kellzfresh 7,229 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Are you seriously that passive or perhaps even ignorant to just trust the nomination list? Every year, all these awards throw up a list of players that is in contention to win it but there is always some that doesn't even deserve to be in there. Some are just in there for name sakes or for commercial interest. It's just like how Wenger, every year, seem to make it into the FIFA Coach of the Year shortlist when he hasn't even achieved anything!That argument still doesn't really justify Hazard's inclusion in that list. The fact that FIFA disregarded Mata, who if any Chelsea player deserves to be in there, it's him, and have Hazard in there tells its own story.Happy to see a Chelsea player aka Hazard in there but really, his performances and form over the past year doesn't really quality him to be there.They left out vidal, gotze, reus, and mata. I cant believe only one dortmund player entered Yaya toure, xavi and pirlo dont deserve to be there hazard had better seasons than them.So even if you bring in those people hazard is still a top 30 player no matter how we twist it. But he isnt supposed to be on the 23 man list though.At least he's getting some proper recognition, its time for him to step up and prove he can stay there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then though, think it's too easy to say Hazard should be in the top 30 when you look at the form over the past year of players. Maybe he would be in there. Maybe not. Right now, only all the obvious big name players are being mentioned (some regardless of form) but yet if you go through the major European leagues and I'm sure 30 players can be picked out based on their good-great performances for their respective teams this past year.

I think thats what got hazard in there, and left out injured gotze. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 This fifa list is ridiculous. Eden is a brilliant player, but sry, what did he do to merit a place in the top 23 players of the world. The only Chelsea players in there should be Mata, Luiz, Cech and maybe Ramires and Cole. Bu especially Mata had the best season of his career and was our most important player in 2013. How come Hazard has toppled him in that list? Also how on earth did Manuel Neuer get there? Weidenfeller outshone him by far this season. The rest is ok this season I guess. IMO Kompany, best defender in the EPL, should be there in place of Andrea Pirlo who is worldclass only once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Oooh the double standards...When last year FIFA announced their insulting starting eleven, people went nuts. Now that Hazard was nominated, he is automatically in the top 23!I see. After Uefa's starting 11 last year, I stopped taking any of that seriously.

If you look at performances, you might just get that because as I said, right now, people are only looking at the obvious big name players. Different story if you are looking at talent.

Different story if you are looking at talent.It'll be difficult to get the best players based on talent or short term form. I still don't think there are 30 better players than hazard, Let's agree to disagree then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Old video of Hazard. Not the best of quality but has some nice dribbles, nutmegs and flicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Unsure if Jose should start him tomorrow, against City he was average. Willian looked very very good against Arsenal as did Mata so I wouldn't be surprised if they both start or at least one of them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Driver 503 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 He was our only threat ,the other AM's were non existent ,Hazard and John Terry were the only two who can take anything out of the game ,did not see that performance coming it was gutless.

haranr 485 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 His only problem is that he nearly gets the ball. How can he perform well when he gets the ball from his teammates about 10 times a game. Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 One of our only threats going forward today. The amount of times he was stuck to the line, keeping it wide and NEVER got the fucking ball. Ow yes, then plz do whine when cuts inside to come and get it. Neither our Amc nor the pivot is reaching the flanks. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 A good performance today, but definitely should have scored that one in the 2nd half, in a game like that you just can't miss that kind of chance. Hope he will create a killer instinct that work 100% of the time. Blue Armour, Tomo and Hamilton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k d luiz 3 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 It seems to me that Hazard's problem is lack of football intelligence. He has all the tools but not the method to get the job done. Mata however is the opposite, with limited tools but high level of understanding of the game. Oscar seems to be more balanced out of the three hence is always in the starting 11. didierforever and The Chels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
