Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Honestly i don't think it was lazy or even a lack of concentration from Hazard. He's basically being asked to play left back in that situation. He's being asked to man mark Juanfran.He doesn't spot Juanfran's run. Hazard looked seconds before Juanfran made the run. Hazard knew he was there but he turned his head to look at the ball and that's when Juanfran made the run.It's one thing asking hazard to track back and help out his FB, whole other story when you're asking him to play left back and be left on his own.Like Skipper said Hazard should never be asked to defend that deep especially not on his own.

haranr 485 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 and a player of his ability was unable to force anything on the game. fact. fact, he failed to track his man for 1st and 3rd goal. fact.he barely had a positive impact on the match despite being double/triple or quadrupled marked. fact.hence your statement that he was our best attacking player is simply WRONG.fact.He was able to force something on the game. fact.He had the biggest positive impact on the match regarding the attack (we didn't have a lot of attack going on)He was our best attacker like always the problem is that he can't do everything alone.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Are people really expecting that Hazard (our most creative player, who always should put his energy in attack) needs to save us in defence? Maybe we should blame Torres for not standing besides Schwarzer on the goal line with the three goals to?

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 This forum has also blamed Torres for scoring believe it or not. Don't take them seriously.I actually thought he had a decent game but that defensive lapse for their 1st goal was disgraceful. That was pretty much unforgivable considering the magnitude of the game and it cost us dearly. Atletico were struggling to create chances up until that point and were becoming increasingly frustrated.Unless you're Ronaldo or Messi that can bail us out on the other end then you can't completely ignore your defensive assignment like that.

Jase 43,479 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 This is not about views. You are no real supporter. Get lost. Am not a real supporter? Yeah, like I give a shit about whether others think I'm a real supporter or not. It's quite sad when people have to resort to such cheap attacks in a discussion rather than have a civilized debate.

bushman 2,043 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Nobody should be immune to critism. Not Hazard, Oscar, Willian.. The fact as pointed above Hazard failed last night. Who else should be blamed for his failure? Perhaps, Jose too. If Hazard was not ready to go, then why did he play him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 He wasn't fit enough IMO, we should have brought him in the second half instead Mohammed Seif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He's gotten a shitload of it after the game)The thing is do you really want Hazard to be in that situation ? My point is that we should have never let Hazard get into that situation.He's a creative attacking midfielder and man marking isn't one of his strenghts.Hazard is an attacking midfielder if you put him into a position where he has to manmark Juanfran on his own in our own 18 yard box then yeah things aren't gonna go well.

Stingray 9,441 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 He had a job to do, he failed. Golden boy Eden is immune to criticism? Fuck that.Most of us aren't saying he is immune to criticism. I do have a real problem with the 'he sucks, sell him' kinda vibe that went on here yesterday. He still is young, should have defended better, but we went down as a team as well imo. So focussing on Hazard as THE reason we got kicked out of the CL is somewhat daft. Hamilton, The Skipper and Eden2020 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in a situation where we needed 11 men to work together and stay focused on keeping their shape. This is just a perfect example of what happens when one person doesn't do their job. It undoes the good work done by the other 10. Polo7 and Bir_CFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atelitco' fullbacks always push up, Hazard and Azpi both had to track back with them, for the first goal Hazard did, but he got caught ball watching rather than watching his man. There's no excuse, look at Bale for Madrid in both matches against Bayern, he was basically a LB. Although saying that i personally thought attacking-wise he was our best player, he was the only one beating his man and trying to at least create something.
