He's 23 years old, possesses the highest technical ability of any of our players, he is our highest assister this season, is rarely injured, isn't on a ridiculous wage and will only get better. Some of you literally don't have a fucking clue.

He's absolute class I agree... Just wondered whether dropping him for a game but give him a bit of push again. I think by his own admission he's struggled to kick on at times in his career.

Definitely some people on here being way to harsh on him in my opinion anyway.

He doesn't naturally have the work ethic that Pochettino's players need which is a great credit to him as the effort he has put in is tremendous. It comes much easier to the likes of Kane and Alli. I love Eriksen when on song but there are days when he just can't ally his technical ability to the necessary workrate. I could see him move to a team promising to build around him with others doing all the running.

The only reason i'd drop him is to give him a rest.
That I'd disagree with. I think there are/will be some games where he can start on the bench as a dynamic option. I think it's actually good for him as he can becomes a bit stale in his attitude as we've seen.

If you look at coco, he's super consistent in his attitude and intention every game...Christian switches it on and off.

Again, I think I totally get what his national team coach was on about when he said he needing more from him, because he does have the ability to be super special, yet he holds some of it back at times and it doesn't do him any favours.

If you could transfer Coco's attitude onto Eriksen you'd have a phenomenal player.

He has improved his desire though and has tracked back more in the last few games and helped out, so there is progress there.

Needs to be more consistent with his corners though - lamela should be on them everytime when he plays tbh - for sure.

See all it took was me getting quoted in a Danish paper slagging him off and he bangs one in next match. Someone quote me to the Daily Fail saying hell will freeze over before we win the league

Shall I tell Messi not to bother turning up for the Ballon D'or?
You can start by laying of our players that are performing adequately and support the team. Following that you can make the call to messi

Good finish but hardly convinced me that he's not been poor this season and his attitude needs to change.
