Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Ba and Luiz are gone. These were hazards fellow jokers/comedians in the team maybe Mourinho wants to forge hazards mentality or I'm I watching too much movies?

Mustafa 885 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Not too surprised he was top quality when he came on today. I've noticed this many times before. Whenever Eden comes off the bench to play the last 30 mins or so, he generally plays well and is a joy to watch because he plays with freedom and just takes on whoever is in his way. I think this is because he doesn't need to worry about preserving energy for the rest of the game or for the games to come. He just goes out there and has fun.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I always say that if Eden gets a bit of Robben's mentality (the right bits obviously) he'll be an absolute threat. Glad to see he's being more direct so far. sdrcfc, Blue Armour, kellzfresh and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hazard had a very good season last season but I just want to see more repeats of that Sunderland game last season where he simply takes over the game and goes solo. He was simply unstoppable that night. Probably is best ever performance in a Chelsea shirt. kellzfresh and sdrcfc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter was still devastating in his own way we played him as the No.10.Hazard is stronger, faster, has better work rate and defends better. The comparison is a poor one, even if we build the team around him. Also Mata is 100x more easily dispossessed than Hazard is. So there's no common ground to comparenow the funny part*something insanely funny happens during the match*Hazard mentally: 'imagine if we could understand each other'Hazard speaking: 'very funny, I legh hard'Costa mentally: 'we'd have so much fun. Can I say fuck off as an answer to this? It's the only thing I know how to say in English'Costa speaking: 'si, si, yes'Costa mentally: it was good while lasted. I want to say more things, but I don't know how, I'm growing shy, let me cover my mouth.Hazard mentally: He could replace David Luiz's as the joker, I just need to figure out how to understand what he says and make sure to never get in his bad side ChelseaFSee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's no common ground to compare Of course if you compare the two, playing Hazard as the No.10 and giving him a free role sounds like the sanest of ideas but you are still effectively doing the same thing by doing that - telling all the other 10 (or 9) players to do the dirty work and giving one a free role. On its own, think you know why Hazard hasn't been played much at all in the No.10 role under Mourinho and if he's going to trust Hazard and give him a free (or freer) role in the team, never mind the position he's playing in, then he needs to be more consistent and influential in matches first.

ParNolio7 285 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Don't think a free role is really necessary. Just play him as a left forward instead of a left winger. Subtle yet vital difference. I think Hazard would work best in 4-3-3 or 3-4-3. Maybe the latter even better because he'll have more midfielders in support.Don't really like him as a n°10 because in that position your most important quality is to be able to play, connect, switch really fast and for me Hazard is more about getting the ball, driving forward, skipping past a defender, etc. A lot more difficult to do that in a n° 10 position where he'll constantly have at least two defenders breathing down his neck. Coming from the side against just one defender he's always bound to get the better of the opponent.
