Eden Hazard

[Special Juan 27,101]

His ball through to Oscar where he dived was sublime.

Been reading abit on other Chelsea forums and apart from praising him some of the members there suggest to build the team arround him.

Some say that Mourinho is already doing that.

What are your toughts about that?

Should a top team like Chelsea depend so much on one player? I have my doubts to be fair

Hazard plays on the left, I think it would be better if they build a team around a central player.

They should give the ball more often to Hazard instead of going for own succes if you ask me, everyone would benefit from it.

Before you would consider doing something like this, you have to be sure he can perform consitently at a very high level, and for me that is still the biggest question mark around him i believe.

Also when you compare our team to others that have done sth similar (Suarez at Liverpool - Bale at Spurs), he isn't the only standout player we have. There's also Oscar and maybe Willian, so to me it would make less sense to do it.

Shame Oscar didn't put that away because that was a lovely move.

He is Mourinho's main man and the portuguese has said (or implied it) many times. The thing is like @borriske wisely pointed out is that he isn't consistent enough to fulfill that role completely. But Mourinho doesn't mind it. He knows he's only 23 (or will be in three days ) and he's learning and I guess he's never been managed and coached like he is now. He was used to play what Mourinho called last week street football. So I'd assume he was given freedom to just use his talent to dribble and run by opponents and capitalize on that, but top level football is much more than that, so he's adapting. Mourinho is doing everything he can now for that to become a reality as soon as possible.

Now to answer your question about if it should be done or not... It worked wonderfully well with Sneijder (centered) at Inter and even better with Cris at RM (in the wing). Mourinho doesn't make his teams dependable on his biggest start as Barcelona is dependable on Messi. It's a different kind of stardom. It has more to do with freedom than dependance. RM didn't look as bad without Cris as Barça without Messi and there's a reason for that.

Mourinho chose a system that benefited Cris' style, but mainly all players we had (and players he lately added to the squad) enjoyed the system too. Guardiola built a system for Messi and around Messi. It's no secret there's no player like Messi (not only his quality, but even his style is hard to find), so the moment you build a system for that player and he's injured, you're screwed. Mourinho will do the same (as he did with Cris) with Eden imo. Our system is clear as light imo, and it fits Eden, but also fits a numerous of other players in our squad and while none of them have the same quality as Eden, we'll cope because Schürrle, Willian, Oscar, while having completely different characteristics can fit the system. We'd miss Eden's quality just like any team in the world would miss if their best player is injured or being rested, but I don't see Chelsea becoming dependable on him, but I can see a system being built where he's the most important guy, the player with more freedom and who'll be more benefited by the style.

I can't wait until he's consistent enough (it's no complaint, the kid IS a kid still). We'll be orgasmic

Really wish he'd win the POTY award!

Would be nice to get him a quality striker. At times he suffers from a lack of top end talent around him. This was evident in the first half v. Soton as he was quite good but he wasn't getting much help. When Oscar and William came on he was getting some help and it was clear that they created openings for him.

As good as Hazard is in form he can't always be asked to beat 2-4 men.

At this point it may even be worth it to play him in a false 9 position allowing for Oscar William and Mata to play with him.

Kinda fun to watch Eden in his last season at Lille. Ligue 1 defenders must have been happy to get rid of the low-gravity runs which he had already mastered back then.

Eden was already a machine back then.

Really every danger lille created came from him.

Son: Dad, PSG is offering 35 million for Hazard.

A: The book of fantasy is on the second floor, my son.

where's that South Park gif when we need it?

ORGASMIC stuff!

I think the best is yet to come when it comes to him. He was adapting to the physicality and the league itself last season (and while I think he's adapted mostly, he hasn't completely, exactly because he's a 'light' player or whatever should I call it). Now he's adapting to maturing his game, something I don't think any of his previous managers were that worried about. They capitalized his talent and gave him freedom to do his thing. Mourinho is turning him into a more completed player, that once reaches his full potential will be rewarded with even more freedom. I don't think he'll miss or lose any of that, it will come back when he's fully adapted, comfortable and confident playing this league, this team, under this manager.

Every time I stop to think about when this time is finally here I find myself with a broad smile on my face. I swear I do.

I always said his first year he would show some great things, his second year he would be 1 of the most important players from the team and his 3th year he would be a serious contender for best player of the world.

I think we are on schedule :-)
