Simply Not Good Enough: 3 Tottenham Players Who Should Step Up Ahead Of The West Ham Game

It’s a very long season and many things could happen, especially when it comes to the Premier League, as most of the teams have constant action due to the big amount of competitions they need to face on a weekly basis.

That’s why every contender needs to have all their players in the same page, as one single mistake could end your possibility of winning the silverware at the end of this very long season. One of the teams that’s currently on the verge of an amazing season (especially in the defensive end) is Tottenham, as the Spurs are once again competing for the Premier League title.

However, some of Pochettino’s men haven’t been showing their best form during this first half of the season, and the Yiddish need them to peak during the second half if they want to actually compete for the greatest honors. Today, we’ll discuss the performances of 3 players that should step up after the International Break if they want to stay at  White Hart Lane.

Christian Eriksen

Eriksen has been one of the most reliable and consistent players since his arrival at the North London institution. His talent is beyond words and he’s constantly shown what he’s capable of doing with the ball on his feet.

However, the talented offensive midfielder has been having quite a subpar year given what’s expected of him, as he’s supposed to be the catalyst of the offense of a team that’s really struggling to send the ball to the bottom of the nets.

Even if Eriksen isn’t at risk of being benched or sold, he better gets his act together soon, as his team relies strongly on him and his offensive talent, and they need him to step up if they’re going to make a run at the title.

Erik Lamela

The Argentinian forward is one of the most talented left footed guys in Europe, as he’s shown since his River Plate days with his amazing crosses, dribbling and outstanding shots from short and long range.

However, he’s been pretty inconsistent for most of the season, and he’s been having better games when he comes off the bench instead of whenever he starts. Lamela needs to find his groove back, as he could be one of the most effective substitutes in the league, and Tottenham needs some offensive options off the bench considering how long this season is and how difficult it seems for them to break opposing defenses at times.

Moussa Sissoko

This French midfielder was one of the biggest surprises of the France national team during the past Euros, as he was in total command of the center of the pitch during most of the games and was a total lock down on defense.

Those great performances made him flee from Newcastle United, but that great level hasn’t translated to what’s expected from him at Mauricio Pochettino’s team, and he better start to demonstrate what he’s capable of if he doesn’t want to lose his spot in the starting berth.
