Eden Hazard

[TrippingStep 336]

Eden cut all ties with his broker/manager (or whatever you call them in English) and all of a sudden he's beeing linked with Real and PSG again, despite still having at least 3.5 years left on his contract. Not sure what to make of it tbh...

Have you a link?

I think he's a moody player.

His trip to Lille to me I think was because he was a little bit depressed.

It wouldn't surprised me if like David Luiz, Mata, he wouldn't stay that long at Chelsea, especially under Mourinho.

Under Benitez he was good, I think that was because he was enjoying himself more and there was a lot more structure and patterns in our attacks.

The ball was coming also quicker from defense, not the many many passes between the central defenders that we see this year.

A moody player? On the contrary, he's always happy and fooling around. Why would you even assume he was depressed?

This is all just British tabloid bullshit going into January

We need to take our own view here that isn't dictated to us by reading the media. Moody is Balotelli for me, but I suppose everyone has their definition of moody and Hazard wouldn't be that for me, but reading articles I can see why people would think it.

Try and make your own outlook would be my words to anyone.

No player has attempted (100) or completed (57) more dribbles in the Premier League this season than Hazard.

What happened between Mourinho and him???

Nothing?

Some random media bs doesnt mean there problems between Mourinho and Hazard.

Hazard is Mourinho's most used player, do you realy think that would be the case if he wasnt fully commited like that journalist says? I doubt it

Yeah this. If Mourinho wasn't happy with Hazard's commitment he'd simply bench him.

Article in the Mail today by Ashton that suggests Eden is the first off the pitch after training and hints at issues about his commitment. Not sure what to make of it. The guy has all the talent in the world but he clearly has games where he's more up for it than others.

Been seeing this piece by Neil Ashton circulating around the twittersphere and most people seem to be in agreement that there's only one way Hazard should respond to these rumours.......

We ain't even talking about the game, we in here talking about.....practice!! In all seriousness though, with AVB gone, I imagine Neil will now resume back to delighting us all with his petulant, sensationalist stories about the 'football-ruining madhouse' that is chelsea football club.

[haranr 485]

If we let him leave Chelsea than f*** us.

[didierforever 7,349]

if we let him go (i cant even imagine that we would be comprehending letting him go). but still "IF" we let him go, with him would go our title hopes.

also i cant understand what his problem with mou would be?? would it be that eden feels mou is playing him too much, that he is playing him in literally every game. i mean such nonsensical rumors!!!

He will be MoM against Arsenal. I just know it.

That's funny.

How many rings does Iverson have?

Jordan practiced as hard as he played and that's why he's the greatest of all time. Ronaldo works on his game and works twice as hard as almost any other player in the gym - that's why he's one of the greatest players ever.

Hazard could be one of the greatest ever. But he needs to knuckle down and show the type of form he showed against Sunderland more than once a season (last season it was against West Ham). I know it's easy to slate Ashton but the guy does have some credibility.

One more thing about that clip - wasn't Iverson scoring champion, all-star and league MVP when he said that stuff? Eden Hazard has achieved slightly more than the square root of fuck all right now. He NEEDS to practice.

[mediator 2,026]

Daily Mail stroke again

[der Kaiser 77]

No question for him in press conference so story about hin was totally BS

Yeah, sure Jose wants to get rid of our best player. How can someone even believe in that?

Ronaldo is the trained product, but Messi is raw God given talent.

If Hazard has the latter, we wouldn't have been playing in the Europa League last season. He needs to PRACTICE to reach the level of Messi or Ronaldo.

No question of his skills. And he couldn't have asked for a better coach.

Todays news ,tommorows fish and chip paper. The boy is class ,I wonder why Ashton is not so interested in whether Mikel stays on for extra training? he was stupid to miss training when he went to France ,but class players deserve a bit of slack and Hazard is quality.

Probably not a good idea for Hazard to pull an 'Iverson rant' on this one! Exactly the kind of egomaniac thing Zlatan would do though...

But I agree. Much has been said about whether Iverson could have achieved much more as a player if he had embraced a better work ethic in 'practice' such as that of Kobe or of course, Jordan. But I don't see any 'slacker' signs like that from Hazard. He's been mediocre for large parts of the season, but also in the time he's been here at this club, our playing style has been such a disjointed mess. I think it's kinda unrealistic to expect him (at age 21/22) to consistently perform as he did against Sunderland when the team hasn't exactly been playing in a way in which his potential can be optimized.

Anyway, If this story were coming from Dominic FiField at the Guardian i'd be worried but I don't consider Neil Ashton as a credible journalist at all. He gets some things right (i.e predicting the line-up for champions league final) but massively exaggerates others, and this cock & bull story is one of them. The majority of his pieces about Chelsea has centred around a narrative of dysfunction and now he's trying to engineer this image of Hazard as lazy and uncommitted with no substantial evidence to support that. So Hazard doesn't linger around after training..... big deal. Is he continuously showing up late to training or slacking off in training? There's been no indication of that from Mourinho. Jose has had no problem benching big stars for underachieving (whether in training or on the pitch) and he certainly wouldn't have a problem in doing the same with Hazard if he weren't working hard enough.
