Honestly can not understand what a lot of the people in here expect from Eriksen. Him having to roam around with Sissoko as our only defensive midfield option will basically nullify half of his offensive abilities when he receives the ball just outside the penalty box on average. Imagine having De Bruyne as your DM and still expecting him to run the game. Wouldn't happen.

To be honest, a season in the Europa might not be entirely a bad thing. We really need to reassess where we are as a football team and a shock like this might precipitate that. We're going to lose Toby and Eriksen whatever happens.
True. We wont spend anyway so no big deal.

We can still assess when we're in the CL.

Whether we win or lose today there's still a long way to go in the race for top 4, chill out

I think we need to remember that we are playing away Liverpool, a title challenging team that has lost one game ALL SEASON. We've lost NINE.
It's not so much loosing that bothers me, it's that our team seem to have no idea what they are supposed to be doing.

I don’t really know what people expect. No players in 2 windows. Trying to compete with teams who have splashed the cash. If we get top 4 with the centre midfield and full backs we have it will be a huge over achievement.

Would we be better off trying either Jan or Foyth at a DM spot? It's been a while since Jan played there (i think he was there a bit with Ajax) but both are decent on the ball. Cant be worse than other options, right?

But surely you must agree we SHOULD be doing better! We are not Huddersfield, we are meant to be a top 4 team ...

Eriksen needs to wake the fuck up. If he's to play that deep he needs to go get the ball and dictate the tempo.

The games just completely passing him by here...

You are asking way too much from him.

Not quite! We're still third (just) and are in the QF of the Champions League.
A qtr final against the best team in the league who according to the logic you shared in your earlier post about liverpool only losing 1 we have to assume were gonna get bummed by.
