Sabitzer for either Antony or Sancho was the only way. Not Fred (a hectic player) for friggen Eriksen (an assured player).

Although I agree with the sentiment. Eriksen has about 55 minutes in him tops before he falls off a cliff. He's a liability defensively anyway, it just gets worse as the game goes on.

I’d have put legs in next to him and Casemiro. Sabitzer could have done some of that pressing and chasing back. Fred for a winger even wouldn’t have been bad. I just didn’t get it as a straight change when Eriksen is one of our better players at keeping the ball.
