Daizen Maeda

100% tried to do Hatate too.

 

Apparently left in crutches last night. Hopefully just precautionary

 

Knee injury. Reckon it'll be months he's out. Typical man he's key to the way we play the huns.

 

Fingers crossed it’s just a few weeks mate


But you might be right

 

Gutted if it is man, fingers crossed. Silver lining Haksa should get a bit more game time now.

 

Gutted for him if he's set to be out for a while. No need to panic though, this is why we have a strong squad. Means we might see Haksabanovic get a proper shot.

 

Absolutely true Hatate was barely on the field and he was the victim of 2 nasty "challenges". It was plain to see and we all now that will be the order of the day from the first whistle come Saturday.

 

That sure does not look good. We will have to wait and see how serious it is but not looking good from that picture. Real blow if he is out long term as he has been in superb form and was tearing the diets up last night before he went off.

There are some players that bring something unique that contradicts commonly held views on football and how it should be played. Maeda is one of those. He's immense.

He reminds me of Agathe and John Collins, combined, in how he plays the game. Fast, fully committed and everywhere. Even when you don't expect him to be there.

Like Agathe, could always improve his technique, but no one else even attempts what he does at that speed.

 

Photo doesn't look good. But guess this is why Ange has made sure we have plenty of cover.

Fingers crossed he's back soon.

 

Judging by his reaction after he scored, he knew it was a bad one.

 

He didn't seem to be in massive pain though?

McGregor's leg was in some brace for a few weeks this season and he recovered fine.

 

You surely cannot be comparing John Collins ability with Maeda!!!!???? Time to get your carer to tuck you in.

 

I was talking about application. One of the things I love about a player is how they apply the skills they have.

Collins always got stuck in, both in at the defensive and attacking sides of the game, same as Maeda.

Do I get to stay up a bit longer now?

 

Yet rat faced Neilson said that we should have had a man sent off. He even got Halliday to ask the ref to have a look at the Bernabei tackle which was strange and I don't know if it is actually allowed

 

Any updates on his injury yet? Haven't seen Ange's press conference yet.

 

He said: “The only issue from the other day is Daizen, who it’s fair to say has improved.

“He didn’t train today, he is still working with the physios but he has improved and I will see how he is tomorrow. It’s fair to say he is 50-50 for it.

 

That's good news, wouldn't risk him tomorrow in any case but hopefully back in the squad for Hibs.

 

Good news
