His injury history alone is to much of a risk in my opinion and he also has spells where he completely disappears out of games.

Not this season, no. He’s running the show for Brentford nearly every game in a way very few players are able to do.
His injury history isn’t that worrying tbh. It’s his illness that truly set him back so if that’s under control I don’t see why he’d be more of a risk than others - if he can play most games until summer without major injuries.
 
It is beyond me, that neither EtH nor Amorim still has not played him at 10 with better runners in midfield. The argument that he faded in Tottenham is false. Mourinho didn´t play him, much because he was going (Mou has stated that). Before that, he was playing most of the season before Mou with an injury. Conte did not play with a 10 at Inter, so he ended up playing him in a flat three. Frank gave him a lot of freedom to play between the lines at Brentford, which turned out very good. He can play in CM but only with Ugarte, and it is NOT his best position. He is much better in the last third as you saw in his little cameo on thursday. It was against the worst team in the PL, but you can only show your class, when given the minutes to do so. There is the pressing argument that goes against him in the Amorim system, but then again. Chips like that one and more goals (yes. He scores more, when played at 10) should compensate for that. He has no problem going for 90 minutes for Denmark and he didn´t have any in the beginning of this season either, when EtH played him all the time.
 
The old wily fox. What an assist. That’s the perfect way to use him. Carroll ended his time as a consistent starter, but he still has magic.

Our only top notch passer. With our static and not very creative way of playing it surprises me he does not get more minutes.

Amorim obviously doesn't rate him, and he's not the future. However, we are currently lacking players like him. If it were up to me, I'd play Ugarte and Collyer behind him, allowing them to do the running for him. This way, Eriksen can still do his magic and contribute a lot.

You don’t remember him in the team against Newcastle? The way we used him against Southampton was ideal, he should be nowhere near Premier League central midfields now. We could play him as a 10 but it wouldn’t work with Bruno there and we need 10s who can press.

You could move Bruno in to midfield and take Mainoo out of the firing line, then have Eriksen in the 10.
