🇧🇪 Eden Hazard

[NikkiCFC 8,320]

Strong performances from Vinicius and Rodrygo tonight. It's not going to be easy for him if he don't improve immediately. His transfer can arise from 100m to 150m so let's get some more money.

Fucking hell.....favorite colour is white now and he picks Madrid and not London, what kind of questions are those. They are milking it out.

Lol white is not even a colour.

And it surely is not Eden's favourite as it makes him look even more stocky^^

He has lost some kg though but yeah see what you mean. Blue will always remain his colour and one day when he is done will come to admit it again.

Looking forward to see what the future holds for CHO and not even thinking or caring what Hazard is doing.

Doesnt look like a £100m + player in Madrid. Fraud they say

Honest question: are we missing him right now?

Right now in RM he is just transporting the ball 5-10 meters and then pass backwards. Empty of confidence and burst of speed, something he used to have here. 

I dont miss him a bit and i hope he has a nightmare in Madrid.

I don't wish him any negativity at all. But watching our style of play this season, whilst he would obviously be a step up on Willian or Pedro right now, I don't think he is missed even half as much as we feared.

Marc Andre Ter Stegen has more assists than Eden Hazard this season.

He's only missed because he is a better finisher/dribbler than any of our wingers. But his style of play may have slowed down our tempo under Lamps

It depends, none of our winger are on his level, however we won't be contending for any serious title this season so it was a perfect time to move on from him, especially for 100m. But he could be a difference between getting or not the 4th place.

[NikkiCFC 8,320]

We lost him and our first strikers last season Morata/Higuain and everyone was concerned from where our goals will come. I remember discussion here in the summer and even Souness after United game said we don't have enough goals in our squad for top4. But as a team we play very good offensively and we don't miss him at all. And we can only improve from here expecially with Pulisic and CHO.

All those brutal tackles are adding up,

In a prefect situ, he would have been under contract for 3 more years and would have left NEXT summer, when he was 5 or so months away from turning 30, as I have serous doubts he does much beyond 30 years of age, 31 max. He has taking an absolute beating the last 10 or 11 seasons. That shit adds up. Look at yank football running backs (granted, much more vicious contact) whose average career in the NFL s  is under 3 years (2.57 years in the NFL!), and 95% who never have great seasons once they hit 29yo max (and those are rare) In the last 20 years, out of over 1000 rostered running backs, NINE have had 230 PPR plus seasons when they were over 29, none over 31yo (6 30 yo's, and 3 31 yo's)

Eden's style of play is the association football version of a running back.

As a fan of both footballs, I could not disagree more. And honestly, sounds like yet another excuse for eden to not be producing the goods as some here have predicted.

running-backs run into contention and do not really avoid contact, often thru the middle. Can’t think of a player who protects himself more than eden. And he mostly stays on the left avoiding contention. Just kick him good in the beginning of the game and he will vanish.

once again, I find it interesting that we don’t link his often mentioned lack of determination, on and off the pitch, to avoiding hard tackles and protecting himself. It is the same determination. The very thing that allows Ronaldo to compete against Messi and prevents, because he lacks that, eden from getting anywhere that level.

I never said that that was his only issue. He has always been streets behind Messi and CR7, he was never even in the same postal code. 

He will never posses their drive to win and excel. It is just part of his make-up. I still think he will go down as a top 10 to 15 overall player for the 2010's though.
