No one is saying he’s losing the games on purpose. But not giving your all is not giving your all, no matter what reason.

Why haven’t you compared Pogba and Eriksen?
You have called them both the most productive CM in European football.
Which one of the two is it?
No 3000 word essay needed, just a name.
It's his passing that has underwhelmed me.
Come on, Neville's been having digs at Pogba for almost his entire time there. When Mourinho was sacked he tweeted Pogba should be next. When he was playing great when Solskjar first came in he started whining about his agent. Only this weekend he was ranting about him but refusing to name him.
Ever since Neville made a twat of himself and lost the dressing room at Valencia, he's been refusing to blame managers for anything and seems to think the players at ManU and particularly their record signing Pogba are to blame entirely for his beloved alma's slapstick demise, especially as he'd already had the temerity to leave them in the first place.
What has Pogba actually done wrong that you know of?
Imagine a scenario where you are 28 and pinning your future on a dream move to Real Madrid or Barca.
You have half a season to see out.
That 50-50 could either break Spurs away on a counter attack. Or it could break your ankle.
Do you think it’s wildly unlikely that a player might not put 100% into winning that ball?
You must be wearing blinkers. Several seasons ago I felt Eriksen had all the ability but lacked the intensity to break up play and get stuck in, under Poch he made this final step and has been exceptional since. This season, for whatever reason he has taken a step back, like he is scared to get stuck in. If you watch, he runs back to cover (with less urgency than before) and rarely challenges. If you can't see this then you are blind.
I don't know the reason but I doubt it's contract talk. It's either due to an injury or fear of getting injured. I personally feel he has decided to not sign a new contract, has made the club aware of this in private out of respect and is hoping for a move at the end of the season with us bagging a large transfer fee.
If he has been honest with the club, and given 100% (until now), is a great example on the training pitch and dressing room whilst not airing his laundry in public why would Poch or anyone else be against him? It's a professional game and players move on.
Are we speaking hypothetically? Mata, Ozil, Mkhitaryan.
Realistically, Holtby. When he played at the U21 Championship, he looked like exactly the player we need. It's time for him to step up.
I know it was 2013....Why does everyone want Eriksen so badly? He's not the player everyone thinks he is. He has been shit for Denmark for awhile now and has been outshone by Siem De Jong and Viktor Fischer at Ajax. He's definitely not progressing as everyone thought he would've. If we have the money than Willian would be a much better buy.
Garry Neville used to be a decent pundit
Over the last year or do (since he lost the Valencia manager job) he has changed to becoming very 'opinionated' rather than analytical - in particular when discussing Manu and it's players but generally too.
If I were a betting man I would guess he sees himself as the new technical director at Manu and that colours his views. In short he is putting himself up for the job.
Just my opinion of course and maybe wrong
Are you a new fan? Are you blind? Because Eriksen has never in his career been a player who gets stuck in and tackles. He has actually got a lot better than when he first arrived. But saying that he suddenly have become less of a tackler this season is a lie. Lolmao did you think he was a destroyer or something before this season?
Also when the fuck did effort become the same as getting stuck in. Eriksen is running just as much as he always have and gives exactly the same effort. It’s absolute bullshit to think that he isn’t giving 100%
The only thing he has struggled with more this season than last is his passing, but that doesn’t affect that he still gives 100% for the club. Unless you want to imply that he somehow misplaces more passes this season on purpose.
But all that comspiracy shite makes no sense, because he only gets a transfer to a bigger club if he plays good enough that the bigger club like Real wants him.
But that scenario is not real life, it’s something that would only happen in your head. Have you actually ever played any sport in your life?
