Well he’s not but someone more able to do the “central” midfield jobs as opposed to more attacking players

New 5 year contract
We really need a younger (and preferably more athletic) Eriksen, and Top 4 is all but guaranteed every season.
Brilliant today, best player on the pitch
Sublime today. Very good last match as well. Not a starter in most games, but could be quite useful if he keeps it up.
Class is permanent. We need a young player like him so bad, transforms our play when on song.
When he's given that amount of time on the ball he's absurdly good.
You want a prime Iniesta. Just say it!
He was good against Southampton and good today. I know he is slow, old and previously dead but he’s a classy passer from deep and retains possession better than any of our other midfielders
He's so classy man. Bummer he can't run anymore because the technical ability is still top tier.
When the intensity isn't higher than that, it looks more like a training session for him. His technique, composure and vision is top class.
Is it too much to ask, mate?He's a class act, deserved goals at the end
Should've been wrapped in cotton wool for the weekend.
His form always suffers when forced to play 3 games a week.

Ran the entire show. Wonderful footballer and really happy that he got 2 goals to his name. MotM for me.
Great performance under little intensity game and in his preferred attacking role finally.
If his minutes are managed correctly he could be a very useful player this season. Class act!
I think we need to fit him into the team, but the reality is it means dropping Bruno or playing him out wide. I can’t see us starting anymore with Bruno/Eriksen/Casemiro.
Who could have anticipated that? As if players are more comfortable playing their best position instead of being shoehorned into something else. Pretty sure though that this particular penny still hasn't dropped with ETH.
He's a much better player than Bruno.
Use Mainoo and Ugarte for the engine room behind and give him a free role. We'll be a far better team for it.

Danish zombie in his best form in a long time! Long may it last!
Of course not. Ugarte, Eriksen, Fernandes, one the other hand, could be an option. Mainoo cannot play every game.
Hard to drop him at the moment.
Should definitely be used more. He's still class and can contribute.
Never thought he would score a brace for us. Well done today, good assist as well
He was class again, such a quality player.
He’s just given us another top option in midfielder, with him, Mainoo, ugarte, Fernandes and Casemiro. There decent options. Not sure Bruno and Eriksen can start together though.
He was surrounded by willing runners such as Collyer and Garnacho to his left, with Ugarte and Casemiro behind him.
Almost floated around in a midfield 3 then moved across the pitch like he did at Brentford a few years ago.
There's a stark difference in the pace and tempo of the game when he's pulling the strings compared to Bruno. Not saying one way is better or more effective than the other, but it's a noticeable difference to consider overall if you haven't done so already.

He almost got old yellerd a few weeks ago
He's a great player as we already knew. Shame he's not at least 5 years younger but can still be useful, especially in Europa and cup games. Surely want start vs Palace after starting tonight and at Southampton but can see Eriksen getting minutes in 2nd half of that game.
The yin to Bruno's yang. Hopefully he came maintain his fitness.
Best player on the pitch. Class!
Angel Gomes can do it!
He's a creater.. With Case and Ugarte doing the dirty work, he was able to focus on creating chances and even scoring a couple
I wish we’d signed him a decade ago. We’re crying out for a young version of him.
When he plays in games like this he’s just an absolute joy to watch.

Everyone wanted him sold this summer. This is why a player of his profile is so important.
The architect
By a country mile. We just need to be selective in how & when we strategically use him.
It was a well known fact we had a good midfield in him and Casemiro. What we failed to do was replacing them (not like for like) but with younger players with similar qualities. Instead we went for uhhh.. I guess Sabitzer temporarily? which is understandable considering injury issue. But then we went for Mount right after that. And abandoned a proper midfield setup. It's so silly.
