I think people greatly overestimate Eriksen’s consistency because they don’t see him every week. He put up great assist numbers this season but that paints an incomplete picture.I'll give Jape credit on this, I think a few years ago he said Eriksen isn't a big time quality player, I been blinded by the numbers he's put, but if you think about it, he was bad against City, Ajax and Pool. No thanks
For reasons I still don’t understand, match commentators persistently praise Eriksen as some kind of setpiece specialist. I don’t know what matches they’ve been watching but when he takes a corner you can bet it’ll fail to get past the first man. He has scored FKs but only very rarely.
He’s still one of our most integral players at the end of the day (try watching our creativity without Eriksen, it’s painful) but consistency is certainly not a new problem. That has been his big issue the past few seasons. Due to the extent of his role in providing creativity for our attack, it’s a huge detriment when he goes missing.
