What is the full eriksen chant?

Eeeeriksen sen sen, he's our Number 23
Eriksen sen sen, came to play for you and me
To the left, to the right, he's our midfield dynamite
When he plays in lillywhite, he makes Ozil look shiiite

Brilliant, brilliant song.

Come on, Townsend at least makes something happen, almost scored the winner as well, the only predictable thing here is the Townsend-bashing.
Lol. Townsend's aimless shooting that never go in and another one of his pitiful crosses ruined all of our attacks when he came on. Shooting all the time and getting close once does not fucking equate to "making stuff happen." This isnt fucking a bottom feeder club like QPR where we dont fucking create. We do create. Townsend is USELESS in this team.

He's a yid like you and me,
To the left, to the right,

Needs must, but I don't want to see Townsend and Clinton playing together again if we can help it. They both have their strengths (I'm trying to be kind), but I find it so frustrating watching attacking players with such poor footballing intelligence.

Clinton did some good and clever things. Not least the back heel in the box, and the cross on the break. Plus he helped stretch them, and gave more space for Kane and Eriksen to work in.

Townsend should write this one off however...

Well bossed another game after a Europa (away) game, and but for some lapses in composure would/should have taken all the points.

Kane looks like he's playing in a muddy bog and needs a long rest.

Dembele sub was poor, never gave us control or energy (I actually heard some claiming his comeback would give us energy :LOL:)

Lamela off was strange but it appears the right side is an issue for Poch as we've seen him put Eriksen, Alli, Mason, Carroll and even Dembele over there with poor returns, Andros looked like he was running into a strong headwind and just lacks football intelligence.

But we keep ticking over, and should have more bodies (Mason and Son at least) back for the Dippers, although Dier was rightly aggrieved at his booking by the woeful Mike Dean (loved the passion though) ruling him out of the game.

Disagreed strongly with the Kane substitution, he had just started to link up well with Clinton.

Agree with the bold sentence. But, I think that substitution is the better decision as i saw Kane looks a bit frustrating and not 100% on team playing, he must be confused by his own goal, and playing too selfishly after that. I'm just not expecting Dembele as the subs, more prefer Tom Carroll or Harry Winks, imo

Yeah, I'm liking the look of him. He's positive in everything he does. It's not always going to work for him, but he makes pretty good choices for a young player.

He was poor with his opportunities, but he does make things happen. "Things that happen" do not equate solely to what happens with the ball itself, but also in movements of defenders. Townsend causes disruption with his movement, he's just very poor at capitalizing on it. He creates gaps with his runs and aggressive dribbling, he's just poor at finding them. That is something, as it also blunts the opposition's ability to successfully counterattack, but it's admittedly not enough.

He's aggressive and unafraid to take defenders on, which is something we were desperate for the last two years. Better decision-making and maybe a bit more confidence to continue being aggressive in the box, and we'll have a fine young player on our hands.

Same old Townsend never learning. Why the h*ll he still too selfish?? Was he trying to be the man who won the game?? Come on Andros, you must have better brain than that

A draw wasn't a bad result after all as we played a full strength team in midweek. Very disappointed with Chadli today as he showed not interested at all. Townsend' s sub was wasteful and nonsense. Hopefully Son can come back after the break otherwise, put Alli forward and Mason Dier in the midfield.
