Weckerz 3,781 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I too think that from the three of Mata Hazard and Oscar, Hazard will probably be the one to make way. Especially since his form seems to be currently having a bit of a dip. Nevertheless, if all 4 were on full form, I would start with Oscar, De Bruyne and Mata, with De Bruyne in the middle.I don't think there's a single team in the world that wouldn't play an in full form Hazard MGuerreiro, Stingray and robdog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 all the fuss about Eden is because he played some so-so matches in the pre-season. Isn't it common knowledge that he doesn't like friendlies? I know this isn't a NT friendly and pre-season according to Mourinho and now John Terry - is one of the most critical parts of the season. But that's not to say what he can or can't do, but to recover the physical form to play the following nine months.He may put an effort - and I believe he does - but the fact is maybe what really motivates him is playing real competitions, what makes he run the extra mile - something he might not even control in a conscious level. It's more than understandable that he isn't playing his better level yet. That's what pre-season is here for, so he can find his best form again as we enter the official tournaments in a few weeks.Kevin has space in the team, especially when you see José complimenting him like that. He wouldn't have said Kev is one of the key players for us and that he is fantastic if he didn't think so.He will play for us and he may eventually even play where Eden plays, but to expect Eden to leave the team to accommodate Kev seems far-fetched imo.Kevin will start some matches for us and he will progress and maybe even end the season as a regular in the starting XI. That won't be replacing Hazard though... robdog, Moros, Eden2020 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before his injury last season, Hazard was Chelsea's in form player. In the 2nd half of the season he was better than Mata. This is a ridiculous thing to say. Can't believe people genuinely wouldn't start Hazard because of two meaningless games. Absolutely shocking. blu35_army, Eden2020, Stingray and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukakutoStamford 779 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It's not a versus thing. Not to mention the whole who is better argument is absurd. I think what's going to happen is De Bruyne will play in such a way that Chelsea can't afford not to play him. It then in theory leaves one of Mazacar out and unless Hazard craps the bed he's not going to be the one left out.Interesting dilemma to have. England would be a lot more dangerous had De Bruyne picked the 3 lions instead of Belgium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borriske 330 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 For better or for worse, the impression i have of hazard is that he is carefree to the extreme. On the upside this allows him to deal with huge amounts of pressure (transfer price tag, ball boy incident). On the downside, it sometimes makes him appear lazy/arrogant, while in truth this is far from the case. That's why i believe he plays at his best when he is having fun (just look at all the pictures taken during the pre-season tour), and these games don't really lend themselves to 'having fun'That said, he does look like has put on some weight, but, hey, that's what pre)season is for sureshot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 at least perhaps we won't HAVE to play Mata every game ... people seem to have forgotten how painfully thin our squad was last year .Jose has many more eggs in his basket this year and they are all Grade 1...

Tomo 21,751 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 English rootsKevin de Bruyne's mother was born in Ealing, west London, making him eligible to play internationally for England. However, he opted for the country of his birth, making his debut for Belgium in August 2010 while still a teenager.Thank fuck for that :>I knew there was English blood in his family but didn't know it was his mother..Imagine KDB playing under Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hazard costs £32m and on £170k per week, he is Torres equivalent in midfield so he is not going to be benched. Well not unless Jose wants him to anyway but there is no way he is going to be out of the picture on the bench because he is one of our highest paid player.

Too many people get tunnel vision and try to make some grand proclamation to first rather than right. With Hazard, it was easy to tell how good he was going to be because be was doing things like 2x young footballer of the year and 2x footballer of the year in France. He even helped Lille win. Lague title which was equivalent to Wolvehampton winning the PL title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
