I haven't been keeping up with this. Is he hurt?

Yes, his ankle was swollen. He was able to continue the game.

After the game he said it hurt but that he doesn't think he'll miss the game on saturday.

Took a knock, and has a swollen ankle. Definitely a concern, but we shouldn't be lighting our torches and heading to Wilmots' place just yet.

Just tough luck I guess that Oscar isn't having the best of form right now...

Well lets hope he steps it up if Hazard is unfit for Tottenham.

Thank fuck for that!! I hope that is right.

Fucking stupid International friendlies!! There is no need for them!

Actually it was Tiote, but obviously it's still trendy to blame Kalou even though he's been gone for two years

Ah O.K., I was just going on what people said here...I'm still going to ignore your post though, it feels better/normal this way!

[The Mak 4,459]

Well thank fuck for that! He should be fit according to SS!

Has a sense of nostalgia about it, doesn't it?

If his ankle is still swollen on Saturday,Should we risk him against spurs or give him a complete rest?

We can't really know how much of a risk it is.. I'll trust Mou on this one.

All I know is that we really need him to be fit for our next 10 league matches.

Apparently Wilshere also thought his injury was not serious however he is believed to be out for 6 weeks now.

He is alright to train,That's a good sign also nice to see MVG in there as well.

Don't think I have. You said not more than one player have a free role in the squad and the idea is for everyone to work and release Hazard into space. You're saying as if the likes of Oscar, Willian etc, despite having their own responsibilities within the team, have never got into the final third. They have been given a job by Mourinho by defensively, as with others, but they are also allowed to get forward and when they do, their end product is average. Hazard is similar too with this but hasn't stopped him in making an impact, a difference in the final third for us. Oscar, Willian etc aren't doing it consistently in their own way.

What was Eden like last year? What was Mata like? With more responsibility you get drop off. Hazard, when he's at his best doesn't have to do the dirty work. Furthermore, what you were initially asking for is for another player to take the pressure off of him, I agree, but that player SHOULD be our striker.

Training with the group, always a good sign

I think he's fine

[BloodIsBlue 291]

Lol @ Tioté. Fucker has been learning from Pardew.

That was supposed to be my joke... How much did the spurs pay Toite?

[Tchekitchek 37]

Ivorian players were very aggressive yesterday.

Hazard has more responsibility now than before but that still hasn't stopped him from having impact and making difference in games. The likes of Oscar, Willian etc are not having too dissimilar role either in the team and they still have not produced it, at least consistently. I agree that our strikers should be contributing (but they are crap anyway) but our system is not confined to everything on the ST only. The AMs still gotta produce it. The burden/responsibility is shared amongst the 4.

Yeah, but Wilshire is made of glass
