Eden Hazard

[bababoom 4,478]

People are not getting on his back because he's been awful, no, it's mainly because he looks so disinterested and downright lazy on the pitch. Whenever he lost the ball in the second half (and he lost it a lot) he hardly ran back to try and retrieve it, instead he strolled around the pitch waiting for the ball, thats not on.

No it's not.

Jese is a really good player IMO. 

He has the kind of close ball control on the ball that Willian and Hazard have. He's also always trying to beat his man, instead of just passing somewhere else. He's unlucky to be playing for Madrid, where the world stars will always come first 

[manpe 10,861]

I'm worried about the pressure surrounding him now. He hasn't really had this kind of attention and pressure before in his career, psychological factors are very real now. For some strange reason I feel for him (I know he earns in a week or two about the same I will earn my whole life), but I keep thinking myself in his situation taking into consideration his widely reported personality (if they are true, then we have similarities), then I find myself mentally depleted and needing an environment change. I wouldn't blame him if he feels like that, he doesn't owe us his loyalty. And I do think he tries his best, but the mindfucking difficulties he might be experiencing can and will inhibit his playing style, it's not exactly conscious when for some reason you have lost the confidence that made you a world beater not long ago.

Maybe we should make a bid in the summer

I think what we need is to sorted our next season manager first, rather than worried about Hazard's future.

You've got to be kidding me if you think that's the reason why Jose's name gets chanted? Because of Emenalo's interview? There were chants because we just let go of a CFC icon.

I said one of the reasons, not "the" reason.

Emenolo should have picked his words much more carefully. A lot of fans turned against him, some players and the board after that interview. It was one of the worst interviews a football club official has ever given.

Oh come off it. No one cares about Emenolo. Infact I doubt any fan who doesn't visit this site even knows who the man is.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Playing like a £10 million signing. Sort the attitude and effort out or fuck off. 

Dont have time for spoiled brats. I wouldn't mind if he was struggling but putting the effort on in the pitch. 

He needs to get his arse down the training ground early and stay late. Has the potential to be world class but he hasn't got there yet 

[Billy. 2,742]

Guy is meant to be world class right? at this moment in time he is league 2 standard at best. 

 

At the end of the day we need to face facts that he clearly dosent want to be here, could be for so many reasons, Dont like the club anymore, real or psg have turnt his head with silly money etc etc. 

 

When we singed him i never really saw the hype over him (Mainly because i never really saw him play). But when i saw him play for us i was like yeah this guy could be good. 

 

And sadly if he is to get to the standard that is expected of him he wont be getting to that level at Chelsea IMO Nor PSG. Can only see him doing this at Real 

 

Last thing for me with Hazard is that he dont have the right attitude to make it as a top top player, i can see him being on of them players that 'was meant to be'

if rumours are true and If simeone comes in hazard will be out the door in a heart beat simeone likes players who shows passion and wants to play for the club hazard not showing non of that at the moment 

If we get Simeone I want him to turn Hazard in to what he turned Arda Turan into, a great attacking player but one who understood his duties in pressing and defending. Arda Turan is the player Simeone trusted to man mark Ronaldo.

It has nothing to do with fans' perception of what is written in those interviews.

Professional footballers are public figures, and as such they are to confront the media. Giving an interview is an integral part of their job and is a real 'discipline', just like taking a free-kick or a penalty. They have to train themselves for it ; and if they do not, or feel that they are not good at it, then they have to restrain themselves to give interviews — just like a player restrains himself to take penalties when he is not good at it.

Every word they say is potentially harmful for themselves, their entourage and eventually for their employers and their club. If they are paid millions, it is not merely to kick the ball in the park like kids but to have a professional behaviour — and that professional behaviour includes to give interviews that won't be harmful for their employers.

As it has already been said, this is not the first time that Hazard gives an interview that creates bad noises around Chelsea. The first time around, okay you can forgive him because it is true that everyone can be caught off guard by journalists' slyness. However by now he should know better and he should be able to behave himself better in this practice. And if he cannot, then he should stop altogether to give interviews. Or, if he is not clever enough to see the problem, then the club should take the decision for him and forbid him to approach any journalist.

I wholeheartedly agree on media training. 

I also agree with what you have written, the only 'but' I have is that of 'actual intelligence' - now this might make me sound a bit of a dick, but with very few exceptions, the average footballer is not known for their cognitive prowess or varied vocabulary - they usually repeat the same 5 or 6 words over and over again in an interview  and use phrases out of context - the manager has installed confidence, no dickhead, it's 'instilled' confidence ??

im just not sure how bright Eden is and whether his general laissez faire (sp?) attitude sometimes creeps in when it shouldn't 

whatever the situation a 'smart' man would come out and clarify the situation, reassure the fans and give 100% on the pitch. 

Lets hope he picks up the mantle in the next few games, that could see us progress in the cup and the CL. 

[LAM09 7,050]

He just doesn't seem up to it. Not signs of him regaining last season form IMO

Nah I am not worried about hazard.

He has so many injuries this season, it will take time for him to get back on form.

I think people have to realize that Hazard is our best player, in order for us to start winning games consistently we need him to start playing better 

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

Is he coming back from vacation?  More and even better than this please.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Despite his goal and assists, his general performance was still very meh. I'll take that though. 

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

"we were already 4-1 up so it wasn't important" Fuck off.

[manpe 10,861]

He was involved in many dangerous plays, well done. My man of the match.
