Eden Hazard

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Averaging 4.7 shot per game atm. A stat I like to see.

His form is largely also because Conte is allowing him to play much higher on the pitch. He often is able to get 1 on 1 instead of the 2 or 3 on 1 he always used to encounter.

Lol, last 2 months of last season he was also on fire. The only thing that is true is that he got some rest during his injury and recovered from a period of 3 years of playing every game with no break in between.

And we'll get exposed against the better teams. He couldn't get the ball against Watford and we of course struggled until Cesc came on.

 

Like you've said he's playing higher up the pitch & isn't forced to track back like he was under Mourinho because of the switch to 433 but his movement is restricted in this system, he's no longer allowed to drift all over the pitch to find space. When it works like it did today & against West Ham it's beautiful, Watford is an example of it not working.

He was amazing yesterday, but as some have already pointed out, he was afforded A LOT more freedom yesterday than he has been probably since RDM.

In the few times Burnley did try to attack us, Eden actually let their right fullback to run past him (to be picked up by Matic or Kante) so that when we did win the ball back he was running at the CB. Happened in his goal and happened a few other times as well.

That's great to see, but I don't think we can afford to do this against better teams.

I missed him so much.

Classic Hazard goal. More of this please.

That's a sick goal. Running the full length of the pitch and basically passing it into the corner like that. Anyone who's played football will appreciate that goal even more.

Hazard is going to be scarier in the next couple of months. I have noticed he plays even better when the weather gets cooler.

Still think that in the absence of any other world-class talent, Eden's going to burnout sooner than we expect. That's a scary proposition within itself, the tone of the match with Burnley was pretty much set as soon as Hazard scored. As Barbara described in the Conte thread, Burnley were then stuck on whether to counter attack or sit back and messed up on both approaches LOL. 

In games where defences sit a lot tighter and don't concede early I don't know how we're going to expect Hazard to bail us out. Hope it doesn't happen, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Lol, Eden and Mourinho always got along well. He's not Cesc or Costa, that changed from disastrous players to excellent players in one week after Mou left.

[Adnane 1,101]

When in form he's top 3-5 in the world, no secret I guess... 

Stay in form now Eden, his willingness to shoot will also be rewarded. 

[Fernando 6,585]

I don't think he will get burned out this season since we play less games thus more time to rest. 

What I do like it's that he's taking shot from outside. Not many players do this now a days and taking shots from outside is a beautiful thing to see.
