I'm saying no one except hazard can dribble past people in tight spaces, in fact even when there's space only hazard can take the ball past more than one person. Every team should have at least 3 if they want to open up defences easier. I don't want to start to name the number of dribblers Realmadrid, Barcelona and bayern have.

Exactly, sell him and get a proper dribbler. They are not exactly goalscorers but they can dribble past people like hazard does and having that on the right wing too takes our attacking play to another level

This guy and thiago are technique kings. Crazy good

Exactly, but if we get him, pogba and reus.

The only way willian can score like this is to play in the center. Him and oscar should probably swap places since oscar is off form and oscar has played in the wing a lot before.

Hazard against tottenham had a free role and didn't have much defensive responsibilities bcos we were chasing the game. His full energy was used only in attack and we should have scored more than 3 with the clear chances we had to be honest. If we could find a formation to leave hazard and Costa up front but only pressing the defenders in possession while oscar follows the rightback, he would have so much energy to put that tottenham performance everyweek. It would be almost like a 4-4-2 Madrid style with hazard playing the ronaldo role of staying up for counterattacks when we defend, while oscar goes to the left. But during attacking, hazard can have a free role to use his reserved energy for attacking to the maximum as ronaldo does. Would love to see this against smaller teams in the league, we don't need more than 8 outfield players defending teams like Leicester and hull. 2 people should stay up so that our counterattacks will be more deadly.

I just hope we don't get more defensive because ivanovic and cahill have no one on one man-marking abilities so need to be babysitted by more of our attack.

The guy is a fraud. I know his pressing is a huge contribution to our game play but no starter in any top 3 team of any country has such stats. Terrible

I'm sad that he wasn't given more games to try and overtake willian/schurlle. He has poor finishing (always seems to misshit his shot) but he tries to take on players and can actually dribble more than Willian /schurlle. He also has the knack to know how to get chances in a match which is a very valuable trait.

We just need someone who can consistently dribble through bodies among our attacking midfielders. I'm fed up with hazard doing it alone.

1goal, 1assist in 16 games??? Jésus!!

Ivanovic vs a player Run backwards, put your hands behind your back and let him cross, but if he comes inside I'm screwed. Tottenham knew this and terrorized his flank

He can't defend one on one and tackle the ball. Back off till Kane shoots or I can't get the ball

Our centerbacks can't defend one on one with anyone, for the first time in a while cahill had Matic on terrible form and has been exposed. Tottenham used ivanovic and Cahill's side to attack and score all their goals, incredible.

Matic should have a rest. He made only one tackle of note. Our whole Defense was exposed after that

Hazard is all alone creatively among our attacking midfielders and its fucking embarrassing now

Congratulations lampard. Looks like your winner and new contract clearly got to the head of your friends terry, ivanovic and cahill. Well done

Lmao cahill Lmao ivanovic Lmao Matic Hazard is being avoided by our team. What an irony that lampard getting the winner is getting to the head of his close friends terry cahill and ivanovic

We would be 5points ahead if we have long range shooters like that in our team

We need to just win our games one at a time and forget the other rivals

Wow.I don't think any manager got to train this much stars

This. He could have just joined city from the start.And nyfc fans bought season tickets just to see frank play have all been scammed. Thats even more sad from frankie

Just lay the ball back for someone to shoot from the edge of the box once in a while. We must enter the box to shoot this season,very annoying when even the bigger teams like Southampton can park the bus too and succeeded.

He is like essien, strength, power and pace in the midfield. Would slot in easily for us during champions League games where fabregas can't play in the pivot
