LAM09 7,056 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Eden struggled to score last season too. He was a lot worse than Pedro in even getting into goal scoring positions. I'm havent really taken much of last season as a season that defined any player's traits or abilities. We saw for Barcelona that Pedro has a good goal scoring instinct. I would say that he actually has a better goal scoring instinct than Eden. That's not a knock on Eden, just that they are different players. Eden is first and foremost a dribbler, whereas Pedro's strength lie in his off the ball runs, hence why he gets himself in better goal scoring positions to begin with. If Eden could only grasp that aspect of Pedro's game and add it to his own he'd be much more of a threat as a goal scorer. I personally think Pedro was able to do what he did because he was in that great Barca squad, but I don't see him getting anywhere near those levels here (if he stays). Hazard doesn't have a killer instinct IMO and prefers to slow the game or pass instead of shooting. He needs to be more ruthless at times to be an even bigger asset.

After 10 minutes he was played as a second striker behind Batshuayi. Thought he did really well there. He scored 2 goals from that position. Also helped out with our build up by dropping off, providing an outlet for our defenders and midfielders while holding onto the ball to allow the rest of the team to get forward. Already looking sharper then i expected him to be given he's only been in preseason for 4-5 days. So good signs. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Conte : ‘Eden Hazard played 30 minutes and he is recovering a good shape. I like him in this position, like a forward, and he can be a good solution for us. Also playing as a winger. To play as a second forward he must improve his shape but he is working and he knows his shape can a lot in the same way as the other players.’ https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2016/07/conte--nothing-if-not-a-team.html So what are everyone's thoughts on Hazard playing as a second forward ? kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazard as the 2nd striker. Loftus Cheek as the striker. Conte is going all Guardiola on us. Only a matter of time before he permanently turns Mikel into a CB.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The Belgium international endured a torrid 2015-16 season as Chelsea finished 10th in the Premier League, but his brother insists he still believes he can win the individual award http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/24102/icc-2016/2016/07/31/26115882/- We all know our Efen has always had an ego which alot of talented people do. But hes never had that self belief to take himself to another level. We have been waiting for him to get some self belief Itrs about time!

It will be such a massive loss, bigger than Pogba's departure from Juventus. I don't feel like we'll be able to replace him because our transfer record is so mediocre plus once every club knows we're getting big money for him they'll jack up prices for our replacement targets. Pogba basically netted Juventus a 29 year old Higuain and Pjanic.   How is it mediocre? Considering the competitive state of the market these days, we have pulled off some great deals in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 If someone like Dybala or Griezmann or Fekir can play second striker why EH can't play there ? I think he would be brilliant there. We're Eden Hazard FC guys. And looking like wingers play in Conte system, I don't know why we should shut him on the wing. kellzfresh, Blue-in-me-Veins and mccg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah worth ago,best to have him up at that area doing damage causing havoc , have Kennedy on the left using his youth n energy running up and down,hopefully with wc lb to dovetail left hand side.

I agree with playing hazard has a second striker and it will give him more freedom on the pitch instead of tracking back to help the left back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Three years have gone by and to this day he is still carrying our team. I just can't imagine how good he would be if he had players who could actually play Football around him. We were already exposed last season with him not being his usual self but we will be even more when he leaves. I just pray that by that time we've got enough quality in the team and not the deadwood we currently have.

Parky 739 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Seriously he is such a fantastic footballer. Such skill, vision, pace and strength to draw in and beat players. I really feel if Conte can mould the team around Hazard this season we will do very well.  Unionjack and Coop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
