ParNolio7 285 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Going to see Hazard in action tomorrow in the Belgium vs Andorra match. Hope he'll score 15 goals just for the "statanatics" (stat fanatics) to get off his case for the rest of the season and look for another worldclass player to piss on.

Share Posted October 9, 2014 Think I might be the small majority, but I feel we won't get the best out of Hazard unless he is played centrally behind the striker. A true number 10. Some of his brilliance imo came from him whilst playing in the centre. Myself, Peppi85, Bir_CFC and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true number 10. Some of his brilliance imo came from him whilst playing in the centre. I'm with you on this. That penalty against arsenal was created from his dribbling from the center, the Schurrle goal against Burnley was also because of his dribbling from the center. His ability to dribble through a swarm of bodies is his real talent and doing that will scatter the center of the opponent defense and disorganize them in the process making it easier to break any defense down. If he is double marked by the CMs, fabregas is free to pick passes. If he is double marked by the DM and a centerback, costa has only one CB on him and we know what happens. If he is marked by a fullback and DM, Willian/schurlle is free.Hazard will be the fulcrum of our attack, his mare presence will leave his teammates with so much space it'll be impossible to defend us. Would love to see 5 consecutive games with him there. Sidzeret and Coop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's class in the wings already but his real potential could be from the center IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his brilliance imo came from him whilst playing in the centre. Some of his brilliance also came from wide areas. Hazard has enough freedom to move centrally when he likes; he starts from the left but sees plenty of action in central areas. He is a devestating winger so why not keep that as part of his game along with his #10 qualities; it's that double threat that makes him such a unique talent. That kind of variety and balanced game is what seperates him from a lot of the players he's compared to.

A true number 10. Some of his brilliance imo came from him whilst playing in the centre. Ive been saying it since seeing him as a 16 year old: born to be central. He is awesome on the flank, but somehow fires up more centrally. He would need more exposure to back any statement on this issue, i guess. mediator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Von Doom 258 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 There isn't a more aesthetically pleasing sight in football than watching Hazard coming inside with the ball from the left hand side. Not one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of variety and balanced game is what seperates him from a lot of the players he's compared to.This^^. I think his old jersey number (17) suited him perfectly since he is both a creative (10) and a winger (7). I believe he should be on the wing since he is 2 footed and its difficult for defenders to make a decision when marking him. Allowing him to cut inside results in situations like the pen he won while showing him out allows him to beat the right back for pace like what happened against Coleman. Furthermore double marking him on the wing is not a feasible choice for opposition sides as well since that would open up space for Cesc and Costa. In short, I think playing him on the wing is the best choice for our system and there he can do the most damage. Our central AM is mostly there to provide the balance anyways.

A true number 10. Some of his brilliance imo came from him whilst playing in the centre. I've been saying this for years & I will keep saying it... He played in a free role in his last year @ Lille & his stats were incredible that year (20g, 20a if I remember correct) I've noticed that he's getting more in central positions recently.

El P. 1,354 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 We have no classic #10, so it's pointless to discuss about it - I prefer actually that Eden roams wherever he wants (starting from wing position), and other AMFs to adjust. iseah100, Barbara and zolayes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParNolio7 285 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 In general I think positions are overrated. If you have a team that's well organized and willing to fight for each other, attacking players should just be able to run wherever they think they can create most danger at that moment in the game.
