Eden Hazard

[Greyco 143]

januzai has nothing to do with Belgium or its nt. he only holds the nationality so he can play in England.

Considering he was born in Belgium, grew up in Brussels and went through the Anderlecht youth academy until 2011, that's a rather stupid comment to make... Just because he hasn't determined which country he'll represent.

even if janujaz would win united the league by himself and all those belgians around the globe would have a perfect season, hazard would still be a starter for belgium. he'd even be in the starting line-up even if he'd leave for maldives tomorrow and arrive in brazil with a half an hour before belgium's first game. he is for belgium what cristiano is for portugal, ibrahimovic for sweden and so on. it's hazard we're talking about, not chadli, so that can januzaj threaten his place in the belgium starting line-up

I don't know where you get your info, but he hasn't nearly been as important for us as Cristiano or Zlatan were for their countries.

janujaz is noone way better people been and gone at Utd.

We have a very talented, forward, direct player in Hazard who will dribble his way into the box and the goal, gluing the ball on his feet sometimes and getting out of the some ridiculous situations when he's marked by even 3 men. He also has a good vision and can provide a good assist and has been getting more confident with shooting.

This kid is a gem. I'll wear my Hazard shirt tomorrow proudly

'He's been different class for us; when we bought him we knew he was a world class player and he's proving that game after game,' explained Terry.
'He's getting stronger and stronger, he's our top scorer at the moment as well so he's vitally important going forward but he's working hard defensively as well so he's a great asset.'

Been reading abit on other Chelsea forums and apart from praising him some of the members there suggest to build the team arround him.

Some say that Mourinho is already doing that.

What are your toughts about that?

Should a top team like Chelsea depend so much on one player? I have my doubts to be fair

His ball through to Oscar where he dived was sublime.

Hazard plays on the left, I think it would be better if they build a team around a central player.

They should give the ball more often to Hazard instead of going for own succes if you ask me, everyone would benefit from it.

Before you would consider doing something like this, you have to be sure he can perform consitently at a very high level, and for me that is still the biggest question mark around him i believe.

Also when you compare our team to others that have done sth similar (Suarez at Liverpool - Bale at Spurs), he isn't the only standout player we have. There's also Oscar and maybe Willian, so to me it would make less sense to do it.

Shame Oscar didn't put that away because that was a lovely move.

He is Mourinho's main man and the portuguese has said (or implied it) many times. The thing is like @borriske wisely pointed out is that he isn't consistent enough to fulfill that role completely. But Mourinho doesn't mind it. He knows he's only 23 (or will be in three days ) and he's learning and I guess he's never been managed and coached like he is now. He was used to play what Mourinho called last week street football. So I'd assume he was given freedom to just use his talent to dribble and run by opponents and capitalize on that, but top level football is much more than that, so he's adapting. Mourinho is doing everything he can now for that to become a reality as soon as possible.

Now to answer your question about if it should be done or not... It worked wonderfully well with Sneijder (centered) at Inter and even better with Cris at RM (in the wing). Mourinho doesn't make his teams dependable on his biggest start as Barcelona is dependable on Messi. It's a different kind of stardom. It has more to do with freedom than dependance. RM didn't look as bad without Cris as Barça without Messi and there's a reason for that.

Mourinho chose a system that benefited Cris' style, but mainly all players we had (and players he lately added to the squad) enjoyed the system too. Guardiola built a system for Messi and around Messi. It's no secret there's no player like Messi (not only his quality, but even his style is hard to find), so the moment you build a system for that player and he's injured, you're screwed. Mourinho will do the same (as he did with Cris) with Eden imo. Our system is clear as light imo, and it fits Eden, but also fits a numerous of other players in our squad and while none of them have the same quality as Eden, we'll cope because Schürrle, Willian, Oscar, while having completely different characteristics can fit the system. We'd miss Eden's quality just like any team in the world would miss if their best player is injured or being rested, but I don't see Chelsea becoming dependable on him, but I can see a system being built where he's the most important guy, the player with more freedom and who'll be more benefited by the style.

I can't wait until he's consistent enough (it's no complaint, the kid IS a kid still). We'll be orgasmic

Really wish he'd win the POTY award!

[LukakutoStamford 779]

Would be nice to get him a quality striker. At times he suffers from a lack of top end talent around him. This was evident in the first half v. Soton as he was quite good but he wasn't getting much help. When Oscar and William came on he was getting some help and it was clear that they created openings for him.

As good as Hazard is in form he can't always be asked to beat 2-4 men.

At this point it may even be worth it to play him in a false 9 position allowing for Oscar William and Mata to play with him.

Kinda fun to watch Eden in his last season at Lille. Ligue 1 defenders must have been happy to get rid of the low-gravity runs which he had already mastered back then.

They can bid how much they want. We will NEVER sell.
