Blue Armour 4,439 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 His decision making was way off today...he needs to regain some focus, and go back to doing some of the simpler things he did when he first came here. Its the best thing for him to do against teams that sit back and try to triple man-mark him.I also wonder how he's handling the pressure of Mourinho's demand to see him transition from great talent to great player. The Bayern match shows he can more than cope with that, so I still have faith that he'll come back to his usual self before long. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The boy had a bad game. He's trying to do too much on his own.Still one of my favourite players and should start against Fulham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazardinho 88 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Give this man a free role so he only need to focus on attacking! That's how he ran the show at Lille! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Even Messi does not have a free role per se.The team needs to defend as a unit, so giving players a free role would leave even more gaps for the top sides to exploit.He's good enough to flourish as is, he just had a bad game.

Fulham Broadway 17,314 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 A lot on here are blaming Hazard's performances. Hazard is an attacker, he is not an attacking midfielder. He is being asked to help out the left back defensively. What a fucking waste of such a brilliant young talent. If he was at United he'd already be one of the world's most feared attackers. Do you think he would have to be helping Evra defend? No, of course not. Blue Armour, Tchekitchek, Stingray and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 At 1-0 he had a great chance when on his left side he decided to lean back instead of getting his body over the ball and hitting across the keeper.Poor performance for him, needs to pick it up.

No, of course not.I disagree, last year under Benitez, he was working quite a lot, asking the ball quite deep, but the big difference was the system.At the end, every player knew what they had to do, it didn't always worked but they could rely on a system.

Fulham Broadway 17,314 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 This system has been like a slow death for us. It hasn't worked since Robbie started using it. What is the point of playing a system that, with the full-backs we have been using, means we only have 4 attackers. It is a system that is easy to play against, 2 CB's take care of the 1 striker. The midfield gets flooded to slow the attacking midfielders. These midfielders then start playing too deep and have more players to get through.

Or Young?United's wingers have always been hard-working players (Beckham being the archetypal one) but they're by no means all successes. Hazard is starting his second season after an impressive first one where he's being asked to do a lot of new things. People need to be patient, much like United fans had to be with Ronaldo.

Fulham Broadway 17,314 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I dont think we need to be patient, he has already showed what he can do. Under the system he has to play too deep and with most opposition briefed beforehand to stick 3 players on him, he is getting little room for manoevre. Last night he would have had more success where Eto'o was out wide and the Cameroonian more central. In Jose we trust, just hope he knows what hes doing and is not Rafa in disguise The only place to be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tchekitchek 37 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 he has total freedom to do everything he wants, how come is Mourinho at fault when it's Hazard's decisions in the pitch that have been bad? The only thing José seems to have demanded from him is work-rate - which he improved incredibly on, but it seems like he - Eden - can't find a balance between doing well on both (attacking and defending). It has little or nothing to do with Mourinho, except the excess of confidence that Mourinho is giving to him now praising him all the time and never benching or subbing him.Misunderstanding there. I never implied it was Mourinho's fault? I said that he played badly under Mourinho, and I was worried that it might give Mourinho a wrong impression of Hazard's ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
