Absent in a big game.

True. Also: not being played at all by the team . Are they thinking about their own 'individual performance indicators' to prove their worth? It sounds like a lot of big companies' management teams. We will have poor team performance if people don't realise trying to get individual points make us worse.

Ps: there is a lot of research on this topic btw. See Kluger and Denisi for a meta-analyses on individual performance goals and the effects on group performance.

Difference between him and Ronaldo is basically that if Ronaldo has a shit match with Real playing shite in a big game, he still takes 10 shots and as many attempts to dribble. He sends those 10 shots into the stands and slips twice on his own redundant stepover for everyone to poke fun at him. Next week, he takes those 10 shots again, scores 2 screamers, everyone celebrates him as the best. Point is, you have to take risks to be the best

He hardly ever tries to score by chips unlike other players at his level. Too many times he just tries a clean finish and ends up placing the directly at the goalkeeper. What he did today was something else and a really bizarre try really. You don't see Messi messing up such a chance like that.

My dad even said 19 year old Bellerin owned Hazard two games in a row.

Bellerin "owned" Hazard ? lol. Sure cause Hazard had so many opportunities to go 1 on 1 with him...

For the majority of the game Hazard didn't even go up against Bellerin. Hazard spent most of his time drifting centrally between the lines or dropping deep, in our own half, to pick up the ball.

The comparisons between Hazard and C.Ronaldo need to stop. Hazard has great game's but he's nowhere near Ronaldo's level. Comparing him to Messi is hilarious.

Very much agreed!

Hazard is the cream of the crop of his generation of footballers. Those that are in their early 20s. He'll be one of those players in the future that people discuss with the Player of the Year maybe with Sterling when the time of Messi & Ronaldo come to an end.

But Ronaldo & Messi are one of a kind as of now. They're in their own league & no-one is coming to their level anytime soon.

YESSS He doesn't have a chip in him!! Idky but he just doesn't. It's odd cuz he's class but he never shows composure.

ALSO, I have somewhat of a theory.

I think Hazard needs to learn how to take free kicks. Because I think this will make him a better football player. How? Well, in my opinion, the one thing that Hazard is missing is finishing. His finishing is average at best. And I think this is due to his poor, poor shooting technique. Eden often has shots the dribble into the keepers hands after a ridiculous run where he goes passed 3/4 defenders. He has shots like the one at Wembley where he gets under the ball somehow. He has shots that he puts so much power into it but it's central and easy for the keeper.

The reason I think him practicing free kicks would help him is cuz you can't take free kicks without having good shooting technique. And frankly, Eden does not. That's why in a team where we don't have a REAL free kick specialist, he doesn't even come close to the ball whenever we have a free kick. Ivanovic is there before him. (Mind you, I think Brana can really strike a ball).

1:45 in this video you see him taking a rare free kick for us. I'm sorry but the technique is poor. Little to no swerve/bend on the ball, the placement was average and there was barely any power on it.

Look at all of the best player in the world. The attacking ones. All of them are capable of taking and converting free kicks. Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Bale, James, Robben, Alexis even Ozil ffs...

Do you think it's a coincidence that 99.9% of the time Hazard takes corners they don't beat the first man. Or am I the only person to notice that? The man cannot strike a dead ball to save his life. Why? Because his technique is poor.

I really do believe if he can work on that and improve his shooting technique.. it can equate to 5-10 more goals a year. Whether it's from direct free kicks, long shots, unerring finishes.. Whatever. But for an elite footballer, Eden Hazard does NOT strike a ball well.
