Tottenham fans can have no complaints about the result they managed last night in Greece. Donning their flashy new 3rd kit for the first time, the Lilywhites succumbed to a 2-2 draw, despite being 2-0 up after just half an hour.
52 – Penalty for Olympiacos.

The complaints, though, have been aimed at one man in particular, and for good reason. Christian Eriksen was woeful during the clash, and he has rightfully been the man in the firing line.
It was the Dane whose inability to clear the ball led to Jan Vertonghen giving away the equalising penalty and at the other end, the often influential midfielder contributed very little either, with his sole involvement being to set up Dele Alli for a goal that’s celebrations were quickly silenced by the offside flag.
You can see what the Lilywhites made of Eriksen here:
Get Eriksen off please.

Eriksen hardly endeared himself to the fans yesterday, and after his shambolic display, you can certainly understand the frustrations of the supporters.
