da cassino online: Tottenham picked up yet another historic result under Mauricio Pochettino on Tuesday, and the performance of Christian Eriksen was nothing short of exceptional.
It’s been a weird season for Tottenham, because at times it has felt like they are completely off the boil, and yet the North Londoners are through to the last 16 of the Champions League and just six points off the top of the Premier League.
Eriksen has been one of a number of players to take criticism from fans this season, as until Tuesday he hadn’t quite hit the heights of previous seasons.

The Danish international’s form is absolutely crucial for Tottenham, as he is the one midfielder who always finds positive, incisive passes.
His Tuesday night showing at the Nou Camp was the type of performance that the away fans will remember for decades, and he completely bossed the Barcelona midfield in their own back yard.
The 26 year-old touched the ball 83 times, more than any other Tottenham player, and also completed 55 out of his 60 pass attempts, with 31 of those completions going forward.
This is the type of bravery and composure on the ball that you only get from truly world class players, and his passing range continues to vindicate Pochettino’s decision to use him deeper in midfield than previous seasons.
He completed two key passes, and it was his superb diagonal ball that started the counter-attack leading to Lucas Moura’s goal.
Tottenham’s midfield maestro isn’t all about flair and creativity though, chipping in on the defensive end on Tuesday night with three interceptions, one clearance and one block.
Eriksen’s form and influence is perhaps the biggest key to Tottenham’s success, and the Danish superstar is hitting form at the perfect time of the season.
So, Tottenham fans, how impressed were you by Eriksen’s display on Tuesday? Is he now your most important player? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below…
