Tell me about it.. And he decided to leave BOTH commentary and music. Like, u wot m8? 

Every youtube compilation of any footballer is attached with the most shocking selections of dubstep/techno/hip-hop/ songs ever produced on planet Earth. Im convinced the creators of these videos have a silent agreement between eachother to make all of their viewers suffer for working hard on the compilation by choosing said music.  Madting. Sadting.

The fact that he starts the moves he ends up finishing says everything. He scores a lot of beauties as well so it's hard to remember all.

Many will tell you he disappears in big games though. Not now of course but if he doesn't perform well in a big game in the future I'm sure that claim will pop up.

The only one to regularly impact tough games along with Didier and Frankie in the Roman era. It's not even just games in which he scores or assists. He's produced plenty of performances in which he ran top opposition ragged and initiated most of Chelsea's attacks. I hope he stays for many more years and I can only hope he doesn't grow tired of getting hacked down on a weekly basis.

People even manage to criticise Messi. People just love to complain and criticise others. You have to perform at a high level every time you set foot on the pitch. If not, you'll be dubbed 'inconsistent'. It used to annoyme  in the past but nowadays it just makes me laugh.

This is the internet's fault. Ten years ago, most people would watch a dozen of games at best per season while only the few fortunates were able to see all the games (i.e. those who were going to game). And most importantly, those people who could watch only a few games per seasons were watching the best games : the Champions League, el Clasico, the Milan derby, etc... (or th internaitonal games that were still quality back then).

On the other hand, nowadays there are literally millions of people and their dogs that can see all the games of their team via streaming and that can rewatch them via download.

So while before you were only recalling the good things as it was a joy to watch games, now it has become a routine and "annoying" things are harder to dismiss...

I watched the game in some dudgy bar while I was on a shark fishing hol and I went completely bonkers after he went on his running goal. Couldn't believe that twat Coquelin throwing himself round like a demented stringless puppet.

Cant see his hilights uploaded here yet. Shite music so turn vol off!

Its not just from this video, but if you look at his reaction to Aguero's tackle on Luiz,  Chalobah seems to get along very well with the rest of his team-mates.

We need characters like that in the dressing room moving forward

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Does he even want to play today? His first half has been a disgrace.

[Tautvix 1,321]

Shocking performance from Hazard so far... It's like he does a moment of magic (vs Arsenal) and then he makes 5 shit performances, then does something impressive again. And it repeats.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

He needs to meet with Pedro to teach him the meaning of making runs without the ball. The only style of play he has is dribbling and making one two's, and once that isn't working, he has a terrible first half like he did again today. 

Off the ball runs will add unpredictability to his style and make him not disappear totally in large spells of the match.

He was making a lot of runs off the ball and has been doing that for 2 years now. I'm not sure what you're talking about my good friend. Also, he improved quite a lot in the 2nd half as expected when we started playing football. The problem is when we don't play football, Hazard struggles to touch the ball in dangerous areas and we struggle to play well away from home.

Hazard makes as much off the ball runs as Willian which I consider not enough for any attacking winger that has a desire to score. He mostly wants the ball to feet, it's easy to mark when his dribbling isn't working. 

The only off the ball runs I see from hazard is during a counterattack or a one two combination. Pedro does that every time and that's why he's scored more than hazard since he started against Leicester in October.

I completely disagree with you that Hazard's runs off the ball are comparable to Willian's. Willian rarely even does that. Hazard has been making a lot of runs off the ball that he could possibly do without occupying the same lanes Costa does. If anything, he' making TOO MANY runs off the ball.

Pedro and Hazard have scored the same amount of goals this season but Pedro has also started in the cup and is a known goal-scoring winger while Hazard's primary strength is not his goal-scoring. 

Anyway, i'm not going to argue the point since it's not something seriously worth discussing especially since Hazard's performance today isn't something worth discussing. Watch Hazard very closely from now on off the ball. We can't expect him to be our primary ball carrier then also make more runs than he needs to when we have Costa and Pedro for that.

You mean running behind the defense, right? I think this is causing the disagreement. Like the one Suarez does here

Exactly. Hazard runs to get the ball to feet,  trys to dribble or do a one two and run 9 times out of 10. That's why when you watch Chelsea games it seems hazard is the most man marked player in the world. 

That is completely false because he doesn't make enough off the ball runs to get away from markers like (Suarez, Ronaldo, Pedro, Schurrle, Bale, Neymar, 2013 robben) and a lot of other attacking players. 

When Hazard plays the striker role, he does it but RARELY on the wing.

And taking chances when they arise for that matter.

Honestly I'm not too concerned about his finishing or lack of shooting like I used to be. What I want him to improve is when he doesn't touch the ball for long periods of the game.  Only off the ball runs can help him with that. 

I've seen enough of him to realize that the excuses we made for him during the Mourinho days (defensive or parking the bus) is not the main reason he doesn't touch the ball for long periods. 

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

Look if you wanna criticize him for the poor passes then fair enough but blaming him for "not touching the ball for long periods of the game" is a bit ridiculous considering how awful we were on the ball. 

I mean that first half. I lost count of the amount of times we just hoofed the ball forward without any purpose. 

 

I really wish people would stop looking at individual performances in isolation. Team performance effects individual performance and vice versa.

If the team is playing shit on a stick football then that is going to have a negative effect on your 5ft 8 ball carrying attacking player. 

About the off the ball movement. 

Hazard and Costa were making plenty of runs, problem was that the passes they got were a lot of the time aimless, poor and coming from way too far making it easy to defend against. 

 

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

I'm worried about his lack of motivation when playing the lesser teams to be fair. He's always playing at his best against the big sides, but takes his foot off the pedal against the smaller teams. Think there is no pride in macking a mockery out of Arsenal's defence like he did two weeks ago if you are just a passenger against Burnley and Wolves. Needs to understand that if he is to step to the next level he must play a whole lot better against the lesser teams.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the player he is now by constantly destroying the tin pot teams, especially in Champions League. He might go missing in the latter stages of the competitions, but at least he makes fun of all them Swedish and Polish amateurs and his goalscoring record stays put. 

[mccg 1,528]

Yeah mediocre i described alot of his performances 2017(tho 2bf he has had a wee injury?) he was mostly horrible yesterday tbh 1st half most of the team were. Hope he gets his mojo back for the business end!
