Eden Hazard

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

It would help if he wasn't so overrated. The sooner he's gone the better.

GL at Madrid where the fans will eat you alive after ONE bad performance, lol.

Our best outfield player by a country mile. One wonders what he could achieve at a team that plays good football like City if he won Player of the Season with this team. Goes to show how good he really is.

Which one is it? :>

[Cosmin 2,484]

A few years ago, we had multiple leaders/international captains in the same team...now all we have is JT

Bunch of soldiers? We only have two soldiers playing consistently well! (Azpi & Willian)

True. Petr, Ashley Cole, Terry, Lamps, Essien, Drogba... Seems like a decade ago.

Hazard only damages himself and his image and his future if he thinks that acting like a twat will help him develop.

Which one is it? :>

The former. That comment was made referring to the one 'great' season he's had here. Last season I praised him more than just once, it's not like I'm trying to hide it.

[zakhov 253]

why does JT never give interviews now ,, He is still our Captain isn't he ?

JT gave a pre-match interview against Liverpool. Maybe it depends on which network you're on.

Like he did to Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuain, Di Maria, Ozil right? FYI, the first three played much better and scored much more than they ever did under attack minded Pellegrini or even Ancelotti to a great extent. Also, Mourinho's Ozil was much better than the present one.

Clearly, Ancelotti also turned Bale to Townsend last season.

Short Memories!

Wrong. Ronaldo,Benzema, and di maria best season came under ANCELOTTI. Surely blind mou fanboy can't see that..

From hero to zero in about 2 months.

Just remember form is temporary,class is permanent.

[bluephoenix 1,131]

Its amazing how we connect all the disjointed dots and try to give a shape. There has been no evidence that Hazard said that "he would rather lose than play for Mourinho"

Also why is Hazard being dragged down with the drop in form, every single player in the chelsea lineup are effing low on confidence and are as shitty as him(obviously barring a few)

I am more pissed about how Costa keeps getting into situations which gets him banned and no one seems to be bothered about that but rather chose to focus on Hazard. I think the club should hold a presser with Hazard, so that we clear the air. This way the fans and the media can get off his back( maybe then he will be under less pressure and stress)

phew as pointed in the article first time something has gone Chelsea way

Edit 1: In the remote possibility that if Hazard did say that I wonder if it had anything to do with the Eva incident were Hazard was an indirect victim, in hindsight he might have gotten the impression that Mourinho cares more about results than the players(then again this is crazy speculation from my side)

[Hamilton 2,120]

Got me thinking if Jt leaves in summer or gets realy limited role, who will be our new captn?

Cesc, Matic, Cahill, Eden etc all look realy laughable options. Azpi is only one worth of serious consideration.

Our squad looks so out of leaders and thinkers. Bunch of soldiers without any generals...

Thibaut maybe?

Just remember form is temporary,class is permanent.

And so is character.

[MCM4PR3Z 411]

I believe the report, why would the journalist made that up out of nowhere? Most likely a player has told this off the record indeed. But it also seems like a player has said this and that the same player also said that Hazard and Mou have big problems with each other. So it probably isn't Hazard himself if the story is true.

[MCM4PR3Z 411]

Thibaut maybe?

Courtois: "Organising the defense isn't my job, as a young newbie I can't tell John Terry how he has to run and where he needs to stand. JT leads the defense and I let him do it."

Understandable for sure, but if he was a true leader he would demand a big part of the leadership of the defense. I don't think he is a big leading figure, just enough to be a world class goalkeeper.

In simpler English,

1. I was saying Mourinho did not turn Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuain, Di Maria and Ozil to TOWNSEND kind of player because:

A. Ronaldo, Benzema, and Higuain all played better under Mourinho than they ever did under attacking minded Pellegrini,

B. Ronaldo, and Benzema, (because Higuain did not play for ANCELOTTI) also played much better and scored more, to SOME EXTENT, under Mourinho than they did under ANCELOTTI.

C. Ozil played much better under Mourinho than he's currently doing under another example of an attacking minded coach.

2. I also said that based on your assumptions, we could also say that Ancelotti also turned Bale into another Townsend last season.

3. I concluded that it all short memories, just like some fans calling Hazard an overrated player simply because their arguments just like yours is totally flawed and baseless.

Now, next time,before calling me or anyone a fan boy, which is not only disrespectful but also downright childish, you should at least come up with a better logical argument probably backed up with statistics too Or you could speak with someone with a better understanding of both the language and the game before posting utter garbage.

I was not even responding (or quoted) your post in the first place

That's passion!!!

Passion is linked to running around and fighting in the eyes of many fans. Even though the runners and physical players are simply playing football the only way they know how to. Not every player of that ilk is a passionate player imo.

Decisive skill is never branded with the tag passion for some reason, completely unfair. Messi for example is one of the most passionate players I and the world has ever seen.

so apparently he asked to be interviewed on Chelsea TV to clear a few things up...

The interview will be out this evening

Understandable for sure, but if he was a true leader he would demand a big part of the leadership of the defense. I don't think he is a big leading figure, just enough to be a world class goalkeeper.

I mentioned the same thing in the Courtois thread too.

But I disagree with your last sentence. He was given that freedom to organize the defense at Atletico Madrid, and what happened? They won the league and got to a UCL Final. Now, obviously that team has better defenders than us, but it shows that if we get capable defenders, or our current ones perform up to their best standard, Courtois can get the best out of them, by positioning them where he wants them to be.

It's more a manager thing also. JM would never allows Courtois to command JT, it just won't happen.

I have the belief that after JT leaves, Courtois will be given that role of organizing the defense to his liking.
