If he goes we can say bye bye to trophies in the next years. Only potential replacement for someone of his abilities would be Reus which is injury prone and Bale which might not even want to leave.

not necessarily, reinvest heavily in midfield and defence, we don't have to replace like for like. Anyway an overhaul of both defence and midfield has to happen, regardless of Hazard 's future, without that overhaul in both department we're not going to win any trophies in a very long time. Winning trophies is in no way tied down to Hazard, more like winning the occasional match here and there.

Hopefully he starts at the Emirates and rips Arsenal apart. Hope he doesn't leave this transfer window.

What a massive boost he could get if he score against arsenal today after his injury. If he do it, he could probably turn the cards and be a really important part of our team once again.
His confidence is really low and as soon as he scores goal, it will grow much and will show the world why he is one of the best in this game.

[Special Juan 28,759]

No idea what to expect from him today.

[mccg 1,528]

Hazard to come off bench and score would b nice

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Turned on the class when he came on. Looked a little big, but that is expected.

 

Would give him a few minutes to get some more fitness against MK Dons, and then unleash him against watford.

He needs to start an entire game. Enough of these cameos. It's killing his rhythm. Should've been on at the start of the 2nd half. Thankfully, Arsenal wasted all their half chances.

[Special Juan 28,759]

If our levels remain like this and he comes into his own we can very difficult to beat again.

Eden, stop going to Fast-Food restaurants, you got fat 

[chelseamabz 17]

Hazard looked a little chubby and slow from my observations. I know he's been limited lately but good grief mate. 

[Fulham Broadway 17,743]

Fatter than Joe Cole -still potentially two assists today

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

 

He looked pretty sharp when he came on. Didn't try to force things, sensibly. But even in his little actions, the immense quality was there for all to see.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He's by FAR the most talented player in the team and it's easier to remember that when  he's been out for a while. Absolutely delighted to have him back. 

[DYC. 7,542]

 

Easy to forget how good he is. This reminded me why I fell so hard for him.

Otherworldly awareness. Ability to make decisions in a fraction of a second. And execute his ideas.

I seriously need you get back to business, Eden. Guus, the man with the magic touch, please make it happen.

And I don't to see him in another kit. Just look at that beautiful blue on him.

[Mustafa 885]

In those 20 minutes he played, he showed WHY I dont think he'll ever become the best player in the world. 

He had two HALF CHANCES. Chances where, if he used his ability, pace and energy because he just came on.. He could've sealed the game for us and bagged his first goal this season. But as we have seen time and time again, he shies away from responsibility. Real lack of killer instinct.

And what i dislike the most about the two occasions where he passed sideways to his teammate instead of going alone (which he is more than capable of), was his reaction when they made a mess of the chance. There was none, he just turned around and walked back without any care in the world. It's beginning to look like he doesn't care.. or doesn't care enough. Idk about you but if I hadnt scored since May, and I gave up a good opportunity to my teammate to put away a chance I COULD HAVE taken, I'd be pissed... So idk.

I really don't know with Eden Hazard any more. It's like I care because I love the guy and he has ridiculous amounts of potential which I'm afraid might go unfulfilled but at the same time, I don't care as long as I get to enjoy watching him week in week out cuz he's a beautiful footballer. (Not gonna lie tho, as much as I enjoy watching him play.. when he does shit like what he did today.. I screamed at the screen  cuz I desperately want him to do well, almost more than he wants to maybe)

I agree, but only with your point regarding Diego. 

 

You can excuse the striker for cutting an isolated figure when the midfield behind him can boast the same inventiveness and incisiveness that a three year-old could. But that is the issue - Hazard has been, all season, akin to that three year-old midfielder. He looks absolutely useless at everything he attempts. There is an obvious crisis of confidence and the only conclusion I can come to is that the boy's heart isn't at Chelsea. He seems to have lost his hunger, whilst Diego has had his reinvigorated. I'm not holding out for a similar transformation by Eden. 

 

But anyway, this is Diego's thread. 

Aren't you skipping over the fact that Costa had a period where his off the ball movement in the box was non existent ? Kinda difficult to create chances for your striker when he's forgotten what a near post run is.

It got so bad that Mourinho got into an argument at a game at half time, think it was against Tel Aviv and then benched him the next couple of games. 

Seems to me like you're using double standards when it comes to Costa and Hazard's poor form this season. Both have to take some responsibility for their poor form but both have also suffered from the poor team performances.

( and let's face it Mourinho also clearly had a negative affect on the both of them and the rest of the team this season.)

You can't let one player off the hook by blaming it all on the team but then hold the other player 100 % responsible and question his commitment.

Costa reinvigorated himself under Hiddink. Hazard hasn't really had the chance to reinvigorate himself, under Hiddink, since he still hasn't played much due to his injuries.

So how about you give him some time to reinvigorate himself before you write off our most talented player we have at this club.

 

"He looks absolutely useless at everything he attempts" 

Hazard's been poor this season but "absolutely useless at everything he attempts" ? What a ridiculous exaggeration.

Willian in the best form of his Chelsea career has created 49 chances this season (and that's with taking the majority of our  freekicks) while Hazard in the worst form of his Chelsea career has created  46 chances with 2 less games played then Willian

but sure absolutely useless at everything he attempts...

That's your opinion.

 

I stick by mine. Hazard has been useless and only apologists will try and excuse the fact he's been a failure. If Hazard turns it around suddenly, then fair play to him. Doesn't excuse his performances, or lack of. I find it funny when you use statistics to make a point, but neglect the most important one. Goals. Willian, 8. Hazard, 0. 

 

Edit: You're entitled to have your opinion, and I can respect the opinions of other people. But there is no excusing the whole squad for this season. Big players have to stand out and be counted. Hazard has been arguably worse than Matic. That says something.

Everyone is indeed entitled to have an opinion on the matter but i never said you couldn't have one now did i ? I just simply gave mine.

 

Well it's not that funny cause the point i made was about your claim that Hazard was "absolutely useless at everything he attempts".

I brought up the stat because, atleast for me, it proves that your claim is extremely exaggerated.

How can a player that's second in most chances created (for our team) and only created 3 chances less then Willian (player in his best form and first in most chances created) be "absolutely useless at everything he attempts" ?

That was my point. I'm not saying Hazard's been better or just as good as Willian this season or that he hasn't been poor.

 

You say there's no excusing the whole squad but if you blame the whole squad then why are you only singling out Hazard ? Why is he the only player you're accusing of lack of commitment ?

 

I'm sorry but it's clear to me that you're using double standards when it comes to assigning blame to players. Costa gets a free pass from you because he's isolated and because the midfield is poor but Hazard you accuse of lack of commitment

and when i use the same "excuses" you use, to take away the blame from Costa, you say me and anyone else that does is just an apologist. Kinda hypocritical wouldn't you say ?

Although i'm guessing that's probably why you completely ingored the part i wrote about Costa.

@Belgiannut, just look at the turnaround by everyone on Costa, half the forum was ready to sell him, now he's a god again after 3-4 good games.

Football fans are a ridiculous bunch, same will happen when Hazard scores a few, wouldn't waste too much breath on it

Yeah i know. It's just the "lack of commitment", " heart isn't at Chelsea" crap that annoys me.

You're right though should just try ignoring them.
