I think you're overrating the level of playmaking those 3 have. Ozil is the only real contender there but he's not been creating much in Arsenal's system. For me, Messi and Fabregas are tier 1, then there's everyone else.

Nope it isn't debatable to me. His passing is on another level to any other midfielder in the World. Only Messi can match his vision.

By far the best midfielder in the World both talent and form wise.

That disguised pass was insane. The fact somehow Rui Patricio read it further emphasizes just how good he was tonight.

His passing is still annoyingly erratic at times especially when he's sharing the pitch with elite decision makers like Hazard and Cesc. That said, his vision has come leaps and bounds this season, inconsistently and a lack of final pass are the two biggest complaints about him and he's definitely improved on both on the basis of the season so far. I also want to see him playing with more flair and taking players on.

That picture is so wrong.

Why didn't one of those chances fall to Hazard?

Which is why I said vision rather than passing. He still gives away too many cheap passes.

Oscar the best with Hazard, Matic and Cesc not too far behind.

He's been very good this season and his vision has improved. He's also starting to show more flair and skill on the ball.

That and his workrate. He's been very good defensively and has done a fantastic job on Nani.

Schurrle has been absolutely dreadful so far. Pretty much everyone has played well bar him. Oscar, Matic, Fabregas and Hazard the standouts.

Oscar is fantastic. Fuck the haters.

Did you just group Darren Bent with Michael Owen lol? The same Michael Owen that scored 46 goals in 2 seasons before his 20th birthday? If Lukaku ever reaches Owen's prime he would be the best striker on the planet.

Hazard's all round game is levels ahead of Bale and Reus. Robben & Neymar are different stories altogether, those two have all his strengths but also regularly contribute with goals.

It was all going so well until here.

The English media overrated him so now he's getting some backlash but he's still a very good talent. His run for Naismith's goal against Arsenal and his goal against WBA are evidence of that. Despite his flaws he's still by far the best striker in his age group.

He's a brilliant player in my opinion. As good as Gibbs, Shaw & Baines, possibly even better than all 3 but he's clearly never going to get a chance at the club. Hopefully we can get at least £10-15m for him next summer.

Nah, vision is a tie at worst. Neymar's through balls, crossing, set piece taking ability (something Hazard is awful at) and creativity in the final third is just as good as Hazard's arguably even better. Hazard is definitely the better passer in general play and more intelligent though. Dribbling is probably equal. Hazard is a more technical dribbler and accelerates quicker but Neymar is more skillful of the two and more explosive over longer distances. Left footed goals from Neymar. They're about equal there as well. Again, in terms of all around play there's not much difference between the two. It's goalscoring where Neymar is miles better. Neymar is on course to break Pele's NT record while Eden hasn't even reached double figures yet. Neymar already has 6 goals this season while Hazard is still stuck on 1. If Hazard wants a Balon D'or he can't rest on his laurels like so many of fans want him to. He really needs to increase his goal-output this season. He should be getting at least 20 in open play each year.

What exactly can Hazard do that Neymar can't? Add in Neymar's goalscoring ability and it's a no contest.

Neymar is miles better than Hazard but apart from him I would agree. Anyway, the point of that list is he needs to be scoring more goals.

Mario Götze: 9 games, 5 goals. Neymar: 6 games, 6 goals. Gareth Bale: 10 games, 5 goals. Raheem Sterling: 8 games, 3 goals James Rodriguez: 10 games, 3 goals Oscar: 6 games, 2 goals. Eden Hazard: 8 games, 1 goal. LOL

Thought he was excellent today. Jose said he would change his tactics to bring the best out of him and he stayed true to his word. We haven't seen a player running games like that since Ballack left.

Hazard is the reason Villa are still in this game. Lazy and lethargic performance. He's not playing badly but he's making no real impact on the game. Needs to raise his game in the 2nd half. Oscar is a brilliant player.

He's shit. Villa are making him look good. Sell him and replace him with Coutinho.
