He's quite easily the worst footballer in our starting eleven each week now. Zero debate.
Such an awful footballer with zero signs of improvement in him. Fuck him off in the summer back to the Championship and just find a new right back. Anywhere.

Has 0-0 or 1-1 written all over it, especially after Brighton just pulled it off against Wolves. Hope I'm proven wrong.
All this Trippier talk remembers me when United won the Champions League playing with Wes Brown as RB. I want to believe!
Yeah, that's depressing.Kieran Trippier absolutely wishes he was as good as Wes Brown was at RB that year
Mindblown is just an emotional lad that gets easily frustrated and last night was just one od those frustrating nights. What's wrong with being a little bit expressive?
Fuck they have short memories was 1-0 to the ar-sen-al not a thing at one point?We're the lucky bastards??? :eriksenlol::eriksenlol:
Was a thing for 30 years wasn’t it?Fuck they have short memories was 1-0 to the ar-sen-al not a thing at one point?
Sorry to nitpick, but you spelled "turd" wrong.
What utter bollocks.
What most people acknowledge is that he's just a very, very good footballer who's regularly produced - and has this season despite playing a deeper role for much of it. He's got one less assist than Messi FFS, who is one of only three players (Hazard, Sancho, Messi) who have one more than him in the whole of Europe. He creates more chances than anyone at our club (double that of Alli, Son, Lamela, Kane, Sissoko, Moura) whilst still getting through more ball than all our midfielders/AM's and forwards bar Winks (by 1 pass per game).
We all know he's not perfect, he'snot a trojan defensively, he's not going to dribble past many, and there's always been wastage with his creativity - but take out Messi and tell me how many players in Europe right now who does what he does - plays the way he does - produces the goals/assists/key passes/passes he does that don't also have flaws or that would be an upgrade on him?
The bloke's contributed 62 goals and assists (league only) in the last three seasons for fuck sake. I'll take those stats over your bollocks opinion any day.
excellent post,stats are a load of bollocksOoh cool stats bro!
I would've thought that someone who spends as much time dissecting football as you do would understand that Eriksen has been playing a role whereby he's pretty much the sole central link between the defence and the attack. As a result, of course he's going to see a shit load of the ball. As a result, of course he's going to be playing a shit load of passes, especially when the majority of his go 2 yards sideways these days. As a result, of course he's going to end up with a load of assists when we have players such as Lucas, Kane and Son, all of whom are capable of picking up the ball 25 yards out and putting it in the back of the net.
My point has always been that any player that plays as our creative midfielder with nobody to challenge him for his place should be smashing the assists/key passes/passes stats, shouldn't he? Yesterday for example, Llorente/Moura/Son/Alli/Rose/Trippier are all camped in or on the edge of the Brighton box. Who are Wanyama/Verts/Toby going to look for when they have the ball 25-30 yards out? Obviously it's going to be Eriksen because Brighton are playing 2 banks of 5 basically in their area. So when you give a creative midfielder that much space, which Brighton did, shouldn't he be absolutely blowing everyone else out of the water stats wise?
This is why you can stick your stats up your arse. As I said previously, almost anything can be proven with stats. For me, Brighton giving Eriksen 100 chances to do something and me seeing 1 productive pass/shot all match is enough to form my opinion. You telling me he made more passes than anyone else when he plays in a role that is going to make the most passes tells me you're just a fucking idiot that only cares about using stats to suit your agenda.
Next up on BC's stats show - Sissoko made fewer passes than any player on the pitch last night.
stats can show you things, but they are not simple, we put in XX crosses last night but we had 1 sometimes 2 attackers against 5 defenders so the crossing stat proves what ? Possession around the halfway line can be holding on to the ball, or it could be waiting to create space beyond their defenceexcellent post,stats are a load of bollocks
no their not terrible they lie many teams will defend and hope to be 0-0 or 1-0 down going into the last 10 mins then hope to get a breakaway and nick the game or at least keep 0-0, down to us to have the ideas to break them down and get 2 goals early that then causes them probelms 1-0 is not enough as there game plan is still ok no point chasing the game until last 1o minsBrighton are just terrible. At least Cardiff have a go. If Brighton are so terrified to even bother to get out of their own half how do they expect to survive. It's almost a free game when they play the top 6 so just have a go and you never know... I thought they were pathetic. Just stay in the championship if u have no interest in actually playing a game..
