I agree with your overall sentiment, but he's been pretty good for City tbh. A young dude like that coming directly from Brazil and making his mark from the get-go is impressive.

Hey, at least he's gone from NEVER PERFORMS AGAINST BIG TEAMS, AND THAT'S A FACT!1! to him needing to perform constantly and not just every now and then... gotta give him that.

He hasn't got a clue what he's talking about. Hell, not long ago in the playoffs for the WC when we needed to a scoring draw or a win after having only managed a draw at home against Ireland, he scored a fucking hattrick in Dublin. Eriksen has a boatload of great performances - both in clutch...

Bullshit :lol: Anyway, Eriksen had a bad tournament all in all. Not that his performances here are necessarily indicative of his true level, but it should at least be an eye opener to those who believes he's the savior and solution to our midfield problems.

According to the official FIFA data he had a grand total of 12 forward passes of the 132.

Surprisingly even first half with Croatia obviously most on the ball. I'm just relieved we didn't go all out defense again. I think the quality of Modric will end up being the difference in the second half, unless our naff attack pulls of a miracle.

Considering just how much play ran through him, 2 chances created is a huge fucking problem.

Feeling the exact same way. I won't pretend to have watched him that much, but aside from some golden moments here and there, he looks massively overrated if the 100m+ rumors asking fee are true. Great Ball control and flair for a player his size, but seems to lose the ball every other action...

I honestly don't know what to think about this guy. I haven't seen him near enough to judge him fully, but he hasn't exactly set the world alight whenever I saw him. He was also a regular part of a defense that shipped a shitload of goals last season. Then again, I've also seen people rating him...

Expectations taken into account he was up there with Rudiger.

Which doesn't say a whole lot to be honest. He was really good for the majority of the season but suffered from a heavy dip in form 3/4 or so into the season which saw him benched for the remainder. Our NT coach recently said that he likes him better as a DM, and I'm inclined to agree.

Nah, not really. Lots of midrange clubs could easily be interested in him, only depending on the fee we're asking.

Pretty bad WC all in all for Kroos.

We've been decidedly shit (but hey, at least we qualified for the WC in the first place ;)), but you could say the same about half of the teams attending.

Nice dive from Griezmann. Then again, can't blame him trying to milk the VAR fuckery.

None of them have been good. There's absolutely zero cohesion in the French attack.

Why do you deflect the Pogba question like that? Especially considering I don't think that I have ever entered the big 433/442 discussion.

Out of curiosity, BBZ, do you still believe that Pogba would be the saviour and solution to our midfield voes?

Clear as day red. Looks at the player and elbows him in the face rattling his jaw. Not even debatable.

Goes to show again that VAR is pointless as long as the refs are shit. The greasemonger should've been sent off all day every day for that elbow.
