He clearly has a motivational problem. He started the game so sharp but as soon we concede you could see on his face he lost hope. Poch needs to work with him on this

Can't really argue with that, he is not performing at the level his talent says he should be.For someone who has been at the club for 4 years, someone with so much potential, someone with so much experience being "not that bad" isn't good enough. It isn't good enough for a team aiming for the top 4 and it's nowhere near good enough for anyone thinking of challenging for the title.
2 goals and 3 assists from 12 games (1352 minutes). Janssen has 3 goals and 3 assists in 18 games (961 minutes). Statically, Janssen is more of a goal threat and provides more assists.
This is Janssen massively off form. Janssen who is 2 years younger. Janssen with only 1 years experience. Janssen who has only just moved to England. Janssen who has had less minutes.
I think this puts it into context just how bad he's doing. The only attacking player below him are GK and Sissoko. I don't think he's ever been this bad for us, and that's not what you want to see. You want to see players progress, develop and for all Eriksens potential he hasn't - he's stagnated.
Perhaps this isn't a dip in form but the new norm for him. Hopefully not, but it wouldn't be the first time.
Ask yourself this.... Would City,Arse,Chelsea,Utd or liverpool have him as a starter ?, of course they wouldn't.
Yet we see people on here championing him, "look at his stats" etc.
Really hope the summer sees the end of him, he's a waste of a shirt as far as i'm concerned
That's 3 years.. Come on.For someone who has been at the club for 4 years
Janssen has scored 3 goals - from penalties only. And he's got 2 assists.. You're not stupid, are you?Janssen has 3 goals and 3 assists in 18 games (961 minutes).
I don't even.. WHAT?Janssen with only 1 years experience.

Criticism of Eriksen is well deserved, but you are a fucking imbecile.

Hasn't updated from the assist he got yesterday. So 3 assists.
Janssen has only been in the top flight for 1 year.
I'd have Ramsey or Henderson over Eriksen in a heartbeat, Eriksen is a joke of a player, if he doesn't fancy it, we play with ten men.............And Sagna, Ramsey, Moses, Young and Henderson wouldn't start for us.
Silly logic.
They're different types of players, aren't they? Henderson isn't a bad player, but even on his best day he can't create the way that Eriksen can.I'd have Ramsey or Henderson over Eriksen in a heartbeat, Eriksen is a joke of a player, if he doesn't fancy it, we play with ten men.............
He only signed an extension for 2020. I think he'll be gone next summer, sadly. The extension is just so we can sell him at a higher feeHe's a great player, but Dembele's renaissance has arguably made him less influential as a playmaker. Dembele connects the play as much now.
I think Erikssen plays best when he is calling the shots. He looks unhappy at the moment and I wonder whether he regrets signing a new contract rather than going to Italy and having a side built around him.
He is genuine quality (recognised by Danes as their best player since Michael Laudrup) but like some players you only see how good they are when they are at the centre of things.
Would love to know when and how his deadball skills suddenly became Sunday league standard. Something is seriously amiss with him at present.
Who could be realistically brought in that's better than Eriksen, though? He might not get into the starting elevens of those other teams, but that's because they all have some of the best #10s in the world (De Bruyne, Mata, Ozil, Coutinho, Hazard).If we're serious about being a regular top 4 side, Eriksen is a great example of the kind of player we should be turfing out.
He wouldn't get near City,Utd,Arse,Chel,Pool starting elevens, and he should be nowhere near ours.
He has one good game in five, if we're lucky.
Hopefully gone in the summer.
And there lies the problem, we should be one of those teams, we filled wembly easily.Who could be realistically brought in that's better than Eriksen, though?

Las season, he was quality, like many of our players this season, his form is poor, lets waite and see.If we're serious about being a regular top 4 side, Eriksen is a great example of the kind of player we should be turfing out.
