I wish he’d use his right foot. He’s so left footed. Just show him onto his right foot and he’s fucked.

Would you sign this season's Eriksen? Or even the 2019 Eriksen? Whilst the contract issues are pissing a lot of fans off, you can't deny that he has not been good enough

Our whole squad desperately needs some viagra. Everyone is so timid and flaccid at the moment.

Not really. I'm happy he's leaving and didn't think he was anything other than what he's always been and that's a 10 masquerading as a MF. I've always wanted a more rounded attacking MF.
CE not being able to carry the ball or hold it against pressure are not qualities I want in any MF on my team. And I say that as I acknowledge the qualities he does have and how he's played in the past for us. But 5 years with 1 'creative' player is ridiculous.

Hopefully Jose is coming around to the realisation that Alli is not worth pinning his hopes on.
Lamela and LoCelso did more in their cameos than he has in the last three (full) matches

He’s not been great, but very few of our players have. I think he’s been singled out more than others because he’s leaving. Though Dele seems to be getting similar levels of anger now so maybe not.

The one positive from Kane being injured is we are forced to play it on the ground. Long ball is no longer an option. This to me exposes the underlying issues we have and also benefits the players who are actually clever in possession. Lamela, Celso, Eriksen, ND will all benefit. I think long ball football is a good option sometimes but only when you have a clever ground game. Having no Kane will force Jose to play players that can move the ball well and in my opinion we are better as a team playing the aforementioned.

The amount of games he’s won us in the past with assists and goals is huge. 2016-2018 he was pretty phenomenal.
My brother is a dipper. All my mates are dippers. I'm dreading this game as we could get absolutely battered based on our current form.

I don't think there is anything wrong with playing long ball - as long as it's one of our options. The problem comes when it is predictable, which is what I think we've seen most of this season. It's easy to defend against and then we are on the back foot.
Toby has always had the long pass open to him, he just didn't use it quite as much before.

If we play like we did in the first half then yes think fuck knows how many they will get. Liverpool have rested there best players today.
