Don't worry. Eriksen is here to stay for the long term. Conte isn't.

Dude, I agree with everything you are saying but jesus the man plays in midfield, he NEEDS to be able to track back, stick a tackle in, not be afraid of any physically duel. It's cringy watching him being so afraid of any type of duel. That's why I'm asking has he always played like this. Spurs fans were saying for the full last year he just didn't care and it looks the same. He plays with absolutely no intensity. Surely he hasn't always been like that?


Regarding being physical in his game, its just not in his playstyle - same goes for Michael Laudrup another former danish playmaker - throwning tackles left and right is just not part of their book, i think defense-wise they are both more of intercepting types.... Maybe people like them have been "taken out"/hammered immensely by tackles through out their youth careers or something?!?! or they might even think as a team we will do better if i can still make key passes, so ill avoid risking any injuries, I dunno!?!? however, the point is he has always played like this. And done really well doing so.

Regarding intensity/attitude he is as Scandinavian as they come, same goes for Kasper Dolberg another danish national player, but regardless of attitude they both deliver. No fuzz, just let the feet do the talking :)

However, knowing your an absolute a top-notch player that can make a difference unlocking tight defenses, and then in games that screams for these trades your still not being picked as starter must be mental hard, especially playing on a team that has lacked exactly this creativity you bring to the game, whenever faced by a tight defense.... So basically you come with the toolset needed and you know how to utilize it, however, part of putting these tools into play requires 1. the coach to play you 2. the coach to trust you and give freedom to excess your trade. Freedom meaning, not being a locked up bird in a cage e.g. constrained by some static zone shit.

How on earth would you as an individual and as a team be able to surprise your opponents and create chances if they on beforehand already know exactly how your moving patterns are in your static zone? that is like reading an old boring book and super easy to prepare against!

If I was in Eriksens shoes I would be filled with a feeling that I could deliver exactly what this team needs in abundance! if I was just allowed. Hopefully Conte will recognize that its such a waste of opportunities and quality to have one of the best play-makers in the world on the bench, or they might already have a plan rolled out that gradually he will be assimilated and play every game in a couple of months from now, who knows? Time will tell....

If any of you watch Eriksen at Spurs in his final 6 months it should not be a surprise. He didn't turn to shit the moment he arrived here, he played shit for close to a year and it is difficult for any player no matter how good to shake off bad form for that long. What he need to do right now is trust Conte and believe in his gameplan because if Eriksen is not willing to adapt to the manager system then he is a pointless signing.

Bullshit. Sneijder is the excatly the type of player Eriksen is and he had zero problem doing the defensive work Mourinho want from him like tracking back and tackling and helping his defence. If you switch Eriksen to the team that played peak Barca in the 2010 CL semi would we won if Eriksen play as passive? He need to buckle down and listen to Conte even if it mean he play with some restrain for the good of the team like Sneijder did for us. That kind of mentality win trophies and Eriksen is nowhere near it

But it would be shame to waste Eriksen's prime years waiting for Conte to leave. I really hope Conte finds a system which can utilize a true playmaker.

thing is, you can argue eriksen doesnt really work with a back 3.

In my mind, back 3 basically means you have two up front. You cant do two up front and an AMC unless you're gonna be really attacking.

4-2-3-1 would be ideal, or 4-3-1-2 but no one wants to see that shit again tbh

Hmm,

--------------- Handa
DD ---- De Vrij ---- Skri ----Young
------ Barella -- Bro -- Sensi
--------------- Eriksen
--------- Lukaku -- Toro

is one sexy line up though. It could work, but Barella and Bro would have to cover a lot of ground in this line up

I read yesterday that Conte has no intention of changing formations to accommodate him into our eleven.

I don't think anyone is thinking of formations, everyone is trying to do their best to keep their family safe.

If we played more Eriksen would have fit in sooner, but it's not possible for obvious reasons.

Width is an issue I hate 4312 for. We had it working with maicon but we will struggle to find full backs with that much energy unless liverpool wanna give us theirs.

I'd rather see a 4231. Selling Martinez means we can get an appropriate second striker rather than benching a 60-120m striker

This formation I have seen many people suggest is a classic case from the summer: people trying to stuff all of our good players onto the field at once while ignoring roles. I spent all summer telling people Godin - de Vrij - Skriniar wouldn't work well together even though they're our three best CB. Along similar lines, having Sensi, Eriksen, Brozovic, and Barella on the field at one time is a terrible idea due to redundancy. Unless you're playing some minnow like Lecce it's impractical to play Eriksen and Sensi together. This team teams a midfielder who focuses mainly on defense and ball distribution so Barella and Brozo can push up more. Brozo is great, but he's not nearly skilled enough defensively to be this guy.

Give the guy a break, he`s living in a hotel and Conte is stubborn about his tactics.

Eriksen forced to move

Inter star Christian Eriksen has been forced to move because of the Coronavirus outbreak, as the hotel he resided in has closed.

La Repubblica has revealed that the Inter midfielder has yet to find a house in Milan after his arrival in January and was staying in a hotel in the city centre.

But the newspaper reveals that the hotel has decided to close due to the Coronavirus outbreak and cancelled all the reservations, on the same day as the Nerazzurri went into isolation.

Eriksen and his partner were therefore forced to move and Inter have found a new place for the player to continue the training programme agreed with coach Antonio Conte in his new home.

If the season goes on and this guy still doesn't have a role, he's probably going to be transferred, and not for a great amount either.

Now you tell me whether you prefer to keep Conte with his Ashley Youngs and Victor Moses or keep a guy like Eriksen and build the team around him.... How many times are we going to make the same mistake?

Don't mind if we sale him. Not a big lose if you ask me. He badly lacks determination and fighting spirit, trying to avoid any contact possible. So far this purchase is a huge disappointment.

Speaking about Moses and Young. The Nigerian should ship away no matter what. Young must be prolong his contract at least for a year, I like him a lot.

Conte...I don't know man. He's a breeze of fresh air in comparison to coaches we used to have after 2010 but I really doubt his 3-5-2 will bring us some trophies.

I can see it now. The year is 2022. We've sold Skriniar and Eriksen to sign Marcos Alonso and Arturo Vidal. We're still playing a 3-5-2 with Candreva as starting RWB. After the retirement of Handanovic, the club has elected to name Berni captain.

Haha what the fuck are you talking about man?

Ruining Eriksen is a big mistake this club cannot afford. World class midfielde at Inter? Last time we signed one? Yes that was in 2009.
