So what you're saying is that as long as conditions are just to his liking, he's a top player, otherwise highly dubious....
Very much part of my point.

Mourinho Bans Vertonghen From Sex With Eriksen's Wife
José Mourinho has reportedly banned Jan Vertonghen from having sex with teammate Christian Eriksen's wife.

Speaking of running his socks off. I do wonder if his dip in form is just from dead legs. It’s not like he’s been good for Denmark. Ozil usually had great matches for Germany despite being awful for Woolwich
Chris started almost every match for Poch and usually lead the team in distance covered.
Fans are taking his dip in form too personal. I don’t think he’s playing poorly on purpose. He has no reason to have anything but great memories here. I think the tank is on E and he has nothing left to give
His passing and his willingness to challenge has turned to shit; it's not about running (for me at least).
Personally, I've not once accused him of downing tools. Said all along (despite the kind of spin the fanboys are prepared to weave); I think it's mental frailty as much as anything else... Unless his head and contract is settled he turns to shit (we've been here before). This is why his speaking out this summer was so dumb (and not "refreshingly honest" like the apologists argued); he's just heaped further pressure on himself... I said so at the time and THIS is why I think all this talk of the fans being to blame (see a couple of pages back) is bollocks.... The Danish press are just rallying behind their boy....

If the rough patch was hair then he's been hacking his way through David Luiz's barnet for the past year or two.
But he needs more than 20 mins under Jose to show if he can come back to life. Not much more mind. A couple more games then off to whoever will have him asap. Maybe Yeovil.
Boy do you like putting a spin on things...
No one said the Danish press are blaming his dip in form on the fans, nor are his "fanboys" - But I can see why you would like that to be the case - It helps your little crusade sound much more justified - By that I mean your rants towards posters who do not agree with you, not Eriksen.
At least be honest, and cut the bloody hyperbole and purposefully twisting of words and quotes - That shouldn't be too much to ask, even of you.
The Danish press are not rallying behind him, my Danish is not perfect, but they are very critical of him, which was also mentioned a couple of pages back.

I don't speak Danish AT ALL; but any written press is not being posted here (why? you'd have to ask those referencing it in the first place)... It's merely been alluded to.
If I'm mistaken about what's been implied by his 'defenders' here then I'm happy to be set straight, but don't pretend you - and his other 'defenders' - aren't happy to lay it on thick regarding the outlook of those that have had enough of the whole saga.
Check out this shit (much of which you gave positive rep to)....
A whole load of posters responded critically (or harsher still) to these posts... Keep telling yourself it's just me being a cunt if it helps you reconcile your own bias and easily "triggered" nature.

This season is Eriksen without Sqwaka
Not many wanted to believe it, well here he is, without the late goal masking how shit he was for 89 minutes

Don't use that I have liked or agreed to a post, that is not a reason, I am not that simple. Sometimes I can like a post I do not agree with just for setting a poster straight I find annoying.
Sometimes I will agree on a post if I just find 20% of the post agreeable or the sentiment with which it is written to my liking.
Because usually I just respond to posts I find ridiculous, hyperbole or stupidly biased or that are attacking posters who do not indulge in the same hate..
I don't need to defend Eriksen, anyone with Eyes can see he is shit - I just don't agree with the reasons some give as to why, and the lenght og which he has been shit - Or the digs at some posters, and I certainly do not like being called a fanboy or not a spurs fan by someone who knows nothing of me, or my reasons to post.
There is not really anything to reference, as the digs at spurs supporters were on live tv - Hard to post a reference for that - However there is plenty of written that talks about Eriksen in a negative mannor in Danish.
My problem was simply that you implied I had quoted Danish media saying Eriksens poor form was down to the hate from fans, which is bull.
They know his poor form is on him, and him alone, whatever the reason.
I am not the one who gets easily triggered, but I do feel the need to correct misinformation.
For the future, I have no gripes with discussions involving you, just let's both keep it civil, not just for our own sake, but for the sake of other posters who, understandably, tire of the tone and banter in this part of the subforums.
And to end it, I think if we got to sit down face to face and actually talk, you would see I am not the fanboy you perceive me to be. I have aspergers, and hyperbole and misinformation really just rubs me the wrong way - Sometimes I have posted jut because I found the poster to be guilty of those things, not to defend Eriksen.
Eriksen can piss off to the south pole for all I care, he is not a Spurs man in my mind anymore. But he still deserves credit for what he gave when his head was in it - And I do not agree he was overrated when he had his up years, that is basically what it is down to for me.
When is the last time I have actually defended him? - What exactly have I personally laid on thick?

Civil is fine, by me, but don't think for a moment that my initial fanboy barb was specifically aimed at you... You're being let's say "sensitive" here....
That night saw a few people descend on the thread that were happy to sling mud at the club, Kane, the fans and whoever else to defend Eriksen.... Posters such as those I just quoted to you, I saw to be "ridiculous, hyperbole or stupidly biased or that are attacking poster" (words borrowed from yourself); posts that were so much so that I was left with little doubt that they were born of what I'd deem fanboys. Yeh, I was happy enough to assume you were on board with their comments based on your repping, but that's not what you're accusing me of here.
My subsequently replying to you (who came back swinging at me - fine; I'm a big boy) and directly calling you a fanboy was of course, me winding you up and had nothing to do with my deeper viewpoint... I would hope that much was clear.

That's all good.
And we can leave it at that, and agree that we both want what is best for the club in the long run.
[insert chirruping birds and other assorted springtime ambience]
Would it be nice if Jose could turn his form around and he starts playing great football? Sure it would, but not sure I even want to give him the chance. Everything he has shown this year to me says he wants nothing to do with Spurs. He’s checked out, he did it to himself, could have handled the whole situation much more professionally IMO. Hard to win all that back. I’d much rather move forward with guys like Dele and Ndombele who will have a future at the club. But for all I know he starts Tuesday.
All the better reason to make an example of him. I have a decent concern he may get into it with Lo Celso or Ndombele, even if that’s completely irrational.
Kane has scored or assisted 26 goals in his last 24 games in all competitions.....and that’s him playing shit by the way!!
It's not a question of having his form turned around. He simply switched off when things didn't go his way transfer wise and is biding his time until the season finishes. If he can do that once then he can do it again. Not worth the risk and I'm sure Jose has him sussed.
Short corner?
No
He can’t be bothered
He’s a professional sportsman
He should be giving his all for the club which pay his salary
For the fans who contribute to that salary
For his teammates who have helped make him what he is
And for his own personal pride
If not fuck off and shut the door after you’ve left
