What i think of this story ?

SI = Sports Interactive. They develop the game football manager. They can do as much extensive research as they want. The simple fact is that a club isn't going to give that information to gaming developers. It's like you said educated guesses. Keyword : guesses. They don't know. I'm really finding it odd that you acknowledge the fact that they're guessing but then you say you are "sure this is true"

Really ? I mean really ? Think about this for a second. Clubs aren't willing to make their wages public but when a football game asks them they just give it to them and allow them to make it public to the world ? That simply doesn't make any sense.

Well that's difficult to tell because there's not much info regarding how bad his injury is atm. He had trouble with his Achilles (injury that he's had for 3 weeks) and didn't train untill wednesday. After the training on wednesday he said that he still felt something but that it's was feeling better. Thursday he trained and halfway through he had to stop(due to the injury ofcourse). He was deemed unfit to play against Scotland. So with the fact that he was able to finish the training on wednesday it all depends on how badly the injury was aggrevated by the thursday training.

I see nothing wrong with his avatar ?

Confirmed, he's not playing.

No no no no no no NOOOO !!! It's £110.000.(Source Belgian and French media)

No chance on that mate. It's an important game for Belgium but like i said before it's just 1 game in this international break. So he should be fairlty rested.

Well i'm guessing it's nothing major seeing as how he'll be fit for Schotland which is in 3 days. Hazard probably wanted to play against Bayern. I mean measuring yourself against 1 of the best teams. Not many footballers are going to say no to that. Don't worry though he's fortunate that we're only playing 1 game in this international break. So he'll have plenty of rest. Just hope that Mourinho does start rotating soon.

Apparently he's had trouble with his achilles for 3 weeks now.(He got a kick on it) It was almost healed but the Bayern game aggrevated it again. It got inflamed again. He's having trouble walking on it but he should be fine for the schotland game. I've gotta say while i'm happy that Mourinho plays him a lot. If Mourinho keeps using him like this then he isn't going to last long.

Cech Ivanovic Cahill Terry Cole Lampard Ramires/Van Ginkel KDB Oscar Hazard Lukaku Luiz is injured, Azpi is unfit (international friendly), Mata is unfit (injury + participated only half of preseason, Moses is unfit (international friendly). Think we'll go with Lampard + a defensive player because Hull will be playing very defensive and it won't hurt having another player going into the box.

I understand what you mean but he cleary used Hazard as an example of someone that just runs past players rather then dribble them.

Sorry but i don't make a distinction between running past someone and "dribbling". To me dribbling is getting past players with the ball at your feet. How a player does it is completely up to him. If a player wants to make 20 stepovers to wrongfoot a defender then so be it. But i see nothing wrong with a player simply dropping his shoulder to wrongfoot a defender and then simply running past him.

How about we just put a wig on Torres and send him ? Profit even more !

This was such an important victory. So important mentally. Just keeping that momentum. Knowing that when we go 1 goal down we can come back and win it. Now let's just hope we can get through these national team fixtures without injuries.

Da fuck did i just read ?

Emphasis on a couple of years. Messi and Ronaldo didn't start off with 50 goals a season. 9 goals and 16 assists in his first PL season is a good return and he's proven himself as a quality player. Now he just needs to become more efficient and add more goals to his game.

I was reacting to your second sentence. "Eden's hype is more potential than quality." 9 goals 16 assists = quality

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVfpluXPH7k Found this video. Reaction of Mourinho after Real Madrid game. Talks about the Roma game. Said that he'll rest the boys that played 90 minutes vs Real. Mentions Hazard, Cole and Cahill. Also said he'd play Mikel, Bertrand and Azpi. I'm guessing that the players he wants to rest are probably still going to play against Roma but just half an hour or so.

Well imo Hazard does 2 things wrong in his one on one: 1) He makes the wrong decision. He goes for the power shot while Casillas was about 2 metres away. He should have tried to either chip it to the far corner or run past Casillas to the right (Hazard's right) and slot it in. 2) He's too transparent when he finishes. He doesn't do anything to wrongfoot the goalkeeper. No worries though Hazard already acknowledged in multiple interviews (this preseason) that his main working point is his finishing. So i'm pretty sure Hazard already told Mourinho about it and if he didn't Mourinho knwos now and they'll definitely work on it.

So last season those 9 goals and 16 assists were imaginary then ?

Composure isn't that easily transferable. You can ask for some pointers but in the end it takes time and experience. The more Hazard will get into these 1 on 1 situations the better he'll get at them. How quickly he improves is completely up to him though.

I don't know about you guys but i'm more pissed off about the reactions of some of you then i am about the result. We're a young team with a lot of players that are still far from their prime. Real is a team with a lot of players in their prime. This was always going to be a very tough game. There will be times this season where we're going to get our asses kicked. If you can't deal with that then i suggest you skip this year. I'm happy about this game. The players now know what level they're at and what level they need to be to compete for trophies.

Yes. More ads my friend more ads.
