Shite like a fox.To be fair, Eriksen had already succumbed to the “fecking shite corner kick delivery” virus that’s riddled our dressing room for years.

I’d point to Hanlons Razor hereAndy Carroll first went after Eriksen and then Casemiro. Casemiro was able to jump. Looking at both tackles, I have no doubt at all that Carroll's intent was to injure them both. He doesn't have a chance to reach the ball in any of the situations and he tackles with full strength and his whole body weight. It's against the 2 players who have changed United's midfield, and it makes sense to go after exactly those two if you're a real idiot.
Yeah man!Death to mega-threads!
Do you really belive that?
I'm convinced Carroll set out in the second half especially to hurt someone.
He was only on the pitch 2nd half for 20 minutes and yet he managed to injure Eriksen, he smashed into Malalcia with no attempt to even pretend to get the ball and then he tries to snap Casemiro in two. I don't know what the issue was but there's not a chance it was just unlucky or he didn't mean it. He went out to injure people.
As for us, it's just a massive fecking blow. Eriksen is quality and even if he's having an average game he can pop up with a great assist or an amazing pass to start a move that leads to a goal, he started the move that led to the opener on Saturday with one leg for feck sake.
We're not getting anybody in so it's going to be a struggle now in terms of creativity.
This.ETH has to bring this up in press conferences like other managers do
It's not hard to see why Andy Carroll is not playing in the Premier league anymore. But, they need to find a way to police that kind of behaviour. The FA cup is a financial godsend for clubs in the lower leagues when they can play premier league clubs at home. If they want to protect that income stream they should find a way to police themselves. Else the higher level clubs have every incentive to limit the cup to a competition among their peers only and exclude the riff-raff who are exposing their high priced talent to injury.Carroll's a thug; will be hard without him even though he probably needed a little rest.
I know they've only announced the severity today but they must have known pretty quickly so hopefully any replacement has had more than just this morning to be sounded out.

As far as replacing Eriksen goes, I suppose Fred will get the lion's share of the playing time, but I wonder if this won't be an opportunity for someone in the academy to step up. Maybe Mainoo, or Iqbal or Savage?
ETH hates the press and he is not the person to use the pressThis.
ETH has to learn to moan a bit. The PL and FA will do feck all until someone in media prints these stories. The influence of media talk on PL officials is crazy tbh
That sucks for us. Media drives the narrative and actions or lack thereof from PL, FA in the country. If only the other managers moan, we will not get penalties, will not get valid red cards for opposition.ETH hates the press and he is not the person to use the press
This.

ETH ain't a whiny little biatch but the day he speaks up about these pathetic refs they're gonna be torn a new one.Martinez gets elbowed in the face the week before and has to wear head gear in following games = doesn't even warrant a card.
Eriksen victim if two feet off the ground tackle, out for basically rest of season = not even a card.
Seriously what the actual feck. ETH has to bring this up in press conferences like other managers do. It needs to be highlighted.
Seems we’re signing a replacement
Sabitzer.We are? Who?
Sabitzer.
Maybe, but on the other hand, he is very strickt with media and thats the reason why we don't hear dressingroom drama. If he wants something, he keeps it behaind closed doors. I think the board know what ETH wants. The window is not closed yet and who knows what happends in the last hours.That sucks for us. Media drives the narrative and actions or lack thereof from PL, FA in the country. If only the other managers moan, we will not get penalties, will not get valid red cards for opposition.
I believe we are trying for a loan and as a stop gap option. Bayern may not agree though.Ok, cool. He’s decent. Are we actually signing him?
There is no cash to splash.Horrible news.
Have no confidence our owners will splash the cash to find a replacement in the midst of a sale.
Our top four ambitions have really taken a hit. I'd settle for fourth place right now.
I can imagine this going over well with those who blame the manager for playing club employee Christian Eriksen in a game of football
