Eden Hazard

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Is he even better than Bale atm? I don't think so. Hazard might be better technically but Bale is WAY FASTER and WAY better finisher. Also he is also only 1 year younger, not exactly a lot younger so they are comparable. You will never see Hazard does that sprint, he would have slowed down and tried to dribble past the defender waiting for team mates to arrive.

Why is he better? Because he passed like a Gallardo by an inexperienced and a second-hand CB in Bartra? Every world-class defender in this world would have sent Bale in the stands there. At least this is what Terry, Ivanovic, Cahill or Azpi would have done. Especially at that moment of the game. You just can't defend the way that guy did.

you like comparing our player and run them down with what they don't do better. Have u ever heard of the word "support" if u support a student that fail a course all the time by giving him a back up training I believe u know what the result will be. U don't have strong support on your team players u call you own? Get the fuck out you don't deserve the team. Even If u see their weakness u think on how he or she can improve not kill their spirit to improve

This is such an incredibly reactionary post it's laughable. Bale just scored a goal against the worst Barcelona team in years - who have an absolute clown in goal - so of course Bale is better than Hazard.

We really need him against Sunderland, he should start if his fit

Just ignore

I gotta admit that it was a well taken goal by Bale though .. not easy scoring that type of goals .. I was just trying to for 2 hours and failed .. lol

it's not ALL about pace .. Messi doesn't have Bale's pace! .. and if it comes to pace we have Salah! we have Schurrle! .. they can offer pace to the team .. it's a team sport and the players shouldn't be copies of each other!

We just beat PSG without Hazard and Swansea....

Hazard had the same inconsistencies last season with Mata.. He has been brilliant in 2014, not all season. Oscar was the best player in 2013.

Maybe you have short memory, however, I could of swore a lot of people calling Hazard to be bench in the early parts of the season.

Seriously, POTY awards are dumb in football. It's always awarded to the player for the best last months of the season, rather than the full season i.e. Bale with the EPL poty and Cristiano with the Baloon d'or.

Hazard linked amazingly with Mata and he did have inconsistencies but that is not relevent cuz this year he hasn't been brilliant all along since he didn't have that World-class partner. Oscar for me was never the best player in 2013, he showed numbers but Hazard was always better. The people who called Hazard to be benched are idiots. Now, for me the POTY award should be given to the most important player in the team, that made the biggest difference and that is Hazard.

Hazard is better. Bale might be a better goal-scorrer but Hazard is much better of a midfielder, playmaker.

That goal for me could be easily avoided by Pinto.

It's also helps when the opposition have a stick in goal. Actually, A stick would have kept that out.

This lad really needs to step up now at this late, crucial part of the season. We need him to be putting in performances like he did against City/Newcastle. He's got the world at his feet just needs to deliver now, he'll be the difference if we're to beat Liverpool/Atletico/Bayern/Real

tbf he really couldn't do anything about that, even if it was Neuer it would have gone in

and he just dribbled over bartra, like he the best CB in da whole world

Just thought of throwing this out here. Up to you lads on how you want to interpret it.

In 50 games this season, Hazard has not played at all in 5 of them and in those 5 matches, we won all 5 and didn't concede once:

1. vs Steaua(A) - W 4-0

2. vs Swindon(A) - W 2-0

3. vs Schalke(H) - W 3-0

4. vs Arsenal(A) - W 2-0

5. vs Swansea(A) - W 1-0

In another 5 games of the 50, Hazard did not start but came off the bench:

1. vs Norwich(A) - W 3-1 [was 1-1 when he came on]

2. vs Basel(A) - L 1-0 [was 0-0 when he came on]

3. vs Sunderland(A) - L 2-1 [leading 1-0 when he came on]

4. vs Derby(A) - W 2-0 [leading 1-0 when he came on]

5. vs Stoke(H) - W 3-0 [leading 1-0 when he came on]

1. easy game no need for H17

2. easy game

3. been punished. and easy game too at home

4. easy game. had mata took care of it

5. injured

1. usefull

2. usefull

3. usefull

4. usefull

5.usefull

conclusion: we can make it if hazard didnt involved in a match. but our attacks improve rapidly once he get in. the only weakness is hazard not good enough tracking back and disturbing opponents, so we lack a little bit defensive quality once he's in. our other AMs in the other hand, improve our def quality with their magnificent coverage ability and track back, but lack creativity in opponent's final third
