Eden Hazard

He's a very consistent player, unlike Schurrle.

Schurrle is consistently bad. Hazard isnt consistent. Its still the start of the season and Im sure he will get there.

No, he isnt at all. If he would be a "very consistent" player, he would be in the league of Messi+ CR, because he has the potential to do so. But because he isn't consistent at all, he is far away from the aforementioned players. Today he was absolutely fantastic. Taking on playeres, destroying them, great vision, great passing, worked defensively etc etc. perfect display.

It's only a matter of time I guess. Jose didn't buy him to be a squad player.

Honestly i would not put it past Mourinho, he did buy Coentrao for a record transfer for a left back, only to have him as a backup to Marcelo.

The Boss.

Eden had on his dancing shoes today. The way he just skips past players, the way he slows down only to turn it up in a instance with opposition players eating his dust. It's just too bad Chelsea did so little to create chances because the way he was playing, he could've destroyed them. It's just every time he was looking for a quick 1-2 or to play someone through on goal or something, no one was there. So he ended up keeping it safe most of the time.

But anyway, great performance. Showed great technique and awareness today.

I'm not going to get into this tedious lame argument. It's become boring because people don't know the meaning of consistent. Any player who isn't on the level of Messi and Ronaldo isn't consistent. Fuck that.

Brilliant performance by Eden. He needed it after a few average performances and the criticism he got. Looked determined and hungry. Pity he didn't score a second goal.

[Styles 9,790]

Oh my, such an amazing player; world-class is an absolute understatement.

[Barbara 15,149]

It's underwhelming to watch Azpilicueta (bless his heart) being the FB on his side of the pitch. Luís would be much better. But all good things come in time. For now we have the Champions League...

He's the reason we won the match today. I'm absolutely convinced Arsenal wouldn't be able to keep pressing us like that for much longer before his goal, but still he took matter into his hands and made it happen. He was lively throughout the whole match and it was a great performance by him.

I don't have a lot of problems (or any problem) with our attack as some have here. Arsenal were very good pressing and marking, then things were a little bit in the air after the first goal and in the second we defended properly, I don't think we attacked badly. We were taking our sweet time when we couldn't quickly link a counter and we had a couple of good counters, for example the Hazard x Costa exchange - first when Hazard almost led their defender to score an own goal, receiving a past from Costa, and then Hazard finishing a bit too high receiving from Costa as well. We had five shots, three on goal and we scored twice. That's incredible numbers and people are spoiled imo. I'd rather have those numbers than ten shots, none on goal. We could have attacked more often, we didn't need though. We could have done better with a few counters, but it was an amazing match by us. I seriously can't find anything to complain, but I'm always positive, so maybe there's that.

I wonder when people are gonna stop and realize that the reason Azpi doesn't overlap is because Jose WANTS coverage for Hazard on that flank. Its by design and not because Azpi is poor. When Hazard attracts two defenders it leaves space for others to exploit, we just have to start moving the ball quicker is all.

Hazard was in the mood today, explosive and very influential! Whenever he was in the middle of the pitch he looked a threat and that's exactly what we need from him.

Amazing.

Brilliant run by Costa to distract Mertesacker and open up space. Torres would have probably got in his way

[OneMoSalah 8,611]

What a run for the penalty, was Messi like, he just eliminated 3 players as if they weren't there and in general he was a threat through out the whole game.

“If I want to be one of the best, I need to be in one of the best teams, you know? I cannot be the best with just me; I need help and I need a good team. And that is what I have here [at Chelsea].”

Unbelievable run, just unreal.

Said before you cannot mark pace, he's not only quick but he is direct…….

7 - Eden Hazard has scored all seven of his PL penalties. Of players with 100% records, only Dimitar Berbatov (9/9) has more. Specialist.

As a side note, does anybody know who our 2nd in line is to take penalty kicks. I suppose one of either Costa or Fabregas?

Anyone have a gif/vine for that outrageous 80 yard Hazard pass for Schurrle?
