It's where they are in importance I'm getting at. With Simons or Maddison, everyone's looking at them from both sides, so it's easy to shut them down. With Eriksen, he benefited from playing with alot of other good players who were also a threat - an opponent couldn't just target him.
The way we are playing without a playmaker (now and at the start of the season) it's almost like no one's a threat, so no one is targeted.

Gotcha.

If we can start next season with, say, Kudus, Maddison and [insert LW option], then it opens the pitch up considerably.

Good point. No need for one with a front three like they had with runners from deep and TAA pinging crosses in.

Hard to agree with that completely when Salah, Firmino and TAA were so creative for them - by definition players who create goals are playmakers aren't they?

Modric was a playmaker and his assist total would have been low so it's not a case of creating goals = playmaker
