From F365s winners and losers section: In a discussion over which player is most crucial to their teams success, there would surely be nominations for Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and Charlie Austin. But when discussing Tottenham, Harry Kane may be the first name on the lips of the uninitiated. Thats utter rot. Kane has been surprisingly superb, of course, accounting for the shortfall in contributions from both Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado. But to underplay Christian Eriksens impact would be criminal. If Kane is the PR campaign, the good news story and the poster boy for a new and improved Spurs, then Eriksen is the engine and creative force. His late finish against Sunderland was the tenth point his goals have earned Spurs this season. - No Tottenham player has scored more PL goals this season than Eriksen. - No Tottenham player has created more chances - Eriksen has 52 and the next best contributor has 30. - No Tottenham player has made more passes - Eriksens 1110 is almost 400 more than his nearest rival. - No Tottenham player has made more touches - Eriksen has 500 more than anyone else. Spurs made an awful lot of mistakes in the summer of 2013, but the purchase of Eriksen for £11m offsets much of that woe. Like Santi Cazorla and David Silva, he is exactly how I want my footballers to be: Quietly, but undoubtedly, magnificent.
