Eden Hazard

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Nothing for his performances against Man City (one of the best performances of any player this season), Newcastle (first hattrick in English football), Fulham, Tottenham. His only poor performance was against West Brom, but the whole team was poor that day. He scored 4 goals and 2 assists in February from the wing, and god knows how many chances he created and how many defenders he embarrassed. And no, Hazard has had a better February than January in the league. Both in terms of quality of opposition, stats and quality of play. And he should have won it in January even. We are talking about a player that is statistically the most creative in all of Europe, and he is not even a playmaker, and he plays for a team without a prolific striker.

Sturridge, a striker, on the other hand scored 5 goals in 4 games against West Brom, Fulham, Swansea, Arsenal. He was pretty average against a terrible Arsenal side despite scoring. He missed many guilt edged chances in that game and should have had a hattrick.

But when I saw Hazard was up against two other non-Chelsea English players in Nolan and Sturridge, I knew he was not going to win. The English players always get preferential treatment by the FA. And add to the fact that he plays for Chelsea, his chances become slimmer. Just look at how many Chelsea players have won POTM, been in the TOTY and so on. I remember one season, Lampard scored 22 goals and 14 assists in the PL alone, I think 2009/2010, when we won the league....He wasn't even in the TOTY, they gave it to Fabregas. How can a CM have 22 goals and 14 assists in one season and not even be in the TOTY. How many times has Cech been there? Terry compared to Rio? How many MOTM's has Mourinho won? Zero.

They clearly discriminate against us, it's something I noticed a long time ago and something Mourinho even alluded to in the post-match press conference vs Newcastle. Fuck them. If Chelsea do win the title, I hope Hazard is recognized as the best player in England and Mourinho the best manager, but I won't hold my breath.

If we win the title, it will be because of Hazard (mostly). However, the FA doesnt seem to think he is playing well enough!

They do. Not as much as they need to but he is finally nominated for player of the month.

As Cole put it brilliantly:

"FA are a bunch of twats"

Tbf we as chelsea supporters know his value, we also know that he's the best player in the epl.

And if we win the title Eden should get the poty award because in all fairness he's the biggest reason we have won it .

But knowing the fa,suarez will get that title even if we are the champions simply because he doesnt play for Chelsea and perhaps also because of his 20+ goals and 10+ assists witch is to me much less important than making your club champion

Maybe its good he doesn't win this award.. It might prove as a boost as he tries to prove himself even more

Hazard made lille champion, could well be he does the same for Chelsea.

Individual prices are not that important, he will be best next season.

Coming behind Suarez is not a shame.

There are actually five individual awards available :

(1) Football Writers Association award ( voted by football writers, most prestigious one)

(2) Young player of the year award (voted by football writers, for best U-24 player)

(3) Player's player of the year award ( voted by fellow professionals. Very prestigious)

(4) Premier league player of the season ( voted by premier league sponsors and experts)

(5) Fan's player of the year ( voted by fans. The least prestigious one because of obvious bias)

Even if Hazard doesn't win the FWAA (which, IMO, he should if Chelsea win the league), then he has a bunch of other stuff to compete for. I think he will win the Player's player of the year. I know for a fact that other premier league players from other clubs like Hazard very much and are in awe of his talent and honesty. I'm also sure that they won't want to vote for one vile, racist, biter, cheater and dirty diver called Luis Suarez.

The guy is the only thing going right up front for us at the moment, and once again he was the one looking to take control and make things happen. That shows how he's grown as a player this last year and it bodes well for the future, but he needs the people around him to do more. He needs the kinds of runs that Schurrle made against Fulham for him to play the ball forward and also to create space for him to work in.

He ended up dropping deep in the second half to try and make things happen and it's so annoying to see a guy want to win so much and be surrounded by players who seem quite content just to watch and wait for him to save their balls.

Yeah you could clearly see Hazard wanted the win pretty bad today but oh well!Still think he should have hit the one chance he had instead of unselfishly crossing it to Ramires I think it was.

This. It was frustrating as hell to see that. I wonder where that complacency came from tbh.

eden hazard is MvP in chelsea. He is loyal player.. i think, Hazard will be best player in the world..

[Mufassir08 2,400]

"When a person [like Mourinho] says good things about you, wants the best out of you, it's always a good thing," Hazard told Uefa.com.

"It shows that you're on the right track and that you still have a lot to accomplish, because talent is good but you can do better. It is up to me now to work hard in order to reach the best possible level, and that can be through training and games.

"It's not that he makes me improve or anything. He lets people do their own thing, he gives a lot of confidence to his players, he motivates us with small statements, small sentences in the newspapers or face to face.

"I think I am giving that back to him on the pitch. As I often say, I hope it will last because we have a nice chapter to write together."

Though he can still create from his possession I have no doubts he's been slow and dull lately. Hazard is not this athletic specimen, he's not built that way. I think we can learn from the slips of Messi that you have to take good care of these talent players. Playing every game is great for his confidence but there comes a point where you have to realize he is not a Ronaldo or a Lebron James (I know its basketball but there is a point to be had). His body isn't really extraordinary by any standard, the edge he gains in his game comes from his mind. This type of player needs to betaken care of and watched. When there are signs of fatigue ignoring them could lead to a catastrophe. You don't need the sports gene to become a world class footballer and that's cool but if you don't have the sports gene you need to accept your limitations.

Because Suarez is better than him and will win POTY no matter what he does or if we win the title or not.

Tbf we as chelsea supporters know his value, we also know that he's the best player in the epl.

And if we win the title Eden should get the poty award because in all fairness he's the biggest reason we have won it .

But knowing the fa,suarez will get that title even if we are the champions simply because he doesnt play for Chelsea and perhaps also because of his 20+ goals and 10+ assists witch is to me much less important than making your club champion

Or maybe because he is just a top 3 player in the world atm...equal league goal with Ronaldo despite playing like 6 games less.

If every player could become a Jose player every football team would be nearly impossible to beat.

Right

Ps: Eden will own him soon enough. If not already.

[duo11bluecl 207]

It is just common sense? you don't have to have that glass on and think every Chelsea player is the best or top 10 in the world in their positions. Yh he is already owning him at dribbling and that is about it, the rest Suarez is just way better.
