DDA 9,938 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I have to hold my hands up and take back what I said about Eden mid game yesterday. I was fuming that he didn't seem to press in the first half. I thought he was disinterested but now I do believe it was either Sarris instruction or his own idea to preserve his energy. Second half onwards he was electrifying. Top man. Johnnyeye, Hamilton and kellzfresh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see the difference in fatigue between aguero and Eden at the end it looked miles apart to me. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City were physically done by extra time. If we had abit more quality in the final third we could have won. Hamilton and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at the amount of touch and pass the Brazilian complied on this day it was considerably less than he regularly enjoyed.

KDB could have a shit game or not even play like he has for roughly most of the season and City would still be fine. In fact KDB has started in 5 PL games this season, and 2 of them were losses. He has been involved in 3 of out of 4 City league losses. Their record is astonishingly better without him. Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgium played two top teams in the World Cup: beat Brazil when kdb was motm then lost to france when hazard was Belgium better player. In my opinion kdb is the more influential player... heh not really that controversial outside of these forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why they lost... my point is that when kdb has a good game, his team is more likely to benefit from it than when hazard has a good game. It’s just, again imo, that kdb is able to influence the game more directly in his style of play. Pure dribblers can be contained by isolating them to areas of the pitch. They will still beat players routinely, esp competent ones like Eden, but their influence will be greatly diminished.

Kdb is more direct indeed and if he makes great passes, its likely his team will score from one, while Eden dribbles dont always result in goals. That said Hazard has been way more consistent for Belgium the last 3 years. Kdb had couple great games that helped Belgium win, but Hazard is performing well for them on regular basis. Kdb has fewer great performances, but when he does his team likely wins. Hazard is usualy best player in team. Overall, due to Hazard consistency he helps his team win more times, albeit at worse percentage (motm/win) ratio. Still thats the only thing that matters because he delivers on regular basis.

herzogian 148 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 When KDB has a great game, Belgium or city always wins. when hazard has a great game, Belgium or Chelsea might win. So you are saying that KDB only plays good when his team is winning? [emoji51] Honestly, I don't perceive a difference in how much both players influence their teams performance. Both KDB and Hazard are capable of winning the match for their team, it's what makes them special. Both KDB and Hazard have a tendency to fade away in some games (like any normal player would), it's what proves they are human. Only real differences are their style of play and of course the fact that KDB plays in a team with more quality on the pitch.

herzogian 148 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Nobody talking about his shit game yesterday? [emoji848] Why? He clearly was tired from the effort on Sunday. And yes he had a moderately shitty game... hence his substitution. Nough said me thinks, on to the next one.
