how good will this guy be in his prime years?,its a scary tought .

Yesterday he played like a boss, he was everywhere on the pitch, claiming the ball and pushed the team forward.

Like JT said in his post game intervieuw, he's already up there with the very best in the world but you feel he still can get better, we didnt see the end of this amazing player yet, not even close.

He is only behind Messi, Ronaldo is overrated.

He is only behind Messi, Ronaldo is overrated.

Ronaldo just got a hatrick in the firsthalf now, his goalscoring prowess will always keep him above hazard.

Hazards assists, dribbling, passing, is far better though.

Hazard is a confirmed top 7 world-class player now..

Robben is better than him

[Polo7 3,496]

Robben is better than him

Do you remember Robben when he was Hazards age? Impact sub at best. Hazard has a much much higher ceiling than Robben.

[sutro 1,026]

Robben is better than him

right now? perhaps, not even sure that Robben is better.

in 2/3 years when Eden hits his best years he will be twice the player Robben ever was.

He could easily double his scoring stats if we had an elite midfield and another playmaker out wide. Unfortunately we don't so he's the usually the one starting the attacks, dictating the tempo and keeping possession.

Impact sub? Hazard is 24, Robben was playing for Real Madrid at 24.

Hazard is a better player than Robben was at 24, that's true. Robben did extremely well to improve so much at a 'late' age. Once he broke his fragility at Bayern, he was reborn.

[hamad138 190]

Maybe u are true but robben was injury prone to hell. I wonder what he would have achived here if he hadnt been injured all the time and would have unleashed his potential earlier

Wow stop going too far guys, Hazard is good but he isn't as good as Robben...etc YET. Maybe at his age Hazard is better than Robben at similar age but atm it is clear who is the better player. In fact Hazard is just around the level of Reus, Neymar, Di Maria last season, James, Isco, Ribery, Sanchez, Bale...etc. He is not even CLOSE to being the best player behind Messi and Ron.

To start off lets try to get into world 11 st OK. No need to put lot of pressure on him.

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard insists his side 'have title in our hands' following Stoke win

Eden Hazard believes Chelsea have the Premier League title in their grasp.

Hazard scored a penalty and set up Loic Remy's winner - either side of Charlie Adam's 65-yard strike - in Saturday's 2-1 win over Stoke which saw the Blues take a seven-point lead at the top of the standings.

Jose Mourinho has targeted five wins and one draw in the remaining eight games and Hazard is optimistic Chelsea will win a first Premier League title in five years.

Hazard told Chelsea TV: 'We are confident. We are first in the league and we take game after game. We have the title in our hands. We want to bring the trophy to Stamford Bridge.'

Hazard felt Chelsea's win could have been more convincing.

'In the first half we created a lot of chances,' he added.

'We played beautiful football and OK, we scored just one goal, but we deserved to score three or four.

'The most important thing was the victory and we did very well till the end.'

Remy's strike came after Diego Costa had come on as a half-time substitute before going off with a recurrence of his hamstring problem 11 minutes later.

Hazard has backed Remy, who could be given an extended run in Costa's anticipated absence, to keep on scoring after the France striker's second winner in successive games.

'He can score every time when he's on the pitch. This guy deserves to score a lot of goals,' Hazard said.

The Belgium playmaker dazzled at times against Stoke, but the game's highlight was Adam's audacious lob of Thibaut Courtois from well inside his own half.

Chelsea felt aggrieved Hazard had not been awarded a foul before Adam drilled the ball into the home net.

In hindsight, and with victory secured, Hazard joked he was happy referee Jonathan Moss had not blown his whistle as, had a foul been given, Adam's goal would never have happened.

'I was on the floor. I didn't see the goal,' Hazard said.

'I'm happy the referee didn't whistle because the goal was fantastic.'

He is even happy the referee didn't blow the whistle for a foul before Adam's goal

Get back to your position, Courtois

Being a huge fan of Hazard, I have to agree with this.

Football is a very complicated game, even if constantly being falsely simplified by our dumb medias. Which leads our simple minds to sum up players to their easiest things to understand : number of goals and assists.

Forgetting so many things (mainly that football is a collective sport and can be played, as a team, in very different manners and there's no consensus over one particularly better manner), our dumb brains still want to hierarchize, individualize and say who's better than the other.

Whereas the plain truth is that it is impossible to claim categorically that Hazard is better than Sanchez or Bale or Neymar. It depends so much on the players they would play with, and the kind of football the team plays. In Barcelona, Hazard would fit right in and I actually think he would be better than Neymar. In a counter-attacking team, i'd rather have Bale than Hazard.

It depends on what criteria you favor for a player, which depends on the way you'd ideally want to play football. Claiming that someone is better is an ideological statement, and it always will be.

There's just Messi as obvious number 1, because it's so blatant that he is above everybody else in almost every aspect of the game.

Then you got Ronaldo which is a very complete player with outrageous stats.

After that, you can decide any hierarchy you want between Hazard, Robben, Neymar, Bale, Suarez, Aguero, Reus, Silva... Each hierarchy would have solid arguments depending on what characteristics you value the most.

This season, he's arguably the 3rd best player in the world and definitely in the top 5 in the world.

Of that top 5, he is the youngest and the one that plays in the hardest league and plays for the weakest team. Also the most conservative one.
