Eriksen has just scored a hattrick for Denmark against Bulgaria, currently leading 4-0. The Eriksen-show!

Awesome, glad to see him back on the scoring train. Need those three behind Kane to all get their share. 10 a piece.

Eriksen is a massive part of our team. I think because he's quiet, calm and reserved some people seem to confuse that with thinking he's on the periphery and we could get a better replacement. I think it would be very difficult to get a better player in his position who we could realistically afford/attract. Hope he stays for many more seasons.

Modric himself only just reached that level before he left.
Not universally admired
and many thought that Levy did well to get 30million for him.
Some even considered him too small and weak for the Prem.
As Joni Mitchell sang
you don't know what you got til its gone
Eriksen is 22 and top assister for the season.
The game is not only about tackling now is it.
Eriksen is just under a week older than me. If only id be so lucky to he 22 again.

Obviously a different level of player but Michael Laudrup would probably get pelters nowadays for not always barrelling about at 100mph. But ironically Eriksen isn't slow or lazy at all...

Completely different players really, Modric plays in the engine room and Eirksen one of the attacking three.
While I agree that's his role currently it does appear that Poch is trying to slowly transition him deeper and become more of that midfield engine type who can dictate the game for us.

Shame he won't be at the Euro's.

Whatever happened to Bulgaria... used to have some right hard bastards like Stoichkov in their team.

I wouldn't think he could play in a midfield two like Modric did though, maybe a midfield three but a midfield two may encourage teams to inflict rape-age upon us and steal our precious seeds lol.
