He had 1 goal and 1 assist in like 15 NLDs and the assist was in a game we lost 4-1. People say Kane doesn’t show up in big games and yet he’s the all-time NLD goal scorer.
I did the work on Eriksen in big games a couple years ago, I’ll have to try to find the post. He has an amazing record against Chelsea and then it falls off precipitously.
This is the unpopular opinion thread, so I know most won’t agree but he was a luxury player. I’ll never forgive him for the Champions League final, looked totally disinterested all game and then pushing for a move three days later. Massively skilled but lacked the mentality, modern game has passed players like him and Ozil by. Conte basically ostracized him at Inter until they had injuries and Eriksen had to play.
Hope he stays at Brentford, always liked them and he’ll thrive in a place where the occasional moment of brilliance will make him a cult hero. Both him and Bale are too uninterested and one-dimensional nowadays to play for a top manager who wants high-level effort and graft like Conte. Only thing either would add to us now is ability to take a free kick.
