I will take one for the team then!! From now on I will dress like a female every time I enter the forum. Word of honour!

Wow .... nice acceleration actually. just wow.

Houston, I think we might have a wee gender bias on here

According to Lukaku Hazard is in training BY FAR the fastest of the Belgian National Team - which is saying something :-)

It is because I love teasing you. As much as schoolgirls do

This. This. And yes, indeed. Torres all over again.

Ow yes .... Ooooooooow yes ..... Us Illuminati are coming

Of course. Faith is good, control is better however

Ow ok ! Didnt get that at all ....

This kid is golden! I hope to finally see a lot more of him!

Yipieeeeee!! Welcome mate! Have a LOT of fun on here!!

Hypothetically or factually?

so bad

or a KDB :-)

Cool! Thanks for the Opta links ... looks nice! I just downloaded the app as well! I do find Hazards unselfishness a plus and an asset to the team :-)

You did confirm he is more than mere 'average', no? Plus, as I said before - he is a different player than Messi or Ronaldo. so I do not see the problem. Stats are a dangerous thing sometimes (Wikipedia because im an old fart): 1. Ronaldo did that when indeed 22 (23 in that season since february so older then Hazard) in his 4th season at Manu. since that changes a LOT - judgement has to be suspended. 2. Messi : at the age of Hazard (21 when arriving here if I am not mistaken) 16 goals and 13 assists in 40 games. Hmmmm Hazards year when 21 was not so bad as well :-). It is only the year after Messi exploded as your numbers point out. By then, however, it was his fifth season at Barca. Judgement has to be suspended although Messi's stats from that point on are stellar!! 3. Mata : 9 goals in 43 appearances at 21 - 4th year at Valencia. So .... Can anyone say Hazard is not going to get to that qualitative heights? There is no data to suggest that, let alone it is an easy conclusion to come by. Does my posts imply Hazard is Messi/Ronaldo or meant to be of such quality in the near fututre: no as well. What the data does suggest (when you take at the right - comparable - variables) is that he is a very, very talented one and a very good finisher for one in his position. What i also wanted to point out is that jumping the bandwagon about him being an average finisher is NOT supported by data.

Lets take this to the pub then my friend.

sorry but then I will nominate Kojo man! Edit: Ow and Santiago for most dramatic exit

sold! I will pay you in Duvel.

I give up ....
