Eden Hazard

[jeronimo 130]

Are you all really arguing over two of our own players about who is better? They are both extremely talented in different ways. Just be happy that they both play for Chelsea.

I think saying his performance was 'just ok' is very, very wrong. He had a great start and a fantastic season ending. The intermediate period - 2 months + suspended time - he was on and off ok to good.

Saying he had a 'just ok' season is quite unintelligible, i think - especially in his first PL year.

Let's see this comparison with our finest - Mata. It clearly shows Hazards impact in his maiden year.

If you go further and compare the performances scores on Whoscored

Hazard: 7.31

Mata: 7.24

Oscar: 7.00

Lampard: 7.06

So ..... Hazard does have a huge, huge ceiling, which may tempt you to say he was just ok .... But i find it very harsh and unfounded.

I apologize if I offend you but I still stand by what I said. For a player as talented as hazard he need to produce more. He needs to be the best player on the pitch every game. I want him to produce more key moments especially in big games.

this is what happens when they stop pickin' sprouts and reading tintin...

Before saying that Mata is better than Hazard, lets wait until Mata shows up against good aggressive/physical sides.

lol, maybe you forget to realize Eden has never out performed Mata in any of our big games. Remember the Totenham game? or the united games? Just because Mata might struggle against more physical teams doesn't mean we should hold our praises for him. lets see Eden go a season without looking average for 1/2 of it

Guys could we maybe like not talk shit about our own players ?

This goes for both the Hazard- and Mata bashers. It's getting ridiculous.

I see people are still suffering from post-season hangovers...

Season can't start soon enough it seems. Don't care much for the who's better talk because it's ridiculous. It's nice to have so many options.

Lol!! No need for apology, mate :-) it is just debating.

I just feel you have crazy high standards. If you want him to be the best all the time creating key moments galore in his first EPL season being 21 at that time ....

Not even Messi, Ronaldo did that ... so I believe your benchmark for your claim he did just ok is way off.

Lol.Other Teams (United,Arsenal,etc.)would welcome a number 10 like Mata with open arms and some Chelsea Fans think he is sooo bad because he is slow,can´t skip past players and so on.One of Mata´s strenghts is vision,which he has shown often enough in the last two years at this club.Pace on the other hand isn´t a big criteria for a playmaker.

I've noticed it's usually a few Belgium posters that slag off players to prop up their compatriots.

It's not right to only credit that to the Belgium posters.

I've seen English, Spanish, Brazilian,Nigerian and other posters slag off players to prop their compatriots.

To be clear i completely disagree with the guy who started this Mata vs Hazard discussion but you shouldn't say that it's usually the Belgian posters that are starting this stuff.

That's why I said "a few" rather than tarring all the Belgians with the same brush.

and nigerians who keep promoting mikel.

The reason is that a lot of these fans are chelsea supporters because of these players only.

Thats cherry picking mate. There are much more other nationalities having a go at Mata than belgians. Just check the Mata thread and the unpopular opinions.

Then come and tell me which belgians do this to further their compatriots. You will see your argument is based on loose sand. Let's see some facts.
