Christian Eriksen

Does a player who doesn’t put his body on the line when an opponent is running past him really, desperately want to win?

The reason City finally won the title is they realised you had to be obsessed with winning as well as having the most money.

United often won through sheer determination.

Chelsea often won by being utter b*st*rds.

Talent only gets you so far. All 11 players need to be able to tackle these days.

I’d argue city won the league by having very little drop off between first 11 and the rest is the squad quality

He'll do well in a side full of talent, the better the side the better he will look in fact.


The thing is you don't need all your players to be strong mentally and we should be able to carry a luxury player or two and we generally have done that reasonably well the past few seasons but this year with no Dier/Alli/Kane/Son for extended spells it has highlighted what the players behind them lack

They can attract and afford almost any player in the world, why would they want someone who might turn up?
Let's not forget he has history of this. His national manager has called him out in past.

His national manager also said he is carrying an injury and needed it treated which he hasn’t.

Because we have no choice than to play him because our failures in the transfer window.

Lamela has shown when starting he’s not up to it

Sorry that ain't cutting it, he's an empty shirt.at the moment.
He can't pass, cross shoot, take corners, mark and as for tackling or winning the ball back we'd be better off with traffic cone. Lamela and Moura did fine at the start of the season.
Every excuse in the boom has been trotted out, good form last season means nothing just now, atm, now and for the 4/5 months he has been cack.

He hasn’t been at the top of his game - I don’t disagree but he’s not been an empty shirt.

He can’t pass? - set up two sitters yesterday

Can’t shoot ? Hit the bar yesterday

He’s running figures are up there so he’s clearly tracking back

The manager has absolutely flogged him this season,like previous seasons and we are now seeing the results of this.

Lamela hasn’t been in form since sept.

Passing, how many times has he given the ball away, plenty.

Hit the bar, it's supposed to go in the goal.

Running back and standing watching players go by him, no tackle, block, nudge, nothing.

Since when?

The lad is in a bad run of form. Give him a chance. We’ve also flogged him to death and he’s got the contract situation going on.

Eriksen is 26. His best years are to come. He’s also never been particularly pacy so it’s not like he’ll fall off the cliff like an Aaron Lennon or a Lee Sharpe.

Now, when we need him. Past and future form is irrelevant.
