You can't do what you can't do.

Exactly. Memphis has finishing in his blood, he's ruthless with it. Eden just isn't that player unfortunately. I said it when he joined that the biggest thing he needs to work on is his finishing and got heckled for it, but honestly it looks like that was true and sadly, it doesn't seem like he has progressed in that aspect of his play at all. He gets himself into very good positions to shoot sometimes.

If Eden shot more accurately, he'd definitely get defenders to panic more whenever he got into the box, but it's like the defenders know he won't shoot.

for an attacking winger he should be able to do it. or at least try some more you never know he might get better

[Jase 43,479]

Hazard's shooting from outside the box is terrible and we all know that. That's why he will never be the best

There's such thing call 'Practice' and not sure how you can say his shooting is terrible when he has scored some great ones and the fact that he doesn't shoot enough.

If Michael Owen hasn't had his cock out in commentary there I would be very surprised. Wanking himself daft over United.

If I had to pick between listening to Michael Owen's voice and moving up the butt of a 70-year-old prostitute, I'd be on my way to the store to get lubricant.

How did he of all people get the job?

I guess you make a fair point but Hazard does score goals. Not goals like that (for the most part) but he does score so I don't have a problem with it.

He just needs to score more. Any Messi and Ronaldo numbers fantasies need to be put to bed though.

I know, absolute bell end

Check out his goals at his first and second season. The one against Stoke was a fucking beauty

[Pizy 18,368]

Memphis has that same mentality and killer instinct that his compatriot Robben has and what I wish Hazard had. He wants to test the keeper with every opportunity he gets. Shoot, shoot, shoot.

Also, Smalling has improved dramatically. Shaw is settling in nicely there too and will be top class. If we fuck around and aren't able to sign Stones and they do they'll have one hell of a back 4. Darmian looks great as well. All can play comfortably with the ball at their feet and are very mobile. Basically the opposite of ours. Stones is just the type of CB LvG loves and the type of signing that would be typical Man United.

Why we need to make positive we get him.

But Hazard can't achieve that if he doesn't shoot more when the chance is there. He's too selfless!

Memphis is shooter. Power and precision. Dangerous weapon. But he's still too easy to take out. His all-round game needs a lot of work. But he's only 21.

I'm very interested to see how he'll develop. He can become a top player, I'm sure of it. But you can't predict these things.

[DYC. 7,542]

True. I guess that's what he's trying to develop. He's mentioned his desire to score more goals more than a few times.

I personally don't think his goal-scoring prowess is as bad as some make it out to be though. He also does so much for the team in other areas. But he can do better, definitely.

[Weckerz 3,781]

That was class from Rooney :F

[DYC. 7,542]

What a miss from Depay. Brilliant play from Utd, Rooney in particular.

And yet, we haven't really seen do that on the pitch. He's still thinking more of assisting than scoring.

[Weckerz 3,781]

Bruges though

Only for Depay to blast the shot over. Definitely overrated @The Skipper.

I guess. It's only been two games though and the team has been dire.

I don't want Hazard to suddenly start taking shots left and right like Depay, Cristiano and whoever.

[Weckerz 3,781]

He was overrated because of the English media who put him in the Hazard/Silva/Sanchez category before he even set foot in England.

He's as good as you can expect a young guy coming from the Eredivisie to be imo. Tremendous talent, especially his shooting technique is incredible
