Sharp.

The man loves coming off the bench with a brace.

Only winger we have with a scoring instinct.

Eden struggled to score last season too. He was a lot worse than Pedro in even getting into goal scoring positions. I'm havent really taken much of last season as a season that defined any player's traits or abilities. We saw for Barcelona that Pedro has a good goal scoring instinct. I would say that he actually has a better goal scoring instinct than Eden. That's not a knock on Eden, just that they are different players.

Eden is first and foremost a dribbler, whereas Pedro's strength lie in his off the ball runs, hence why he gets himself in better goal scoring positions to begin with. If Eden could only grasp that aspect of Pedro's game and add it to his own he'd be much more of a threat as a goal scorer.

I personally think Pedro was able to do what he did because he was in that great Barca squad, but I don't see him getting anywhere near those levels here (if he stays). Hazard doesn't have a killer instinct IMO and prefers to slow the game or pass instead of shooting.

He needs to be more ruthless at times to be an even bigger asset.

Came on in the 64th minute on the LW. After 10 minutes he was played as a second striker behind Batshuayi.

Thought he did really well there. He scored 2 goals from that position. Also helped out with our build up by dropping off, providing an outlet for our defenders and midfielders while holding onto the ball to allow the rest of the team to get forward.

Already looking sharper then i expected him to be given he's only been in preseason for 4-5 days. So good signs.

Hazard speelde goed. Hij was begin van het seizoen vorm.

Conte : ‘Eden Hazard played 30 minutes and he is recovering a good shape. I like him in this position, like a forward, and he can be a good solution for us. Also playing as a winger.

To play as a second forward he must improve his shape but he is working and he knows his shape can a lot in the same way as the other players.’

So what are everyone's thoughts on Hazard playing as a second forward ?

Hazard as the 2nd striker. Loftus Cheek as the striker. Conte is going all Guardiola on us. Only a matter of time before he permanently turns Mikel into a CB.

The Belgium international endured a torrid 2015-16 season as Chelsea finished 10th in the Premier League, but his brother insists he still believes he can win the individual award

We all know our Efen has always had an ego which alot of talented people do. But hes never had that self belief to take himself to another level.

We have been waiting for him to get some self belief  Itrs about time!

If he has a great season he'll go to Real Madrid. It will be such a massive loss, bigger than Pogba's departure from Juventus. I don't feel like we'll be able to replace him because our transfer record is so mediocre plus once every club knows we're getting big money for him they'll jack up prices for our replacement targets. Pogba basically netted Juventus a 29 year old Higuain and Pjanic. 

 

 

How is it mediocre? Considering the competitive state of the market these days, we have pulled off some great deals in the last few years.
