Eriksen looked like he was focused for a football match. MGW probably says that before every game. Nothing story.

Meh, it's so easy to over evaluate these sort of things. This sort of team talk is so common

I read this as Eriksen was uninterested in art. These Nordic folk are so uncultured.

Gibbs-White probably said the same thing in their huddle when we turned up and spanked them 3-0 without getting out of second gear.

Eriksen looks like a professional football player waiting for a football match to start.

The lip readers made a mistake. What he actually said was: "Calm down, lads! Van De Beek is not playing, so no one will be able to unlock Sancho!"

The captain of every lower team will be saying that when City/Liverpool/Arse roll into town too, and is Eriksen meant to be doing a pre-match Haka or something to show he's up for it?

We have problem after problem at our club but there is nothing to that video.

It's just standard pre-match trash talk. Nothing to see here.

I'd normally dismiss it but a few did play like they didn't want to be there. Eriksen being one of them.

Pretty sure he said "look at their faces, they've been on the beer", which would help explain the performance.

If we’d won that shot would be evidence of a ‘calm and collected danish masterclass’. I bet every underdog huddle is the same.

What a load of utter nonsense. There’s enough facts to be depressed about, without buying into this sort of crap.

I used to say this every week to my mates before we played a bunch of overweight Dads at 5 a side on a Thursday night.

We'd often get hammered. I was 25.

Thanks goodness he didn't say "their heart's not in it" before the camera cut.

This just says it all doesn't it.

Click bait. If United were hyping themselves up for a match vs Forest he’d turn that into a negative. Just a look of a man waiting for the match to start. Can’t read anything into it.
