I think steve was a very handsome man in his youth. As a player 9/10 a rock as if we ever had one since.

History 2 former players you would bring back to today’s squad

We break all our players because we underinvest in our squad. This has been patently clear since winter 2018.
You make a weak case there...
Sandro had a bad injury that he never bounced back from. We also still had Dembele, Capoue & Parker during AVBs time.
Wanyama too and (we had Dier ready to rotate and step in) in his case. Sadly Dier was plagued by illness and injury in through '17 > '19 too even we also had Sissoko in the mix.
Prime Sandro and Ledley.
Defence problems sorted in one fell swoop and Ndombele could be as lazy as he wants with Sandro partnering.
Then the nutters up front go wild.

I'm counting dropped performance as a proxy for long term injury.
So kane, rose, vertonghen, alderwereld, dele, eriksen....
Prime and fit Dembele and King. But with the way the squad has played this season I am not quite sure even those two absolute legends wouldn't have been enough to save us.
This would've been amazing (all players in their prime) :
Lloris
Walker - Alderweireld - King - Vertonghen
Dembele - Modric
Bale - Hoddle - Lo Celso
Kane

So, factual inaccuracies aside, got nothing to do with the post you replied to then? ....Gotcha.
Chronic muscle fatigue is an injury. What are you babbling on about?
What are YOU babbling on about?
- Rose/Davies = Cover.... Knee ligament injury = never bounced back fully.
- Jan/Toby + CBs with Dier/Foyth/Sanchez = cover.... Not regularly injured. Both over 30.
- Kane = multiple impact injuries (until latest)
- Dele = occasional hamstring strain.
- Eriksen missed fuck all through injury.
....Somehow you tried this into DMs getting injured despite having cover too.
You still rocking the forum no footy. Hard core poster Airfixx
Eriksen would be 2nd team sub at bestA front 3 of SON - KANE - BALE with ERIKSEN pulling the strings.
I don’t know anything about England managers prior to 77 but you only have to look at the treatment of Hoddle to know that Greenwood and Robson didn’t have a clue. I saw highlights of England v Paraguay in the 86 World Cup the other day. Hoddle had a hand in all 3 goals and set up a couple of other chances with the vision and execution that only Glenn possessed and in the post match interview Robson didn’t mention Hoddle once. Totally taken for granted.
I agree- totally don’t understand why some people on here rate Eriksen so highly.
