Eden Hazard

[robsblubot 3,502]

he was pretty bad today (Bournemouth)... no excuses for not passing the ball to someone open and then losing possession over and over again.

At some point he should be smart enough to mix things up a bit.

We can blame the lack of options and strategy on the manager, but some individual performances have been simply unacceptable.

Still low on confidence...players like him and Willian are the ones we are relying on up front atm, and their decision making is too slow to genuinely pose a threat to a well drilled defense. Willian was always slow in his decision making, but Hazard is playing well below his normal level.

He's a baby compared to alphas like Neymar. I think he's angry about the Eva incident

Biggest thing we have to do, summer 2016, keep Hazard at the club.

[Jase 43,479]

He will get his first goal of the season today. I know it!

Cheers for jinxing it...

Well if Hazard continues his run we are at least safe from bids. Not even Real would bid a 100m for a winger with only a handful goals/assits. The worse the players play the longer they will be stuck with this miserable team.

That is where you are wrong. Teams are not stupid to think Hazard has gone poor overnight. Top teams will take him calmly because he is a world class player and still very young. He is not playing good but there are other teams who would take him at a heartbeat because he would be quality in their team. Epsecially for a team that actually plays football.

That is true but you gotta wonder if Hazard has that killer mentality and the stomach to elevate himself to the next level. It's not just about whether he plays in an offensive/defensive minded side.

So lets agree to disagree. Sure Hazard is class but he is not a 100m player and every club knows that. He may not have become poor overnight but he has stagnated for months now and further players have overtaken him. U don't pay 100m just because he is Hazard, u pay 100m for a player with the ability and mentality to shine through even in teams that "don't play football". he would improve a lot of top teams but of those only a few can afford him. He still has 4.5 years on his contract, we can keep hold of him if we want to. If he was that good, he would win us games and elevate us above the relegation zone on his own no matter how shit the team is. Back in 2011 we played shit football too, but we got individuals who prevented us from the total collapse so we till grabbed a top 4 finish comfortable. Hazard for all his skill and talent is not remotedly as efficient which is why I would honestly ponder what to take the money or Hazard. Given the situation this club is in, we don't need a Ferrari when driving on the country road. Rather take the money and pay the toll for the highway first.

As things stand now, Neymar is the player Hazard dreams to be.

If we weren't in such a rut this season I think it wouldn't be ridiculous to say that Hazard would be a real contender for the top 3 in balon d'or. I still think he has it in him to compete with Neymar though. Just disappointed by him this season, that's not saying too much as the whole team has been playing like cow dung.

I benched Mahrez and captained him over the weekend in fantasy football. Never again...

Rookie mistake

You should stay clear of Chelsea players. Not going to get you many points until the day we decide to stop being shit.

I just knew he would score big after showing well against spurs lol.

It was so easy last year.

By captaining Costa early on I had such a massive lead after a few weeks I coasted pretty much the rest of the season. Even Azplicueta isn't getting me points now

[LAM09 6,744]

His scoring duck has got to end at some point. I hope it's tomorrow

Great analysis about Hazard's efficiency this season.

Shame he did not score tonight but along with Willian and Matic, he was our best player. Still got an assist and was the main provider for the first goal tbh. Great performance.
