Eden Hazard

[Jase 43,479]

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.

Missing a penalty happens from time to time. Hazard being a prime example at the moment. And I disagree that Lampard couldn't finish 'his dinner' in the first half of that season. He just didn't get as many goalscoring chances as he would have liked with Ancelotti playing him as the CAM in his diamond system, which doesn't suit him at all in general. When we went back to a 4-3-3, the goals started to flow in non-stop.

He is getting better and better, totally ran the show last night and his speed from a standing start is phenomenal.

He will have Liverpool's life on Saturday if he plays like that.

The most obvious change I see in him is the increased hunger ... I'm loving it

What a player he is becoming, I wish he had scored his chances against United and Maribor to mark off his amazing form recently. What I am really happy about is that he is getting in those areas, not only cutting through the left flank like last season but coming in from left, right or middle of the park and being right on the edge of the 18 yard box. These are almost the areas where Messi is playing, (whereas Ronaldo plays almost like a centre forward so I'm not going to compare Hazard to him), but my point is that these are the areas where you can score from and just take a look at Messi's goals yesterday, Hazard should have scored two for us as well. And this is what is still dividing the Belgian from the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, because his overall form is undoubtedly up there. He could and should score more goals and he needs to work on that aspect of the game if he really wants to fulfill his ambitions of which he likes to discuss in his interviews.

The one big difference from which Eden is suffering is the fact that the team doesn't quite play on him like Barcelona and Real play for Messi and Ronaldo respectively. I believe that will change with time and we can see slight signs of this. Yesterday everyone were looking for Hazard and he was all over the pitch.

Long story short - Hazard is becoming a more mature player IMO, a hungrier professional and he can and should score more. Time will tell if he can get up there with the best but I personally, with my optimistic type of nature, believe he can. He is already a world class and our best player (something many of us can agree about), not an easy achievement to accomplish when you are playing in a star packed team like ours. A goal vs. Liverpool on Saturday and I will shut up

It's his season. The goals will come for sure, hopefully they start coming at Anfield.

world's greatest dribbler!

One on one finishing, please!

I did like the fact that when he missed that Penalty he seemed to want to make up for it, every time he got the ball after that he was taking on 3-4 guys by himself.

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

Müller is not the kind of player to go after money or playing time. Müller might very well be the most loyal person in world football. He joined Bayern since he was old enough to play there (10 years). He married his wife, with whom he was together the day he legally could (his 18th birthday). Despite knowing he would once earn massive money as a professional footballer and despite having more lucrative offers from abroad he would always stay with his choices. That is just the way he is which is why signing Müller would be extremely far fetched.

Then Reus! Mueller would be a dream signing though.

absolutely would love the 2 as well, also as characters, especially Müller. Their passion for the game and attitude makes them perfect for this club. Also would complement Hazard quite well.

I like Eden's reactions too. I didn't like though was the penalty when he won it, greats kill but really he was 3-4 yards infront on the defender when he got the ball off the through ball, he had a great chance to keep running and shoot but decided to stop, probably because he was scared of missing, come on Eden step it up bro.

My reaction to people who try argue that Hazard isn't the best dribbler in the football world today.

He is still the only guy who can consistently produce a moment of quality to get us a goal when we are 1-0 down or being frustrated in a 0-0 game. When he get's that composure in front of goal ... :blue scalf:
