Eden Hazard

[polo 18]

Slow starter? He started last season on fire for us.... wasn't he not directly involved in all our goals after 4 or 5 games last season...

you know the word EXCEPTION . can you read????????????????????

Guess who's back, back again
Eden's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back,
guess who's back
Guess who's back...

Not the best performance, but two goals, can't complain. That will give him his confidence back. He will tear Schalke apart in midweek.

and a good pass for Eto'o goal

Flashes of brilliance from Eden today, not his best of games but he got the stats to show for. If both are fit, I'd pick him ahead of Schurrle, no question.

He was really good today, good goals

[Tchekitchek 37]

I heard he wasn't "that" good if you except the goals?

[meetdoscar 335]

His best 90 minutes in Epl this season but he can play better

Nah, his play in general was one of his best this season.

It was arguably his best performance of the season. Looks more positive and sharper today.

You heard wrong.

Needs to play like this more often, 2 goals and a assist IIRC, need to see this sort of performance more often.

I think it's interesting to note that his best performance with us in a while came when Bertrand was playing behind him instead of Ash. Ryan, for 60 mins, made forward runs in every single attack, often making overlapping runs to stretch the Cardiff defense. He kept at least one of those two defenders on the right (our left) occupied and gave Eden more room to work with while when Cole plays and rarely makes supporting runs, Eden is left double-marked most of the time.

Not saying that it was all down to that, just that it might have been big factor.

Think that is a valid point. Ronaldo at Madrid, after all, tends to do huge damage on the LW when he had Marcelo bombing up and down that flank all day long to create overlaps, 1-2 plays, distract opponents etc.
