Better, much better.

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

Thought he played very well in the second half after a decent first half.

Maybe I expect too much from him. His second half was definitely better but still not to his (or mine?) standards.

True, but it kind of felt like a turn around. He really should pick up on confidence and getting assists and goals is the only way.

I said he played very well though. Not great, excellent or exceptional.

Think calling his performance over 90 min mehh is harsh. Willian was mehh for me.

Can't get over the fact that he's so slow though.

Hazard Is Back?

[kellzfresh 7,229]

His dribbling isn't back yet, but his passing and vision is back. Happy he had the confidence to even take a freekick. Two assists and a goal is always a good performance. 

[Tautvix 1,321]

He played a good game but it was City u21... You don't play teams like this every week.

I thought he was back after Mk Dons game.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

His performance was great he's just noticeably slower now. He keeps fucking up simple 2v1's this season. That pass to Oscar at the death was atrocious.

He's going for more tough things...

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

He was definitely better, I'm still waiting for him to take guys on and use his skill to create opportunities. Until he does that against a good opponent I'm not willing to give him more than a good performance.

The FK was pretty nice!

Maybe he's suddenly afraid of getting tackled? He has received plenty of rough tackles from the opposition players and the refs have done nothing to protect him whatsoever. The rough treatments appeared to have taken its toll this time around since he was injured for quite some time.

This is a very good point.

Really weird If thats the case. High skilled players usually receives rough tackles, If he is afraid, then thats a problem. Refs are not there to project specific players, so If he is afraid that speaks loud about his character, and considering the is yet to make a great game in a UCL knockout stage, you migh be right, perhaps he is a player that just doens't have the right character to be one of the best.

Game after game for me its pretty clear Hazard's mind is elsewhere. At the moment I Can't see him as a Chelsea playe next season. I think he lost his desire to be a Chelsea player due to Mourinho's tactics. Just remember at the end of 2013/14 season he said he was usually asked to things by himself, and suggested the team should play a more attacking football, no to mention that from time to time Mourinho criticized him for not being superb at the defense. Perhaps the new manager can change his mind, but Chelsea is really facing a uncertain future, and as he suggested days ago, he is seeking Champions League football. 

PSG is losing Ibra for next season, and they will look for a new star. For me its almost certinha Hazard will playing in France in August.

If Real doesn't come this summer for him he'll stay. He doesn't care about going to PSG at all.

One decent game and the English newspapers change their opinion almost completely.
What a mockery.
