When costa was in great form in the first half of the season, winning us games single handedly(Westham, Watford, Swansea, mancity, westbrom etc), hazard didn't have much attention on him. But Costa has lost form since the China problem and hazard has had only 2 or 3 great games in 2017 as a result. Too much attention is on Hazard because costa isn't carrying attention from defenders like before. 

Hazard isn't a machine, so I don't expect his dribbling to be on in every single match. What he needs to do is add variety to his game, so that when the dribbles isn't working, he can contribute with movement off the ball like Pedro and getting in goalscoring positions and avoid not touching the ball for long periods in a match. 

Yes I agree but theres times that we need to look to our best players to step up and take the lead and theres been quite a few times lately where we cant do that with Eden or Diego.

Spot on. We are not helping him at all by having Alonso and Matic as the closest players to him and benching Fabregas. Good workhorses and defenders, below par attacking intelligence and/or technical ability to effectively combine with Eden. And as you said, this problem is all over the field. Expecting him to do everything alone is one-man-team a la Liverpool mentality. Hazard has proved he can win alone when conditions are right for him to perform like that, but with proper teammates it would be much more consistent and responsibility to create something more divided across the pitch. I expect this issue to be solved in the summer.

And this goes to a big reason why 2 of our our front 3 are left out of the game alot. We do seem to use the right side thru Moses to get the ball up front. Pedro goes outside of him taking a defender and theres ony 2 defenders in the box IF his cross gets thru

But as you say I would hope that the lack of any real creativity will be sorted.

The RM links just dont stop do they!

Eden got some fresh ink yesterday. The red rose from the badge. Is he showing his love for us or maybe its a going away reminder of us. I reckon its the 1st (and his tat artist reckons so too lol).but either way I hope it brings his swagger back

Wonderful peformance. This is kind of performance i expect from hazard. Not too much relax or laid back in mayority of the match. Today he tried a lot more than just one two and his movement and desire also really good.

Today he is really joyful to watch

Dribbled more, much better today. He didn't allow himself to not touch the ball for long periods. 

Just needs to shoot more to get back to his early season form

The problem I find with hazard he trys to walk the the ball into the net instead of shooting when he finds himself in a good shooting position

It can be incredibly frustrating especially considering his world class ability to always dribble his way into great positions. 

But I was happy with how he was more aggressive in the second half.

Was a lot better yesterday. One thing thats been annoying me about him is that he constantly tries little flicks to teammates that dont come off. 

Just be consistent Hazard and we will walk the league.

Terrifying prospect, but it seems inevitable now. The sad thing is that the Spanish and Italian teams will quote us 50-60m even for mediocre players  we'll always lose out by selling him.

More nonesense...

Report number 2,500, he has definitely leaving once a week, each time to different clubs. 

It's rubbish, stop falling for it.

Madrid prefer the 433. He would have no place in a 433 at Madrid

They'll take any big name on the market. Don't forget Perez is running the show.

Fantastic goal today. Was involved throughout the match and his quality showed. 

[Leif 6,006]

Finally he's matched the goal tally of rival winger Mane, who is 2 years younger, and was away for the AFCON. We're kidding ourselves if we say he's above and beyond the best in his position in the league. Most talented? Without doubt. Most effective? Nope. Joint-1st place with like 4 other players.

Still very glad to have him. But I won't rest until we see him with more realism than idealism.

To follow up on what Spike said.

Hazard has been fouled 75 times this season, Mane 47 times. 

Hazard created 54 chances, Mane 41.

Hazard has 120 successful take on's out of 153 attempts (  78% succes rate).

Mane has 61 successful out of 106 attempts ( 58% succes rate).

and yes Hazard played a whopping 2  games more then Mane.

High praise from Lampard.

Now if we could have that Eden more often please! He seems to go from one extreme to another. Going from missing in action to Captain Marvel. You could see by how he was from the start he was up for it last night. bouncing about on a high. What he needs to find is a way of turning that on more often. When hes doing his crafty flicks,runs and passes with his back you know all the other teams mumbling "cunt" under their breath.

When N'Golo intercepted that pass everyone around me was going bonkers knowing it was going to finish well. Hes a nippy little bugga aint he!

Best bits of his
