You’re saying this like Eriksen hasn’t played well for us
Day 3 | Poland vs Netherlands | Slovenia vs Denmark | Serbia vs England
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
Bruno sometimes plays out wide and he should be rested as it's dumb playing him in some games when it's unnecessary. Bruno played himself into the ground last season.
He suits the pace of international football. And it's not like Eriksen hasn't performed well for United, before the injury last year he was good.
Cause they’re gonna get relegated again
Denmark look a bit suspect at the back. There’s something here for Slovenia.
Jesus George Hamilton and his over pronunciation of every name is wrecking my head
Eriksen
Agreed. And even here you can see he’s pretty useless when the whole team wants to counterpress. He has his strengths but he also has a lot of weaknesses. It’s boring yet predictable to bring EtH in every thread.
Anyone watching this game and thinking it's being played at anywhere near the pace of a Premier League game is a WUM.
Decent bit of a hold up there from Hojlund in a scenario where he often struggled this season, up against a CB, back to goal. Showed a stronger base. Been a bit quiet so far.
Or just dum
Well said.
It's dreadful and slow.
How do I block people on here?
Very easy to make the cheap digs . Do you want him to play in his favoured position instead of bruno then ?
Deleting your account blocks everyone.
When he plays for us he's in a midfield that's constantly being overrun in a position that doesn't suit him. He also doesn't suit our attempt at transitional football. Along with the fact we have no tactics and our midfield is never in a structured shape because our manager is out of his depth.
But it must be that he's suited to international football.
Eriksen has by far the best football brain on the pitch here, and he's not being run ragged in a system where he has a lot of ground to cover going backwards against a high intensity team, and consequently is shot after 50 minutes.
Pien Meulensteen is a good commentator. I think she's better than Matterface.
Eriksen is an attacking midfielder. We bought him off the back of a strong season he had playing as the most free of a middle three, then tried to play him in a two. The same as we did with Pogba and Van de Beek. They all looked worse as a result.
Honestly, we are not learning anything new about Eriksen this afternoon. We are just being reminded that our transfer policy has been incoherent for years. As if we needed that after Laurie Whitwell's write up of how we went from chasing Rice to signing Mount.
Expectedly, worst game so far
Boo hoo.
Truly poor game indeed.
They give him the freedom to do what he does best and let other players make up for his weaknesses. Seems to work .
Absolutely. It's closer to a Craggy Island Over 75s game than a Premier League one.
No shit the guy with no legs looks better here than he does in the best (and probably fastest) league on the planet.
wonderful buildup play by Denmark to open space snd then dummy holds it within the centre circle to let defence reset
United should sign this Eriksen chap. He looks decent.
Walking football.
I don't disagree with your points on the structure and how easily we get overrun but I also think Eriksen has slowed down considerably even compared to how he was before the injury last year. International football is a much slower pace especially playing against sides like Slovenia and I think that suits him much better. If he leaves this summer I could see him going to the La Liga or Serie A and having a lot of success.
Eriksen absolutely running the show. Hojlund not been too involved yet.
Eriksen really has been superb this half.
Wonder where have I seen that
That he was.
Should have been two.
He looks sharp to me.
Eriksen getting a bit too excited and being a bit selfish now. Understandable since he's barely played all season. He must feel free.
Heart devices banned in Serie A so that’s probably not an option. But I agree, he still has a couple of years left in a slower league.
