He had 4 shots vs West Ham which is more than any Chelsea player. Can he/should he shoot more, yes, but it's almost becoming a stick to continually beat him with. I don't think Mourinho has a problem with him as he currently is and that's all that matters.

There were obvious moments in yesterday's match where pulling the trigger was probably the best option. It's a clear judgement to pass.

I'm not saying he should become Schurrle #2.

Played very well. He was exempted from a lot of defensive duties and he had the energy to go all out.

But

I'm sure I'm not the only one who was annoyed he didnt shoot there. Take the responsibility, that's a one on one.

Typical biased Chelsea fans. Can't you see it is Alexis Sanchez who is the third best player in the world?

:Goober:

Man crush on this guy. The way he plays. I would never trade him for Messi, no matter what the Argentinian can bring. NEVER.

Watching it again only confirms my initial feeling. That was a goal.

Great performance. The run for the chance where Ramires hit the post was sensational, as was most of his play to be honest.

The probability of Willian scoring from that position in front of an open net was (in theory at least) too high for Hazard not to pass. It was the right decision IMO.

uhhh WHAT?! He was 1v1 with Adrian and by the time Willian has the ball at his feet, he has to contend with 2 defenders and Adrian. People slate Costa for fucking up his chance when he got played through, but for Eden it's ok?

Willian had the better angle and the GK was out of position, which makes it an easier chance than Hazard's. Costa completely screwed his chance up though so the two situations aren't really comparable.

Watching it again, it really wasn't anywhere near as much of an 'open goal' for Willian as everybody was claiming, with much of the goal being covered by the keeper and the two defenders. At the time, I thought that passing to Willian might well have been the correct option, but each time I watch the replay it seems increasingly obvious that this wasn't the case; Hazard has the PERFECT opportunity to finish immediately after taking his first touch.

Having said that, this missed opportunity came in the 94th minute (not the 75th/80th etc.) and had absolutely minimal bearing upon how the match played out.

Think you need to watch it at a different angle. The goalkeeper and collins (don't know if got his name right ?) weren't in a position to cover the goal. There was 1 defender on the line and he shot it straight at him.

Hazard should have finished after he takes his first touch. Willian should have scored.

Watch at minute 8. It's a different angle behind the goal and you can see that the goalkeeper and collins aren't able to cover the goal.

Bit annoyed with Hazard. Really wish he'd work on his shooting more and be more selfish and take the shot more often.

Lost count of the amount of times he gets himself into a good position and doesn't take the shot. When he finally does take the shot he usually hits it against the defender.

I think he's been amazing this season performance wise but his numbers read 14 goals & 8 assists in all competitions. While those are good numbers they could have been so much higher and they should be higher for a player of his quality.

This last game against West Ham he could have had 3 goals ( header goal, chance where he cuts inside 7 metres away from goal and hits 1 of the defenders(7min 20 in the video), 1 on 1 at the end) and 3 assists (Ramires hit the post, Ramires header, Costa 1 on 1) yet he 's left with 1 goal from that game.

It' s been a recurring thing this season, great performances but no goal or assist or just 1 goal or 1 assist while he could have had more.

This season he could have easily broken past the 20 goals and 10 assists mark already.

Really feel this should be the next step in his development, becoming more ruthless, more clinical.

One of the reasons I feel hazard isn't clinical is because he just doesn't like curling his shots.

When he cuts in from the left, defenders are in front of him and the easiest way to score is to curve the ball around them like robben, coutinho. But he prefers to dribble again before shooting straight instead of curling the ball round the defenders (he did this against westham I was so pissed off :fainthv9: )

Well i do think he tries to curl it at times but his curling shot seems to lack power and he doesn't put enough curl on the ball to really get it past the defender and beat the goalkeeper. Like i said before i think he should work on his shot more.

Could make a big difference goal wise.
