I wouldn't mind using Eden as a fake 9 against teams that park the bus but it's not something we should regularly try.

Outside of Messi and Totti it hardly ever works.

What is a fake 9? :Goober:

Seriously though, with Mourinho around, trying things out like a 'False 9' should be out of the question. We know he won't or doesn't deploy such approach.

Totti is another one

True but he never played in that role for a multiple years in a row. 1 season under Spaletti when they played the famous '4-6-0 formation' and in the current season. I'm a huge Totti fan but he does rely on his incredible technique and vision. And that's why I doubt he'd be able to perform to the required level, which would mean performing consistently himself without the team suffering in the process a whole, if Roma had to combine domestic and European football.

Anyway back to Hazard. It will be hard in this particular match but it would be great if he could deliver a top performance on the biggest stage. He definitely has the ability so it's all up to him.

Zola was incredible but he's half the player this lad is. He has the potential to be the best player in the World and he knows it.

Completely took the piss tonight only thing missing was a goal. He'll finally get the praise he deserves after that fucking performance and with more responiblity and expectations placed on his shoulders, I think he'll eventually develop that selfish streak he lacks.

The move where he stood stationary, did a couple of body feints and back-heeled to Willian, the dribble where he went past 3 players and nutmegged the ref, outmuscling Demichelis and then serving the ball on the platter for Ramires or where he ghosted past Zabaleta like he wasn't there and Eto'o hit the post.

He did it all tonight. I think he'll be our best ever player if Madrid don't come calling.

He had 11 successful dribbles against the best defense in the League; was fouled 4 other times - I though he shook up City's self belief in winning this match.
If Silva or Yaya had a match like that we would be the one's who lost but while Jose was able to isolate Silva and Yaya - Hazard ran rampant and there was very little that City could do to stop him

My MOTM tonight - just bloody brilliant player with his ball at his feet
