Pochettino said: “He is an elite player. It’s true that he is young and can improve, but I think he is a very good player,”
“Does he dominate games enough? That is a challenge for him. Maybe we need to go further and try to assess his personality, character, his position on the pitch, his quality.
“For me he is a player who has a good opportunity from now and into the future. He is a player that will improve a lot.
“He will get more maturity in the game and realise which aspects he needs to improve to be a top, top, top player.”
Damn right he can improve. Christian Eriksen had a hand in six of our goals in his last four Premier League appearances (five goals, one assist), but that’s 4 games out of 16 we’ve played.
Baring in mind he’s being paid over a quarter of a million pounds a month, asking for a greater level of consistency is hardly unreasonable.
