Eden Hazard

[Oscar 441]

They were.

So glad Eden scored away and scored such a needed goal. Pure class.

i guess people were complaining about his second half than?

[Hostedenis 556]

Eden reaches double digits and scored his tenth of the season today, at the half way mark. He might just reach 20 if he stays injury free, especially considering he usually performs better in the second half of the season. People on here complaining he should score more, but he's on track to maybe score 20 and we can't really ask more from an AM right?

Our best man today, again. Him and Fabregas were great today. Matic had a rare off-day, but I can easily forgive him.

Considering alternate premier league, this was a par 1 game and we got that one point. City played a par 3 game and drew!

Hate to be negative especially hazard but I was coming in here to post this. It's becoming an issue, the lad is magic, hes improved tons, but he needs to shoot instead of slowing play down and doing too much he even shows his frustration after and Gary nev said it in commentary, needs to shoot and score more to be in that world class bracket.

He IS class.

Did he really say that? I think it's sad that you can't just be an amazing player anymore and be regarded world class, without scoring 30-40 goals a season. This new generation of fans/pundits have developed a distorted view of the game where one has to be an absolute goal machine to even be considered one of the best.

It's not even like he doesn't score goals, if he continues like this (and gets a bit mor pens ) he'll have 20 goals which is not too shabby for a wide player to be fucking honest.

much better lately

7 PL goals and 7 PL assists is great halfway. But if he wants to win the Ballon D'Or, he needs 20 PL goals and 20 PL assists at the end of the season. It is ten times harder than in the PD, but if there is one player who can reach it, it is him.

In 3-4 years when Ronaldo and Messi only get around 20-30 goals each, maybe troollooloollolool

This guy being a prime example

[LAM09 6,744]

It's a delight to have him in our team.

The fact people genuinely judge a winger through goals is mind blowing.

Give it ten years fill backs will getting judged on goals.

Football has changed. He is being judged against the best winger in the world (CR7), and he is something else.

tbf Ronaldo been playing ST for majority of this season, Madrid play 442 now not 4231/433 as they used to do anymore.

That might be the case, but he scored 40 plus goals for Utd as a winger.

It looks so simple when he does it, but in reality, not one defender in the world can stop him.

My brother - who likes him, but as any Manure fan, think we overrate him - finally conceded today that it must be a nightmare for a defender when he comes face to face with Hazard (even with a backup, helping him). He's so hard to mark and defend against. He's so resourceful and skillful that one just can't guess what he's going to do. Mata, Willian, Schurrle and many other players we had, always do the same thing over and over, they cut inside, or beat opponents running, or stop a run before cutting. Hazard is completely unpredictable. You don't know what he's going to do next and that's just hell on earth for a marker imo. They must hate and feel hopeless and desperate when facing him.

He was so good today, he was unstoppable, but too bad only he and Cesc looked inspired. And he did what I said at the beginning of the season would be a must for him this season in his development curve. And today wasn't the first time. When things got thick he came to the rescue.

I don't give a fuck how many goals he scores and assists he provides. What I've always demanded from him was to shoot more (which he did), then I said we should give him time to find his best finishing again (he has very good finishing as showed lately, he was just in a run of low confidence) and mainly that he would step up when the team had a bad day, that he'd become our match winner when as a team we struggled. He's done it many times this season imo and today was the epitome of that.

We were lost, bad, toothless and he came and took matters into his hands and won us the away point. That's what I think a player as talented as him should do. Who cares about how many goals he scores and how many he assists if he's the guy bailing us out of the jail? I don't! I know he dreams of winning the Balon d'Or thing and I really hope he has a chance to have it at least once in his career, but I couldn't care less where he stands regarding Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Bale and whoever else people include in this bracket.

I look at this boy, and he's 24 next week and it seems like the sky is the limit. I just want the damn contract printed and signed and him to continue his development. He has taken HUGE steps in his development this season. I think the stupid award will once again be Ronaldo's (come on, the guy has been a scoring machine), but I think with the level Hazard has been playing he's by far the best player in the EPL (for me he finally passed Cesc, I was leaning a bit towards Cesc until a few days ago, but Hazard is just better, end of it - imo), and he's top3, at most top5 of the world right now and he's only 24.

We should appreciate and praise this kid much more than we do and stop demanding things from him. I'd say he's progressing faster than I expected and that's all that matters to me, that he keeps growing because then I know in a couple of years we'll be feared all over the world because of this guy.

He was unbelievable today and here's hoping he repeats what he does most seasons as far as I remember, and plays his best football starting January-February. He'll be the reason we'll win the league if he plays even better than he's been doing now (I'm not saying he needs to, I'm just saying if he goes by as he generally goes, and playing better in the second half, we're in for a huge and beautiful treat).

Goal or Assist in 8 of the last 10 games. Becoming more decisive.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Remarkable yesterday so much so a Saints fan on another forum saying he's the best player he has seen live.

Ronaldo hasn't been a real winger since 2006/2007. I'm surprised he is still called a winger.

Naaa he has been a winger until the 2nd half of last season, now he is basically a 2nd ST.

[DH1988 1,273]

Guys, its OK to constructively criticize.

Nobody wants him dropped.

Nobody is calling him bad.

Improved on last season.

Class above others.

Lacks decision making through games in the final third/box and it'll come
