wow amazing intervieuw

[Weckerz 3,781]

But I'm sure you'll try to come up with a couple of clever lines.

Thanks.

I could but we'd be going in circles. You lost all credibility saying Advocaat had 90% of our current team at his disposal.

Avram Grant.

Sure!

My neighbor.

Well knowing Mourinho has been talking to his father and that he's said that to him, I'm more hopeful about Hazard staying here longer.

He doesn't seem to be motivated by ego or fame and that's basically what being at Madrid would give him over us. And a lot more exposition to his family - something that might be important to him to avoid.

Going to RM gives a player more visibility than any other club in the world (maybe tied with Barça), but it comes with a price. Perez is unpredictable, there's no managerial stability, they can be hot and cold. It's not all daisies and rainbows.

If his father is telling he's an amazing son, father and husband in the same breath he's saying Mourinho is the manager to make Hazard change enough to have more tenacity, ambition and mental aggression (something I've been begging him to have, so it's good to know his father thinks the same), but not too much, maybe senior Hazard will advise him to continue at Chelsea under Mourinho's tutelage. This interview has been very encouraging.

I took something entirely different about Mourinho talking with Eden's dad. Mainly getting in the psyche of Eden Hazard, searching for mental aspects he could improve in Eden. Namely "A killer instinct", he basicly say's the same about Willian but much more concrete, in that he wants him to average more shots each game (wich kinda worked against Aston Villa with him scoring and assisting a goal).

There's also a comparison with Duff and Robben: "You don’t see Duff dribbling without a shot. You don’t see Robben attack the space without getting a penalty or shooting. We have some guys still in the line between the artistic side and the objective side. We need to kill more matches.”

"This team is not there. We are more artistic, I believe. We have better control of the game by having the ball, and by knowing how to move between players – the circulation of the ball."

Duff and Robben where killing machines but they don't have the flair players like Hazard and Willian have. They are much more direct.

I'm not referring to what Mourinho said to papa Hazard, but what papa Hazard said back. If his father thinks Mourinho is the man to turn his son into someone more tenacious, ambitious and more aggressive mentally (the killer instinct you're talking about) is because he knows Hazard is far from being that person (imo) and he believes Mourinho being as tenacious, strong mentally and ambitious as he is, all while having a great relationship with his son, is the right person for the job, so I can see him staying longer than I initially thought.

Mourinho has been brilliant and I feel flattered to have been one to 'complain' about Hazard's lack of tenacity and ambition (and killer instinct) and Willian's lack of end product. Sometimes you criticize players hoping they'd improve in certain areas, not to simply badmouth them and ask them to be replaced by the flavor of the month. I feel backed up by Mourinho. Both of us could be wrong, but at least I'm aligned with our manager, so I can see the changes I want the team and the players to go through coming. That makes me happy - and a little bit cocky, hahahahahahahahaha.

robben was shit, duffer was a much better player, didn't down like he'd been shot when tapped on the ankle and a much better crosser and not a greedy fucker like the old man.

[Chelsea? 892]

That was the most amazing interview I've ever read. So personal and honest.

Lack of experience, tactical flexibility, and poor decision making.

"Lack of experience" is not a shortcoming in itself, it could be the cause of a shortcoming. Given the incredible run of results, there's no reason to assume that the lack of experience has lead to major shortcomings.

"Tactical flexibilty" although true is debatable as a shortcoming. For every person that says flexibility is important to deal with different kinds of opponents, there's another one who says it's important to always start from your own strengths and impose your own game. It's up to the opponent to adapt. In club team football I wouldn't prefer one opinion over the other, but in national team football, given the fact that the players only meet once every few months, one may argue (like Wilmots does) that it's more important to build routine than try to create tactical flexibility. In fact if you look at the major national football teams, you will actually notice that most of them stick to the same tactics and line-up. It's usually the smaller teams that chose to adapt to the tactics of their stronger opponent. If you take Holland as a recent example of a major national team that does adapt their tactics under Guud Hiddink, switching between 3-5-2 and 4-3-3, you can see that it's not a success. Van Gaal with exactly the same players & sticking stubbornly to the 3-5-2, in spite of all the Dutch critics begging to switch to 4-3-3 against weaker opponents, made it 3rd in the recent World Cup. So, like Wilmots tactics or hate them, I think it's wise to stick to them as much as possible. He has tried some different tactics in friendlies, like playing two strikers up front (Lukaku-Benteke against USA & Colombia) but he evaluated it negatively and stuck to the 4-2-3-1. Again, purely judging on the results, which is still the only objective way to evaluate a coach, that was a wise decision.

"Poor decision making" is purely a subjective judgement from your side. You're probably bored of me repeating this, but again based on the results one could more objectively argue that his decision making has not been that poor at all. Rather the contrary.

It's okay to throw the towel by now.

[ParNolio7 285]

You lost all credibility saying Advocaat had 90% of our current team at his disposal.

That's okay, you lost all credibility with every single comment you made on Wilmots.

[Weckerz 3,781]

That's okay, you lost all credibility with every single comment you made on Wilmots.

Whatever you say friend. You're too far up you're own ass to accept that there is a very large portion of fans that have the same views as I do. On this board in particular that would be the vast majority of members with an interest in our national team.

Now please stop whining about Wilmots, most people on here don't give a fuck.

Everyone wants Hazard to be the next cr7, when he is not that type of player...

Even though his stats are down, this hazard is better for chelsea and I'll take this year's hazard over last years.

His stats aren't actually that down. Last year by this time in October Eden had 3 goals and 1 assist in the PL. This year he has 2 goals and 1 assist in the PL. So as we see, there isn't much difference. It's just his stats seem down only compared to Diego and Cesc. Yeah, even Oscar's and Ramires's stats are a bit better than Eden's so far, but it says good things about their form this season rather than anything about Eden's form. Eden is on track.

People are complaining about hazard's performances...

FOr me, hazard is doing extremely well and even though he will always be defensively lacking, you cant really ask for anymore from him. Only thing hazard can improve on realistically is making runs without the ball..
