I'm a staunch Hazard supporter but yeah, he needs to have a huge comeback season.

He owes that to the fans after that many spiritless performances this season. I hope someone from the club will observe and control his eating habits over the summer. Can't be real that a professional player comes to every pre season with a big belly.

He is only 25.

No injury like that of Falcao.

I don't believe he will stay forever out of form.

Never seen that happening before with a player, going out just like that.

Β 

Maybe he really played too much, maybe he'll never be the same again

Euros coming up, the dude has to play and deliver the goods.

Two of the biggest fall from graces are us as champions and Hazard.

Matic has fall from grace as well he's been shocking this season from being one of the best midfielders in the PL till Mikel taking his placeΒ in the teamΒ

It's pointless to speculate what happened. It's definitely not a coincidence that all players suffered a big loss in performance levels (Willian being the only exception). Something caused it, it's not possible for us to know what, but for me the most likely explanation is a combination of things: short pre-season resulting bad fitness;Β season starting on a negative (Evagate);Β consecutive bad results snowballing and affecting confidence; possibly some of them disagreeing with Jose's methods.

I think these are the most likely explanations for their fall from grace. Hazard and Matic don't seem to have the mental strength to recover, while the likes of Fabregas and Costa have it and have recovered. These four were our most important players last season along with JT, so it's no surprise we were relegation fodder at one point. With ~half of them having recovered, we're now 10th - seems about right. We would still have neededΒ Hazard, Matic, JT, Ivanovic and OscarΒ to reach their true levels, but I'm afraid it hasn't happened, so we are where we deserve to be.

What we do know is that there has been a consistent injury (the hip). I do believe this is it. A guy like eden with a hip problem that affects mobility and speed? I hurt my hip and I have gone from (very low) national footie to pub level - now at 39 i can't even ride a bike because of the lack of motion.

Im older, a guy like Eden in his mid 20' with proper medical care should bounce right back. Im glad nobody plays him now (nt and CFC).

Lets get him up for next season, bring it on - he would be rearing to go after such a while.

Just get him a good preseason - mmm the NT- and we will see.

Let's just hope the Euros won't come for him at a bad time. We've seen players rush their comebacks to get ready for such tournaments at the sake of their long-term fitness.

Does it matter. Would he be played ahead of carrasco, kdb, origi, mertens or for that matter, thorgan? I dont give it a chance.

Of course he will. He's still one of their most talented players, in any normal case him going away with the international team would be good for him, but in a time of injury..

Listen I get why people are mad at Hazard for not performing this season, it's justified. But to suggest the talent isn't there and that he's already finished is a fallacy, one we shouldn't entertain.Β 

No one is denying his talent but there is something called FORM which should not be overlooked.Β 

Carrasco is a special talent too, as is KDb and both of them are right now at the top of their form. Kdb has comeback from his injury looking like a man-possessed.

Mertens is a good bench player and thorgan currently looks like another real talent. Why would a sane minded manager waste such talents on the bench/reserves so that an year long out of form, 2 goals scored "talent" can be handed starts. Hazard starting ahead of such players would be similar to rooney coming back from injury and getting starts ahead of Vardy/Kane. I would not just be pissed, I would probably want Hodgson's resignation at that moment.

It is a bit like this. He's seemed too untouchable, or perhaps too irreplaceable. I say that's the board's fault,Β though not his
