Eden Hazard

[DYC. 7,542]

This is why we need reus on the right wing to improve. Us hoping on willian /schurlle to come good is beginning to look naive.

The distance between Hazard and them are like messi and kalou

I do dream of Reus, but I have a feeling it's not going to happen. And quality wingers are scarce.

You know who I would love? Muller. Never happening but that would be amazing.

The fact that Hazard completed so many dribbles today also highlights the terrible positions he was receiving the ball.

Mourinho must see that he missed a few chances, I'm sure they will spend extra time on this, you can learn haw to finish chances. I'm sure he will make that next step.

Haha, I remember when we first signed him and after a few months in I said that he really needs to work on his finishing and the '20 goals in Ligue 1 suggests different' talk came up. Glad people are starting to see that now it is something he has to explicitly work on.

3 main things Eden needs to continue to work on and he'll legitimately move up a level and be universally considered as one of the best players out there (or best in the BPL at least):

1. Finishing
2. Killer instinct
3. Off the ball movement

The latter two are developing along nicely - no longer does Hazard sit around and wait for things to happen, he actually is finally using his ability to force results which is good to see. Off the ball movement has improved as well; even though he still has some work to do. His finishing however has actually seemed to regress. It's weird. He has the technique and everything, he knows how to dispatch a ball into the bottom corner, top corner, volleys etc. but it seems to be a confidence thing/mental block whenever he does seem to get in front of goal.

If Eden works on those three points and gets them to a high level (as said before the latter two are definitely evidently improving)... Boy are we in for a treat.

Muller or Reus would be an absolute dream on that right hand side (especially the latter). We must do everything in our power to try and get Reus this summer, hopefully Mourinho and the board are looking into it.

As much as Hazard has been amazing for us, I'm starting to take issues with his low, non-powerful and placement shots. Getting annoyed by it and he's making it easy as well as predictable for goalkeepers to save his shots. That probably also includes his penalties. It's all good when the goalkeepers move early enough for him to put the ball the other way but on the other hand, his propensity to do that will only make it easy for GKs to save them when they wise up to his penalty taking style. The penalty against Maribor earlier is arguably an example of that.

Remember Lampard in 09/10? Just 6 goals in his first 28 games and that ended up being his highest scoring season in his career (27 goals). Lets hope for something similar with Eden.

Well, think that will only happen if Hazard improves his finishing. The situation you mentioned above was more of Lampard starting the season slowly in regards to his form, as opposed to having dodgy finishing.

Remember when Schurrle was incredibly decisive and scored 3 goals at the world cup?

People forget quickly. Players have ups and downs.

Muller would actually be an extraordinary signing (although that sounds cheesy haha), love how he plays, hes not a glamourous footballer who beats people for fun like Hazard or plays brilliant passes like Cesc but hes effective, a grafter, can play different positions and the one thing that impresses me the most is how he sees the game and finds space where others wouldn't. I can't believe he turned us down after the 2010 World Cup, he would of been a great signing. Pity hes probably gonna be at Bayern for most of his career.

[iseah100 5,612]

Would Mueller be far fetched? With Gotze, Lewa, Shaqiri, Robben and if they get Reus? That'd open some options for us.

[Chelsea? 892]

maybe thats why he doesnt play close to goal, or in the middle. Oscar is a much better finisher

I just don't see how their level is good enough to make even arsenal team of Sanchez ozil wallcot. Attacking wise they are on the same level as tottenhams chadli

[ChelseaFC12 134]

Well he just doesn't shoot or take the chances he creates for himself. If doesn't shoot more I doubt he's going to be scoring goals any time soon. He's just scored I think 1-2 goals this season from open play. That's sad.

I remember Lampard couldn't finish his dinner in the first half of that season, that was the time period he was chasing Jimmy Greaves goal record. I remember he missed a crucial pen against City at the Etihad too.
