Surprised tbh. Thought he was immense and very involved more centrally in Conte's title winning season. But today it was visible that he had many touches, I immediately thought this must be the most he's had for us, and so it was. But I agree with the point stated above, he needs to pass quicker and not hold on to the ball so long like he did in 1st half (what we say about Willian a lot).

Yeah its something that Willian gets slated for a lot but Eden has done it in the games. Still think hes maybe getting used to how Sarri wants us to play. Pedro knows the score, he just gets it pops it off at the right time and moves, Eden needs to incorporate this into his game at times but think this will come, other than that good to see hes opened his account for the season, heres hoping he can get 20+ this year.

I think that we are getting bogged down in the middle of the pitch.

Both Eden and Kovacic are used to be the ball carriers but for a Sarri team to work proper it revolves around off the ball movements to release those third player runs. And its not as important for Eden to do his long dribbles. Its quicker to do a pass. Both Eden and Kovacic can do the same job but they are going to run into each other specially with Eden and his cutting into the center of the pitch.

But because we have been a continuous team that counter attacks and we have relied heavily on Edens dribbling to get past men but when we are having so much posession Edens got to change his game too He has to remember we aren’t a defensive team anymore and play on his left side like he did with Mou’s first half of the season’s 2014/2015.

I don't know about George, but I know Hazard is THE best...

Real Madrid have renewed their interest in Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling, Sky Sports News understands.

Interesting, if true...

[kellzfresh 7,229]

His refusal to shoot is slowing down the target I've set for him at 35 goals + assists this season. But even at that, he's already scored 2 goals and 2 assists in few games... 31 more to go

And the same amount of time Eden telling T'Boa how happy he is right now under Sarri!

HAZARD : We are playing good football

Eden Hazard enjoying life at Chelsea under Maurizio Sarri: 'It's so different to Antonio Conte or Jose Mourinho'

The whole interview on Chelsea TV below

'I like to have the ball. Not in my own half, but in the last 30 metres,' Hazard told Chelsea TV.

'I like this type of game. It's completely different than Antonio Conte or (Jose) Mourinho before. We have more ball so for me it's not bad.'

Hazard's contract expires in 2020 and the offer of an extension has not been taken up so far, but he is showing no signs of unhappiness.

Hazard was a substitute in Chelsea's first two matches of the season, but was instrumental in the win over Arsenal and then started and scored against Newcastle and the Cherries.

He understood his slow reintroduction to club football and appears happy just to wait and see on his long-term future.

Asked how he is, Hazard said: 'Good. You can see on the pitch. Let's see the future.'

I liked this part from him:

 

"At the moment we are okay, we are winning games, I think we are playing good football, so I enjoy. I want to keep this momentum. The bad thing is now we go to the national team, we want to just keep playing with Chelsea and win games!"

Hmmmm

Chelsea's Eden Hazard reveals what he told Marcos Alonso about his defending style

Speaking on the pitch after the final-whistle, Hazard said: "Sometimes, [he] is in front of me. I said to him once, 'Marcos, I think your first target is to defend, because you play left back', but this guy don't want to listen, he just wants to score goals."

"I like to have the ball. Not in my own half, but in the last 30 metres. I like this type of game, it's completely different from Antonio Conte or [Jose] Mourinho before. Like I say, we have more of the ball so for me it's not bad.''

Its people's comments like this that makes me want Hazard to get 35 goals + assists and prove them all wrong. Especially this season as he's finally playing under an attacking coach in Chelsea. 

So far, he's gotten a goal/assist in every game, so hopefully he keeps this going.

Even if Hazard scores/assists 35 this season you're still going to see crap like this tbh. Just a typical United fan. The fact he has Sanchez in there says enough.

Just ignore them and enjoy Hazard.

Eden OK??

Yeah while the rant may be irrelevant, there is always some truth in numbers. IMO ignoring stats and numbers would be as myopic as taking them at face value. 

Notice that the stats presented are mostly around UEFA, and I'd add tough matches.

Yes, Eden has had an excellent start of the season. However, I'm most interested in Eden's performances in tough (esp away) games where we need our star player to make a difference. Hope the new system will help him do just that.

55 mins in 0-3 Scotland - Belgium sub for Eden, 1 goal and 1 assist

[Unionjack 7,531]

Thorgan had a good game too didn't he? And at a complete loss as to why Bats went on loan. Has to be because he wasn't as expensive or had the 'potential' as Morata. Fingers crossed tho eh!

Edens cracking goal @ 3:20

Indeed Thorgan did very well, has some good form to start the season with.
