Eden Hazard

[Weckerz 3,781]

He'll grow into the season, he's been drastically better in the latter part of the season for 3 years straight now, it might not be a coincidence. He does need more consistency, something that will come in time I'm sure

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He doesnt have experience and is inconsistent because of young age. I remember Ribery was inconsistent as hell in those years too...all that Eden needs is to play and get support and certainly train hard.

Btw I see a lot more of Ribery in Eden rather than Ronaldo or Bale. People who expect Hazard to be truly one of worlds best he has to score tons of goals are just wrong. Ribery rarely scores and assists (in comparison to the likes of Messi or Ozil) but he is in my opinion more useful player for Bayern than Messi or Ronaldo or Ozil would ever be. He isnt selfish and lets others shine aswell. He makes that extra in big games and thats it. He is super team player and I would love to see Eden become like him one day, even if that means he will never be 20+ goals scoring machine every season. Ribery is proof of offensive team player that *makes other players play better*. Same like Zidane used to do. On other hand Ronaldo or Messi will never make others play better. They are main stars surrounded by world class players and play even better (sure thats plus for team as whole, but one cant say that Messi or Ronaldo made Benzema or Villa play better (I guess it was opposite actualy))

i have noticed he isn't just a ronaldo, bale or messi type of player but he is more of a ribery/nasri player. I wish he could be more than that This is why im being so critical of him to change while he's young.

The only thing stopping him is his attitude. If he brings in more urgency and responsibility to his game, he will suddenly start taking more driving runs and shots which create chances out of nothing.

But sadly hazard is too much of a team player for this, so we need the team to play well for hazard to shine.

Yeah the thing I like mostly about Ribéry is that he always plays a big role in every game, hazard on the other hand disappears in games too much.... I can see the comparison tho that hazard can make a team go like Ribéry does...

Altho the last game I saw Some interesting dribbles again from hazard, you could see the guys defending him nearly crapped their pants everytime he got the ball...

moving around to receive the ball

.

And imo he doesn't get it (fast) enough at times. At times he's overlooked and doesn't get the ball, mostly the ball goes backwards these days..

The thing with Hazard is that since he joined us, we have actually only seen his talent and abilities in glimpses and patches and I don't think we have yet to really see him play a match well from the first till the last minute of a game. Usually, he only does well and suddenly turn in out in parts during matches. Maybe it's because of his talent and abilities that we have high expectations and expect big things from him every time but given that, I would really like to see a tad more consistent performances, despite the young age, not just bits and pieces here and there. And maybe it's also due to the fact that he's no longer the big fish in a small pond like he was at Lille but I certainly want to see him perform at full flow because right now, he's not doing too much that his talent suggests he can.

What i wonder is are we judging him on how good he is now or his potential when he joined?

He was the hottest young property at Lillie and getting hype beyond all means and hasn't quite reached his obvious potential, but despite it being widely regarded he has been under par this season, hasn't he created the most chances out of anyone this season?

That's the thing with hyped up players, the media creates an image of the so called new Messi or Ronaldo or whatever and inadvertently people use it as a benchmark to judge said players.

People on here will criticize him even if he is our motm because he is called Hazard and 'we all know his potential, he should do better'. This is such a flawed way of thinking and will only set you up to be disappointed more often than not.

He is Eden Hazard, not Ronaldo, we saw what he can do last year, he hasn't reached his level from his Lille days but tbh people need to cut him some slack and let him grow.

I think its always good to push everyone so they play better. We know Hazard can play better, Mourinho knows it. Lets hope he has the same mentality as many people here saying he should do better.

All his touches against West Bromwich Albion.

He's really not playing as bad as some people think.

[Jase 43,479]

He's really not playing as bad as some people think.

But not as good and consistent as he can (or should) be.

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

True but my comment was more directed at people who think he should be benched (as if that would magically make him play better) and act like he's playing piss poor all the time.

I was just watching a video of Torres and at the end Eden Hazard says, Feroze17 on camera!

Isn't he a member here?

He is. I remember his post about that....think it was a competition he won and Eden didn't say the entire thing he submitted....or something like that
