Christian Eriksen

I don't wont to argue with anyone who defends idiot who starts 5Gag in starting eleven. There's nothing to discuss there.

One of the best midfield players in strongest league in the world for years. Of course he is proven. Go and check his stats in PL.

I posted those stats in this thread several weeks back, so no need. You say he's proven internationally, but 4 points:

1) With 3 Europa and 2 UCL trophies out of a possible 20 in the last decade, EPL isn't the strongest league in the world
2) Eriksen is among the top in assists / chances created because he's played the most games/seasons. What is his record per 90 minutes?
3) How many times has Eriksen won player of the season or player of the month in EPL?
4) What personal accolades has Eriksen collected on the international or continental stage?

Given your forthcoming responses to the above points, I think we can agree that Eriksen doesn't qualify to be a centerpiece player for a team competing for trophies, but he certainly qualifies to be part of the Inter project. But that means meeting Conte half-way, playing the assigned role and carrying out assigned duties as instructed.

There's a quote by Jimmy Iovine (I often quote to the kids I coach):

"I always felt that I had to work harder than the next guy, just to do as well as the next guy. And to do better than the next guy, I had to just kill."

That's Eriksen's reality right now. Is it fair? Probably not. But Conte is winning games, 6 in a row, meanwhile Eriksen is underperforming in whatever minutes he's afforded.

Ok.

1) With 0 Europa and 0 UCL trophies out of a possible 20 in the last decade, Seria A is maybe fourth or fifth strongest league in the world. Maybe.

2) 5Gag is among the worst midfield players in Seria A
with average 16 passes per game, 65% passes being good.Tackles, possesion are also abysmal. He scores somethimes against relegation teams and never performs well against any stronger club in the league. But he's playing the most games in Inter. What is his record per 90 minutes?

3) How many times was 5Gag our worst player of the match ?

4)Theres nothing to be said here.

So what does 5Gag qualify to be a starter for a team competing for trophies, and to be part of the Inter project?

That's 5Gag reality right now. Is it fair? Of course fkn not. But Conte is winning games, 6 in a row, 5Gag is still and will underperform in whatever games, but who cares cause we are anyway disgrace of CL, and are playing one of the ugliest football ever seen by top club in top 5 strongest leagues in the world. Thanks 5Gag and thank U our beloved Don

Just hoping that last match against Spezia was his last starting in first 11,but hope is a bitch,especially if you are true interista.

Completely off topic, but I'd rank the top leagues as follows:

1) La Liga
2) EPL
3) Bundesliga
4) Serie A

Even with Barcelona in the gutter La Liga is still stacked at the top with clubs who win European trophies. Bundesliga ahead of Serie A because Bayern are so much better than anything this league has to offer; on the whole the two leagues seem fairly even.

With Bayern being the sole representative of B-Liga I'd go for 3rd/4th. But certainly we're not 1st or 2nd.

But while Gagz has had several bad outings, and is a trash ass player in general, he has at least shown something, whether it be a tackle or header or running aimlessly, but at least running not jogging . But if you wanna jog around the pitch doing fuck all, score a hat-trick first or get a couple of assists. But don't not do anything and then compound it with little effort.

I know what Eriksen can do given space and passing options, but like I've said before, better, more accomplished players have had to adapt to their circumstances and evolve their game to benefit of the team. Eriksen should be willing to do the same

What you fail to realize is that Eriksen has been given a clear indication that there is nothing he can do to help his situation. It is not up to him, it is up to Conte to accept that Marotta brought a player he didn't want to use.

There is also no evidence that Eriksen is unwilling to do what is demanded from Conte. He's done that already, but he gets demotivated which is expected for someone who is not appreciated by his manager.

I think this is the key issue. It feels like Eriksen is just demoralized when the reality hit him back then, already in the summer (when we started playing, it was such a short time he was here before the lockdown). It hit him that the coach asks him to do stuff he's not familiar with at all. And then coach demanding only that, meaning the defensive aspect of the game. That's the requirement. Against Cagliari, Conte shouted to Eriksen to stay deeper. Didn't allow Eriksen to attack freely, despite him doing pretty well out there at the start.

The truth is however that Conte uses rather Gagliardini than Eriksen because Eriksen does not provide the same stuff Gagliardini provides, for Conte! Sensi is clearly the sweet spot for Conte. He's more aggressive than Eriksen so that will do it already. I've been the biggest Gags hater here, knowers know. But still I've come to terms that Conte do not want to use Eriksen because Eriksen is not good enough defensively and Gagliardini is and that's the most important thing for Conte. Sensi also is, so he plays and he plays when he's fit because he also brings the offensive part.

How is he underperforming when he gets no minutes to underperform in

Seriously though, in his last game vs Cagliari he should've had 2 assists (Lukaku and Bastoni) and made 3 goal scoring chances in 25 minutes. Then the entire team was told to sit back and defend - which he did. He is not and will never be a good defender but he held the midfield shape and chased and closed down opponents like a good Gagliardini until he was brought off like some kind of scapegoat.

The game before he was the MOTM in just 8 minutes against Shakhtar. He injected more urgency into the team than the other 12 shitters combined.

The game before that? The 4 minutes vs Real Madrid? You'd have to go all the way back to October to the match vs Parma. Not a great show, but who did play well in that game?

Why is it that the "Eriksen has not shown enough" camp seem to never mention or acknowledge that the circumstances affect his performances?

Eriksen is probably terrified of making a mistake every time he plays. Every time he steps on the pitch he does so knowing that the coach hates him, wants to make an example of him, and is watching him like a hawk, scrutinizing him and just waiting for an excuse to bench him again. How is any player supposed to perform in such circumstances?

And please don't tell me "oh he's a pro, he's paid millions, if he can't hack the pressure that's his fault" etc. Why must we make such poor working conditions for our players in the first place? It's a vicious cycle.

People defending conte like to pretend as if conte never had any vendetta against specific players before..

There is no evidence Eriksen is unwilling to do what is demanded from Conte but I'm sure there is tons of evidence that Conte doesn't want to accept that Marotta brought him a player he didn't want and therefore he is punishing Marotta, right?

I just posted this in the FIF whatsapp but worth showing the rest of you cos this is just tragic.

The players who don't play on matchday always stay behind and do cardio workouts with Pintus on the pitch after the game. Eriksen is always part of that group because he never fucking plays. Eriksen also stays for 20 minutes after the athletic training and practices set pieces by himself and stands there holding his hands up in front of the curva as if imagining a crowd cheering for him. How can you not feel for the guy.

He knows Interisti loves him

Btw #EriksensFault #EriksenIsLazy #EriksenDidntTryEnough

He's probably just stretching, cunts.

He just has to hold onto the end of the season. Scudetto or no, it would be an absolute travesty and a disaster to continue with Conte. Help is on the way.

Yes, there actually is a lot of evidence for that. At least half of that.
The "punishing Marotta" stuff is just as childish an opinion as the one that claims that Eriksen "doesn't show his worth" in the limited minutes he gets under usually bad circumstances.
