Popular Post! Tomo 21,751 Posted October 5, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted October 5, 2013 I can just about get the uproar in Mata not playing because of what he has already done for us, but KDB has just joined us properly and played a few games where Hull aside he hasn't looked that good. Schurrle has looked better (so far) yet not an eyelid was batted when he was left out of the squad for Basle, KDB gets left out for Steauna and WW3 and every conspiracy in the book bubbles up.

The majority of Belgian posters that joined in 2013 are KDB fans, not Chelsea fans.They probably haven't even seen his games for Chelsea. I don't think you'll see such a fuss over Hazard if he gets benched. He's not Flemish afterall.

Could you tell me why Belgian media and fans seem to care more about KDB than Hazard? Even put last year's performances aside, Hazard's price tag should indicate him being more highly rated and should inspire higher expectations than KDB, if anything, no?

Even put last year's performances aside, Hazard's price tag should indicate him being more highly rated and should inspire higher expectations than KDB, if anything, no?Well firstly I'm Flemish, so I'm not sure how they get portrayed in Wallonia, but in Flanders KDB gets more love because 1) He's Flemish, 2) He has performed better for our NT than Hazard has, 3) There was this 'hamburger incident' a while ago where Hazard was spotted eating a hamburger outside the stadium during the game after he got subbed. This created an image of Hazard being a brat, mainly because the press made such a fuss about it Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goemaere 131 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 KBD is a little (read: a fucking lot) overrated in Belgium. But should be on the bench at chelsea, not in the stands. sutro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the funniest crisis I've ever heard. thanks for that. Also I never know which part is the dutch which is the french. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This created an image of Hazard being a brat, mainly because the press made such a fuss about itReason one and three have nothing to do with Kdb being more popular. The only reason Kdb is more popular in Belgium is because he plays every game for our NT so well contrary to Hazard. But I agree the press overrates him. Still, he should at least be on the bench imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Kevin didn't make the bench again today and the other players are getting ahead of him - on merit - in the pecking order.It's gonna be tough for him but I hope we don't sell him as he has the tools to be great.

DDA 9,938 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Why can we all see that he could easily be moulded into our new Lamps but Mourinho can't!.Sooo strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I dont want to get into the discussion of whether KDB deserves to be the last of the picking order or not. Jose is the manager and if he decides Kevin still has ways to go before playing for Chelsea, I will accept.However, I find it funny that the same members who were defending the big depth we have in the attack are now complaining whenever someone doesnt play (Mata, Kevin, Willian, etc)...

Shakez 755 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Im a De Bruyne fan, but both him and Lukaku made the wrong decision into signing for Chelsea at their age. Despite all the talent Belgium is churning out, our League(Belgium) is shit. To go up from there too Chelsea is too big of a step. They may have the talent, but at that age that talent only shows in glimpses, U can't depend on that as a topclub. Best thing imo is to loan him in january, with Hazard/Oscar/Willian/Mata/Schürrle we have all the depth we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac.bo 48 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Jose wants every player to play to his max so he forms the strongest unit and if a player falls short of this while playing he will be subbed or benched or left out of the squad while telling them probly that they will get chances throughout the long season and its upto them to prove their worth! Im glad our squad is bigger than last years 4 sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my CFC supporting friends has been spent the last 5/6 years moaning about players power and now this year has been saying we should play Mata all game every game out of respect.So after all this time he has his wish, player power has gone, and now he is as good as calling for it to return, you can't make it up nachikethas, Rmpr and Barbara 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they should all just shut up and accept the consequences of having a lot of options: which is the fact not everyone will play all the time.However, all some can do is complain. Complain when Mata doesnt play, complain when Willian doesnt play, complain when KDB doesnt play, etc.Just like Mata at the begining of the season, there are players playing better and showing more than Kevin. So I dont see the fuss people are making about him not playing... Tomo and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDY 1,290 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The comments from his agent are the type of things you want to hear. Hopefully he gets his head down and fights even harder for his place. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Every time you hear Kevin in the media, it is not to whine but he keeps repeating he is going to fight. That is the mentality - eventually he will get his shot. We have a team full of stiff competition. It is up to him to grab the few chances he will get. He will start two games with the NT, get that match rhythm going and hopefully be ready for another screamer soon :-) :blue scalf: Tomo, Azpinator and zolayes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
