Tottenham came back with a bang against Red Star Belgrade as they romped to a 5-0 victory, and did so without Christian Eriksen, who is considered one of their most creative outlets.
The Denmark international was left on the bench as he is still recovering from a dead leg he picked up on international duty, but considering his downturn in form, and the possibility that he will leave soon, many Spurs fans are happy that he didn’t come on.
It turned out that they didn’t need him, either, with the front three of Harry Kane, Erik Lamela and Son Heung-min combining well throughout on Tuesday.
As a result, some supporters would be pleased if Eriksen never played for the club again, and would likely be glad to see to back of him when he does eventually depart, with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
It is a big decline for a player who was once a pivotal member of the squad, but his one goal and one assist in 11 games shows he is no longer performing at his highest level for Spurs, so it may be best for both parties – and the fans – that he moves on.
Here are some of the reactions to Eriksen’s absence and the wishes for him to never play for the club again.
