?? The key bit of that sentence is ‘on merit’, I even put it in bold so it could not be misinterpreted. If nobody performs better than Eriksen he obviously stays in the first XI.Talking about one of the best players in the league here, it would be utterley stupid to leave him on the bench.
If he stays and doesn't sign a new contract Poch needs to do his job and get his head right, get him refocused and integrate him into the team, just because we have shiny new toys it doesn't mean we should just discard the old ones especially when they are meaningful assets.
It's for his benefit anyway if he stays for now - if he plays well it puts him in the shop window when he leaves on a free next year.
