Eden Hazard

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.'

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.

Double post, first time I've done that, lol. If a mod can remove one of them, I'll be pleased.

Should we worried about Real Madrid approach anytime soon then? I know Hazard most definitely will want to stay, but I don't know how much it will bothers him, if the real offer coming on the table.

Thought his performance yesterday was almost perfect.

Was lively throughout the game, direct and always looked to get a shot of in a good position. The only thing missing was his finishing.

Perticularly one of the chances were he cut in from the right and shot with his left. It should have been more in the corner and it would almost always be a goal. It is his weak foot, i know, but it would be great if he could learn to try and curl with it as well and try placing his shots more. It would make him truly two footed and he could be a danger from the left and the right.

It may sound critical from me but it's just because i truly expect him to be the world's best some time in the near future!!!

Is that the league were the 2nd and 3rd best teams lose 5-1 and 5-0 to Englands best. Bundesliga is a joke and Bayern are way to dominant. He's a tremendous player but I don't get the feeling watching him he's doing anything Hazard cannot do. He doesnt make his teammates better like Hazard does. If he was playing for this chelsea team in this league, he won't look as good. On the other hand, if Hazard was in Bayern he will be even more impressive.

A lad I was sat with today who happens to be a Middlesbrough fan was sat in the pub and yesterdays highlights came on, just as Eden was taking the penalty, and he said "This kid is close to being the best in the world"
