Eriksen are all playing like the passer. To many cooks. Liverpool have a better attacking balance, we have a better defensive balance.
Lamela with a goal and an assist to his name but has been mediocre tbh - concerning.
Kane looks fatigued - highly concerning.
Alli has simply put been poor - worrying.
Eriksen has been mediocre too - worrying.
We need them to kick on and we'll back to our true form (I hope). That's why our 5 points in 9 is a sign of strength! So many are underachieving and we're still very hard to beat. We can thank our back 4 and Vorm for that.

But Zionists have lowered themselves to that already.
Israel, anyone?
You think our team need less pace? Wanyama is our fastest midfielder in our starting 11. At least Dembele is faster than Eriksen who should be dropped.
What is Dembele going to do that Wanyama or Dier can't do in a defensive position?
They defended brilliantly. Dier crossed for the goal. Wanyama won us 3 points
I can't believe be you are zooming in on the few positives we have had this season.
Dembele will defend great. Just like Dier and Wanyama did. There will be no change to results with a rusty Dembele replacing one of those.
If Dembele replaces Eriksen further forward, then we will see real change. Some stickabikity.
We will still be slow but more effortless dribbling in the final third is what we need. We will not only hold up the ball where it matters with Dembwle, but we will win way more balls there.
Who is around Dembele in this instance? Kane. Who has been starved? Kane.
Criticizing Wanyama and Dier? Thank fuck for them. We would have lost every game without them. Wanyama scored a winner.
Both were involved with all points won.
I hope to god Poch doesn't change Dier and Wanyama. We need dribbling and penetration in the final third. We need power to link up with Kane.
I'm worried Poch will go in your direction. He's showing a lot of commitment to Eriksen who was abysmal in this specific team.

bro, i totally agree with you man.... His passes were mostly taken... lost passes all the time... devoting free ball for no charge.... Son should have played instead
Umm I hate to be that guy to ruin your bad mood, but we lost to Newcastle twice last year.
Oh Vince, I thought your vacation made you a bit more sensible.
P.s not that it matters, but I'm not a Zionist and even if I were deducing from state actions conclusions on regular people (or their ideology) is stupid.
It's simple. The elephant in the room in this forum is they can't admit Eriksen has been the weak link in midfield.
He lost the ball on countless occasions and gave Liverpool their best chances.
It really is the Lamelaphant in the room. There is a lot of pride at steak from the loudest posters on this forum.
They can't budge, admit the truth that Eriksem has been the weakest link on the pitch.
Wanyama was great defensively. Saved our bacon after Eriksen and Lamela lost the ball in front of him over and over resulting in most of Liverpools chances. He did his job.
The players tasked with supplying Kane and Janssen? They are the issue.
Another thing, in that small up and down Cameo of Onomah where he made some good passes and runs but also lost the ball once or twice and got caught offside it showed why Chadli, Mason, Carroll etc are being got rid off.
Onomah did some good and bad but he did something, what worries me if we don't sell the like of Chadli is that we have players who other than the odd goal don't get stuck in. Liverpool showed today the importance of every player getting involved, we cannot carry passengers.
Eriksen also needs seriously to raise his game, that's three awful 3-4 out of 10 performances in a row, if he is not going to win tackles or control the ball under pressure he need to make it up by scoring or setting up goals.

Vorm, Rose and Wanyama were all very good.
Thought Dier was also very good, so skilful with the ball. It's not the back end of the team that has the issues.
Harry needs a hamstring tweak to keep him out of the meaningless England squad. He just looks so slow, in movement and thought.
I agree with most of this but I think Kane was the worst spurs player. 2/10
He wasn't involved and the few times he had the ball he was too slow or missed the pass. Is he going to the England games now? Hope he doesn't play.
What on earth is wrong with Eriksen? Is the contract thing messing with his head?
Edit:
Liverpool had no problem using the 9/11 memorial to advertise their new kit, their whole "remember the 96" thing is hypocrisy.
