Charlie Nicholas says Tottenham Hotspur fans booing Christian Eriksen are pessimists searching for excuses

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen was on the receiving end of jeers from the fans as the teams were read out before midweek’s FA Cup third-round replay with Middlesbrough and when he made way for Giovani Lo Celso against Liverpool on Saturday.

The Denmark international could be joining Inter Milan before the end of the January transfer window or wait till summer when he becomes a free agent.

Either way, Eriksen’s days at Tottenham are numbered, and his recent performances haven’t been particularly encouraging.

Nevertheless, he doesn’t deserve to be booed, and Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has a word for the Spurs fans jeering him.
