Exactly, the play hasn't been good since the second half of last season. But in that part of the season we were often rescued by individual skill of Hazard, Fabregas,..

Well, Chelsea should sell him then! So he can go and play for à good team with à decent coach ;-) Bullshit that he doesn't track back!

Wow, what an intelligent answer! I'm really impressed! Maybe you can still go on and chant "Mourinho, Mourinho" when you play City and KDB scores against Chelsea. Perhaps you should also sell Hazard so he can go and play for a decent team! Because hé's the only one worth watching at Chelsea!

Dreeeeeeam, dream dream dream...Unles Abramovic fires Mourinho today the title is gone. And for the Champions League we lack quality in the defense. And...watch that guy who is about to join Man City this season but who wasn't good enough for our stupid one!

Stop expecting the impossible. If your team plays as bad as Chelsea did. A player like Hazard can't do it all by himself. Even players like Ronaldo and Messi who are on a higher lever can't whern their recpective teams are outplayed like Chelsea was yesterday. Did you see Ronaldo do anything in the Champions League semi final last year against Juventus when his team was playing bad? Do you see Messi when he had to play as far back as Hazard? Hazard was the only players on a decent level today. Start blaming players like Costa who is only busy picking fights with his opponents instead of playing football. Start blaming Mourinho for not buying top-players in defence who can do more than defend and who can als add someting in the buildup like Kompany at City. I can not understand that a player like Mikel is still on the bench for a team that is supposed to have Champions League ambitions. In defence, Teyy, Cahill and Ivanovic lack pace. A lot of pace. Terry and Ivanovic compensate some of it by ecperience but Cahill... 1 on 1 against a player like Aguero he is a disaster. It looks like everyons was blinded by last years title. However, also last year a lot of shortcomings were visible. Look at the ngame against PSG. But it seems Mourinho didn't mind. So prepare for a season without a trophy!

There is also a lot of perception in this. What qualifying game since the World Cup has De Bruyne performed better than Hazard. In almost every game since the World Cup, Hazard has been one of the better players on the pitch. It is true that his Belgian teammates sometimes don't seem to get him. At Chelsea, they give him the ball if he asks it. Even if he is covered. In the Belgian team they look aftaid to pass the ball in those exact situations. And that is the reason why he can't do the same because he is almost always covered by an opponent. But at Chelsea that doesn't matter and hist teammates know this.

You can't compare 2 players playing for a different team playing against a complete different team.

Wat passiveness are you talking about? Against France I would agree but not against Wales. Yesterday he played a match like he also plays for Chelsea. The only difference is his Chelsea teammates make runs when he has the ball. His Belgian teammates just stand and look at what he is going to do. Also, they don't pass him the ball often enough. At Chelsea they pass him the ball when he has 2 meters of space. His Belgium teammates don't have the confidence to do this it seems. They only pass him when he has a lot of space but that is not going to happen close to the box. Anyway, for me Hazard has been one of the best Belgian played in every game since the World Cup. By the way, yesterday he was also named Best Belgian player of the match.

I'm also Belgian and I rate Hazard higher than KDB. However, KDB comes very close. Has different qualities. He actually is the kind of player Chelsea misses at te moment. Everytime I see Oscar struggling or messing up a counter attack I always think of the player Chelsea had and let go without giving him a chance. Also, I can imagine that Mourinho might have had a personal problem with KDB because he speaks his mind. Hazard is an exceptional player on the pitch but he is also the easiest player for a coach. Which other player of his quality(Messi, Ronaldo, Robben,...) would accept having to defend as much as he does in top matches without any complaint?
