Eden Hazard

[Zoro 151]

What does Technical ability or talent have to do with sloppy passing and poor decision making. They are mutually exclusive and there are plenty of highly talented players also guilty of the criticism I levied against him . . .see Neymar, Arda Turan, Di maria, pastore and so on.

There's a reason he was poor/average for majority of last season and his inclusion in the player of the year shortlist was met with criticism and mockery by neutral/unbiased fans and pundit. only if some people would remove their blue tinted glasses for a minute and be objective for once.

I think my dog understands football more than you do

You illustrate why I am getting fed up with the forum. Idiot cunt. All this fuckery in presaeason, all the posing.

Just ban me allright. The amount of nonsense ..... Take a hike with some of the plastic fans on here without a clue. Fuck that shit.

Nonsense, plain nonsense. I guess I may as well start using the ignore function.

Dear oh dear what have I done and there I was thinking the purpose of a forum is to have intelligent and objective debates.

Alright then, Hazard is absolutely perfect and was magnificent throughout last season. let's see if that stops the barrage of abuse from the immature teenagers on this forum.

There's intelligent and objective debates, then there's saying that Hazard had a poor to average season.

Wonder if you actually watched us last year.

He wasn't poor for the majority of last season, that's just a ridiculous thing to say.

First off it was his first season coming from France, he started very well, then had a rough patch which seemed to coincide with the rest of the team. Then came back strong after his suspension, to end the season in brilliant fashion.

He's a very good player already, the only thing poor about him is that finishing. Then again, Mata missed a lot in his first season for us, and Ramires used to miss sitters, now he chips freaking Iker Casillas.

For your sake I hope you're just trolling and weren't being serious. Your debate was couldn't have been further from intelligent and objective.

You do realize there is a middle ground between being absolutely flawless and being mediocre with massive flaws. And using the so called unbiased pundits and other teams' fans as proof that your opinion is the correct one is ridiculous. The Manchester cunts are all still bitter he chose Chelsea ahead of them and the moment he signed a contract with the club he went from an amazing talent and a potential future Ballon d'Or winner to overrated and many of the neutral fans started to hate him after the infamous ball boy incident so their opinions matter fuck all too.

Most of us here witnessed with our own eyes every single one of his performances for Chelsea last season and while he may not have been perfect, I see absolutely no reason not to think he has a truly spectacular future and that we can expect good things from him as early as this season once Jose gets him firing. He has explosive pace, great dribbling skills and is probably the best in our whole team at holding the ball. His footballing brain is exceptional and once he's fully settled in at the club and matured a bit I don't see why he couldn't be one of the best in the world. His finishing could be better and he should maybe try shooting more instead of trying to make things harder than they really are but he has plenty of time to improve those attributes and I have faith in Mourinho to get the best out of him.

So yeah, fuck off troll.

He doesn't try too many fancy stuff. so its ok.

Needs to work on his finishing, yea.

Why would you say he was poor for majority of the season?

If you do want to have a debate you actually have to try and make a point first instead of just throwing out random statements.

Poor? How so?

Cause some his flicks didn't come off? Because he only averaged 88% pass completion instead of 90%? Because he was tied for 2nd most assists in the PL and not 1st? Or was it because he averaged more dribbles per game than Bale but not Messi? Or maybe because even though he was dispossessed even fewer times than Mata himself, it's unacceptable for an attacking midfielder playing in the final third to loose the ball at all?

[Blue Armour 4,165]

How exactly finishing very poor? Inconsistent is perhaps more accurate, and even that's a bit too harsh I feel. Mata for example, is one who needs to work on his finishing. For the amount of chances he has at goal, he could easily become a 20 goal per season midfielder.

Hazard perhaps needs to become a bit more selfish, but tbh I like his laid-back approach to playing. It allows him to play his natural game, which has worked out well for the rest of the team.

[robsblubot 3,222]

I was not far from where Hazard was making those wonderful runs in the second half (against Roma). It's just not pace, his short dribbling is quite phenomenal. He's cold and determined individual, and these types of players usually become very good at finishing eventually.

BTW, finishing to me isn't just putting the ball in the back of the net; to a wide player finishing may well be providing an assist, and that's what he did today against Roma. I want to see more of that actually.

read closely - good bribbler

can't deny he's a good bribbler

Come on man, seems to me this forum is essentially populated with good, mesured people who know quite well football. For one troll there's ten others telling him to get the fuck out, a 1/10 ratio is excellent compared to other forums i've been in

BTW, did you watch the Lille-Lorient game last night ? It was soporific but Origi played the first 55 minutes and scored the only goal of the match, a one on one against the keeper won with plenty of composure

WTH did I just read?

I now understand what some people warned me about the Eden thread. This is the 2nd, 3rd nonsense I've read about him this week (although some of it was in the match thread). I don't know where people get those ideas from I honestly fail to understand...

Hyped on potential, now sloppy passing and decision making... and to ice the cake poor/average for most of the season...

And who are neutral/unbiased fans? Because they can't be Liverpool, Arsenal,ManUtd, ManCity fans... who are generally very biased about our players.

I understand frustration with his finishing.. he is frustrated with it and he set a very high bar for him this season. He has a great manager that already recognized his potential and talent. And he is 22!!!!! Give him time.

And if our glasses are tinted with blue, I suppose yours is with solid black? Because there's no way you've seen Eden Hazard at all.
