Eriksen takes share of blame

Janssen is facing the fans' ire with the Amsterdammers mired in the middle of a run of one win in seven games - and that coming against Noordwijk in the KNVB Beker. But highly-rated Eriksen feels he too should be questioned. The Dane told NUsport: "I have been relatively spared. "All the criticism has gone to Theo Janssen and that is undeserved. They can also check out to see if I have been running the midfield. I find it ridiculous that all the criticism is directed at one player." Eriksen also expressed his frustration at the fact he had not played recently in his more customary attacking midfield role. He added: "I am better at number 10. I like the freedom to roam right or left. "That's how I was trained and it feels natural to me."
