Same as what @johnnythefirst is saying + A player with a bad workrate doesn't make it in the Bundesliga, the most physical competitions of all, let alone be one of the standout players. I think it's sad to see that any player dropped by Mourinho automatically gets a bad name: Lukaku, Mata, De Bruyne ... Just because Mou doesn't want them in his team, doesn't mean they are players with a bad attitude.

My bad, it's hard to tell on these forums who's talking serious and who's not.

Of course, I'm not saying anything bad about Willian! I actually love this player. Check my profile and you'll notice that I got him down as my favourite. But that doesn't matter for KDB's case. Moments after he decided to stay at Chelsea because of what Mourinho said, a new AMR/C is bought for £££££££££.

Sorry, you're right! It was Willian who was brought in moments after Mourinho called De Bruyne "a potential key player for this Chelsea". Salah was only in January.

Yep, that's what they say against newcomers in the Championship. We're talking Premier League and wordclass here mate ... It's "another ball game" as they say.

I'm not looking to go into this discussion all over again. But there's a difference between being on the bench more than you like & not getting any chances at all, not even making the 18 in most matches, except for stupid league cup. In the second case, you really can't say a player is "unpatient" if he want to leave, "humiliated" is probably the better word. Especially for a player with the proven potential of KDB. Now that's the last - I promise - I will say about that, I don't care how many replies I get.

Yep, I really believe Mourinho misjudged his potential. The fact that he went to get Salah when De Bruyne was still at Chelsea speaks loads. Shame shame shame

It's a pitty my quoting doesn't function anymore, otherwise I would reply to lionsden that the fact that he prefers a long distance strike (Reus' goal), albeit a fine one, over incredible technique and team moves (Ronaldo's & Hazard's goals), tells me all I need to know about his "passion" for football. I'd rather be easily thrilled than dead spoiled tbh.

so what does it take, 500 posts ? pff that 'll take me at least one or two more months ... and I have a baby on the way ... so that 'll be six months at least FFS!

are you kidding? James' through ball was nothing special? Hazard's control and fisnish nothing special? they are all excellent goals, no point in questioning that

Way way way too early to make any statements about that. First step was showing himself at Mönchengladbach, I think he's been doing just that, 3 goals in 2 EL matches, another goal yesterday, a couple of assists already. Next step is becoming a regular starter for BMG. Then an indispensable, stand-out player. Then he can move to Chelsea and try to give the boys in the starting XI a run for their money. But we could be talking two or three seasons from now. He's got the potential, you see that in his touches, that's all what matters for the moment. If I'm honest I really can see him playing alongside Eden at The Bridge one day. But maybe I'm just dreaming

Yes, everyone knows he can improve on finishing, Hazard himself to begin with, but then again that lack of pure killer instinct is part of his whole charm I guess. He's not an extra-terrestial like Messi & Cristiano, he's just an exceptional human football player with shortcomings like everybodye else. Jesus, how many f****** posts does it take to get that 3rd lion??

Please stop manipulating my posts, adding words and stuff, is really childish. Grow up.

I really wonder what Lukaku did wrong to deserve this constant bashing from your side, even when he's far away from The Bridge and won us a whole lot of money. Don't forget that this guy is a genuine boyhood Chelsea fan, a big difference with the vast majority of mercennaries playing for the top clubs around the world. So he really doesn't deserve all that stick. Grow up.

Guys, it's the league cup, only thing that matters here is the result and the fact that we did it in 90 minutes. These matches are never any good, regardless of who plays, so don't expect anything from it. Unfair to judge players like Salah & Schürrle on a performance in a night like this. It's Kevin De Bruyne all over again. Either you give these guys a decent shot, by letting them play consecutive matches with importance (EPL, Champions League) or you don't pretend them to be anything more but back-ups, and then don't expect exceptional displays from them.

Exactly.

For a guy who 'doesn't know how to score goals, how to win games or be consinstent', I think the below stats over his 227 professional appearances are pretty impressive: - 62 goals - 60 assists - 40 MOTM awards - 7.54 average rating If you don't believe my word for it: http://www.whoscored.com/Players/33404/History/Eden-Hazard Not quite like your favorite player Emile Heskey yet, but coming close isn't he?

De Bruyne! Beautiful player with enormous work rate, vista, technique and shooting. Rapidly becoming one of Bündesliga biggest stars. According to Squawka already 13th highest rated player over the last year in the five major European leagues. Not long before we see him shine at Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund. Would've been the ideal stand-in for Oscar.

I don't really get where I insulted you,but apologies if you feel offended ...

Hail to the new self-elected King Know-It-All of Football! ... This 'll be Hazard's problem for the whole of his career. Fans who genuinely enjoy a game of football will love him because they see & appreciate how glorious his touches are. Fans who are just about the results and the stats dislike him because they feel all of his "nice football" leads to too little. I'm happy to be in the first group. If you think about it, it's actually the same discussion as Lukaku's but then the other way around. Fans from the first group dislike Lukaku because of the ugly technique. Fans from the 2nd group love him because of his great goalscoring record.

Runs to the corner flag only start near injury time ... he was subbed off by then ... that's my whole point. I find it hard talking to you man

I mean the goal AGAINST ... jesus
