Superblue 6,372 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 4 hours ago, Robchels said: Yeah come on... He hasn’t signed a new deal and wants out... what’s a club to do? Move on and move on already... I wasn’t as much of a fan as others around here, now I’m kinda really sick of him. Hate his demeanor, on and off the pitch. answering your second point, like many of his fans like to say, the club has been incapable of adding quality around hazard, which essentially proves, to me at least, that having such a player may be detrimental to the squad. as in, the squad would benefit more from 2 additional good players instead of hazard. The ban is unfortunate obviously, but hope it can be lifted at least for this window. I've said a number of times that I think there will be an initial struggle losing Hazard, but I do think in the longer term outlook the club can recover and be potentially better off. At the moment we are so reliant on Hazard it's embarrassing and having such a reliance on one top player is not healthy. Sarri's Napoli was a team without any real stars (Hamsik and Higuain were the biggest and I don't think neither were considered near an elite level), and the team worked as one. I think Sarri has struggled this season having to adopt his tactics which require the team to operate together as a well oiled machine to players such as Hazard and Willian who are more 'individuals'. Hazard is given a free reign in the team and not expected to track back much which doesn't help with the defensive phase of the team as a unit, resulting in some of the bigger matches him being shoehorned centrally so we can ensure we're more solid defensively. The pace of play and "pass and move" cycles that Napoli showed under Sarri haven't developed here currently. I do think in recent weeks our playing out the back has shown signs of improvement, and that has also coincided with an upturn in Jorginho's form and the continued development of RLC who seems to be a willing runner in the midfield alongside Kante. However the whole thing dies further up the field. It's hard to knock Hazard, when he has produced so many moments of magic and is such a huge source of goals and assists for us but there is no doubt that him and Willian at times slow down the play or will hold on to the ball longer than I think Sarri would prefer. The biggest problem next season with the ban in my opinion is not replacing Hazard on the wing, but not being able to buy a top striker to lead the line.

Pizy 19,377 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 If I was confident the club would reinvest the Hazard money in a player capable of becoming world class I'd actually be pretty excited to see what the post-Hazard era is like. But knowing our club they'll be thinking Pulisic is the Hazard replacement and that Willian & Pedro are enough. kellzfresh, Laylabelle and Atomiswave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulisic will replace Eden, Willian/Pedro for the right side, and Sarri will use Barkley as an emergency LW backup like he did a couple of times this season.

Popular Post! BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 10, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted May 10, 2019 The appreciation, or the lack of it for Hazard on this thread just because fans are butthurt that he might leave (when he has all the right because the club did nothing to get back on top) is laughable. One might think this is Real Madrid fans page with their zero respect for the players. If you want to be pissed, be pissed at our board. Hazard is the best player in the PL for years now and we are on decline for years now. He did amazing stuff for this club, something every Chelsea fan should deeply appreciate and respect. manpe, Blue Armour, Bosnian Blue and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,754 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 That's it. Players move on. Unless it's about the money find it hard to hold a grudge against them. Just hope that he can end on a high rather then a wimper. And that it goes better for him at Real then has Courtois. DYC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the love from our fans will change his mind though. I also think that even with Hazard and Pogba, Real Madrid will still not be good enough to beat clubs like Liverpool, Barcelona or City. Pogba will not change that much, Hazard and Jovic would improve them a lot, but they still lack in midfield and in the defensive positions. Furthermore, this project will also take some time. Our project will take as much time as Real Madrids project. I just hope that he will tell if he stays or not after the EL cup final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will do a Felipe Coutinho. He will leave PL because he thinks he is too good for his PL side, only to find himself booed and smashed by Spanish press and fans as soon as the first bad results appear. He is crazy to leave Chelsea right now to join Madrid. Its the worst moment for him to join them. If I was him I would run the contract with Chelsea and then sign for Barcelona for free. In Barcelona he will be a huge success, in Real Madrid he will be a flop. DDA, killer1257, Superblue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
