Well we miss players who are good at the midfield stuff.
Yes, of which Eriksen is one. If he plays today our forwards are in the game and it's a difficult away game instead of us getting thrashed in slow motion for 90 minutes.
We've played a number of games at the start of the season with him amd no Casemiro and have provided good service to our forwards and had some ability to, at least in spells, dictate the game. The same away at Arsenal.
EVERY game where both him and Casemiro have been missing we've had no effective midfieldat all, and that includes against one or two lower league sides.
I assume Sabitzer was brought in to try and address this but honestly I still don't even know what he supposedly does, never mind if he's any good at it or not. I would much rather gamble on the useful Fred turning up (also lightweight) than rely on a couple of 6ft blocks of cheese.
