I miss Jenas. I can't believe how quickly he's been forgotten & replaced.It is.
Until we lose, then it’s Trippier’s fault.

Could be. But that isn't really their style. Their style is to absolutely charm them and make their pursuit as obvious as possible.Could all be posturing by Madrid, a stand off over the fee.
Would love him to sign a new contract though.

The Pogba stuff has Madrid written all over it. The same things being said about Pogba, were said about Modric and Bale. With his agent and his issues, I think this will be the story of the summer.
I think its a matter of time before Pogba acts up. He'll have made a statement saying he wants to leave United before the end of June I reckon.
I still think Madrid won't stump up the necessary cash to sign Pogba.
IF Eriksen stays though, he'll have to sign a new contract. We can't afford to lose him on a free next year.
In truth, he can be both. Aside from the lazy comment and the “not played well since2017” bit. There’s plenty of valid criticisms about his form this year, but it’s also undeniable that he’s a key player for us. When he plays well, we play well, and when he doesn’t play well the team suffers.

The criticism is fair. But it has been way to much this season, compared to some english-men in our team. Eriksen has really not been to bad considering he has played all season without any rest, and we have lost 20 games is it? You have to look at the team in genereal, you would really only look at Sissoko and Son and said they've had a good season. For the rest of the players you really can't.
This. We've scored a lot less goal this season. That's not on one player. Our whole front line hasn't really clicked except for the odd games here and there. Son and Moura have had individual spells where they have been great. But as a collective DESK + Moura haven't reached the heights from previous seasons. I've said this many times but to me it's obvious that Eriksen is made the culprit for no good reason, while in reality the discussion should be aimed all our attacking players. It's often said on here that "When Eriksen plays well, Spurs play well". That's true to a certain extent but you can't just exclude Alli,Kane, Son from that equation. Just as they have a shared responsiblity when things are going well - they have a shared responsibility when things aren't going well.
Maybe it's the WC hang over, or the injuries, or the lack of competition, most likely all of the aforementioned. But it's certainly not down to one specific player wether we play well or not.
Well everyone is?Bullshit. Alli is lambasted to fuck in every match thread.
Many of the squad stagnated, and that's why it's so important to bring in fresh faces to up the competition both in training and in games.Bullshit. Alli is lambasted to fuck in every match thread.

....our set pieces are dogshit so unlikely to produce an abundance of goals.
16 set piece goals in the league was second best along with Everton. Liverpool had the most, with 20.
You definitely need to go have a read through Dele's then. All sorts of bollocks written about him in there.Well everyone is?
What I forgot to say was the player watch
Let's be frank here, Madrid look for players that are big game players, those that are going to win the CL for them. I don't doubt that they've been watching Eriksen and others for months, he would have been aware of that and any player would have his head turned. But in both games against Ajax and the final (not to mention he almost cost us against City) he went missing.
I'm happy for him to stay but I'd be loathe to give him a big contract without guarantees that he's 100% committed and not just coasting.
I do wonder what on earth people are watching at times. Bar Kane, we don't have a player who contributes more in big games than Eriksen. It is literally statistically false to claim he doesn't contribute in big games. Sure, maybe he doesn't completely dominate play in big games all the time, such as against City, but it's a bit fucking hard when he has to do it by himself whereas City have about 4 creative players. Even then, there are still many big games where he's contributed a goal or assist and played very well generally.
