BLionheart 516 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Maybe its just me, but do you guys also see a differance in Hazard in the first games he played for Chelsea and now? It feels like he's not as hungry anymore. By that I mean hes not going forward and challenging as much as he used to. Rushing into the box etc.He has really quick feet and should use his technique more. He got us several penalties etc before, but now it feels he changed his playstyle some..Exactly , if you have noticed it started since the trio of maestros have started together , because now he has to get back and help defensively much more , he doesn't have the same energy as before when he was used just behind torres in the start of the season , also now i think he is instructed to pass more , dribble less based on the last 2 months.

Popular Post! BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 13, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted November 13, 2012 He is Ronaldo type of player, not Iniesta. He should be more selfish too. I think that Rdm should allow Hazard to dribble and shot like he did at Lille. Despite he can pass well, he is on different level than Mata and Oscar. They are truly playmakers, while Hazard is also great goalscorer and dribbler (Ronaldo-esque).I fear that Rdm is obsessed with equality in team (no one is more or less important) and that his orders are killing some talents here. He just never dealt with such high caliber talent and he doesnt know how to use it properly. He shouldnt defend so much, but stay in attack. Keep him more in attack and tell Rambo and Mikel to cover back and defend. Also Possession will be vital here and if Rdm cant teach this team how to have 60% of possession, then....

He's not as good a playmaker as Oscar or Mata but he has something that they don't. That ability to run at defenders with insane pace while having the ball glued to his feet. He just needs to use his dribbling skills more. I would like RDM to try Hazard as a false 9. He's got great link up play, he's also great at holding onto the ball when he's playing with his back towards the opponents goal and this would also give him the freedom to attack without having to constantly track back.I think with the right guidance Hazard could be a great false 9. Only his shooting ( don't get why he always tries to power kick it) and his movement inside the 16 yard box needs improving.With Torres not playing well and Sturridge not looking ready to lead the line, I think it would be worth a shot ? mediator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Possession will be vital here and if Rdm cant teach this team how to have 60% of possession, then....Seriously, what do people want from Hazard? If he doesn't do his defensive duties, people will then be complaining that he doesn't track back and leaves his FB exposed to 2 vs 1 situation. If you shift Mikel or Ramires across, then we will leave more space than before exposed in the middle(in our current 4-2-3-1 setup). If he is defending more, then people are complaining that he doesn't attack enough. I don't see much wrong with him tracking back. You play for the team, not just for yourself. Even Ronaldo at Madrid also help to track back and does his fair share of defensive work.And while I do agree with your point about Hazard should look to dribble more and get more shots away but to put the blame on RDM for curbing his attacking instincts is just plain silly. How can you come up with such conclusion? Hazard has said before that he plays for the team and he doesn't care about personal glory unless if the situation really calls for it, then he will try to win the game by himself. Adding to that, think some people are forgetting that this is Hazard's first season in English football and is still adapting to the changes from Ligue 1.Also, what's with the obsession about possession stats all of a sudden? People seem to have become nitpicking about it after the Liverpool game. Is it really important to have more possession than the opposition in every game?! You can't expect a team to dominate and have more possession than the opposition every time(unless you're Barcelona)! Furthermore with our current group players, we are nowhere near enough to become a possession based team yet. Can't just expect to dominate the ball every time with just the trio of Hazard-Oscar-Mata. We would also need a creative midfielder who is comfortable on the ball playing in the double pivot and it will take time for us to become a team that is comfortable on the ball.

I remember he was one of the first Belgians to have huge hype.Only Praet has real talent from your list, he is a young Mata-like and he is already one of the best (if not the best) player of Anderlecht at 18. May be Kylian Hazard too, he's got great skills but he is like kakuta. Great potential but lack of discipline (he could finish like vanden borre).There is also "Zacharia bakkali" the best u16, that seems more selfish than Sturridge. And we got already the last gem : Charly Mushonda Jr.Alderweireld is a CB and i don't rate him that high. He is a poor man vertonghen.

I remember he was one of the first Belgians to have huge hype.Most of them don't have the potential to play for a team like Chelsea.Only Praet and Thorgan have a shot.Dufour is playing for Porto but he's having a mixed time there sometimes he plays sometimes he doesn't.He's not that good he's not fast nor strong. He's not creative and his passing range is limited. His biggest strenght is his pitbull mentality. Chasing and pressing players.If you want more Belgian talents i suggest looking at the U16 Belgian team. Especially loved the goal at 1:31 (second video)Zakaria Bakkali, Andreas Pereira, Siebe Schrijvers, and of course Charly Musonda Junior have big potential. mediator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamiCFC9 258 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 It's all RDM's fault we should keep possession alot more and when we loose, we should press.We blame Hazard, Mata for not tracking back but, to do so they need to run like more then 50 yards every time we lose the ball, because the space between our attack and defensive is HUGE.We should obviously play with highline.All in all AVB had no idea what to do with last year's squad and now the same is happening with Robbie.

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I for one thought hazard was good against liverpool.Constantly beating players and passing well the only thing imo he lacks is that finishing touch but i believe with time his finishing will improve.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Those international friendly breaks are so unnecessary. Good to hear he won't play. Screw international football, nothing is more an instrument of the Fifa functionaries' glutton greed than all these friendly and qualifying games. International football has nothind to do with the competition of countries any more. Its only sake is for the corrupt Fifa/uefa system to survive and nurture its own abortions. AS if it wasn't clear who will qualify in most cases. There simply are too many games in football, this overload robbs special great games and tournaments off their particularity. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
