Eden Hazard

[Mustafa 885]

ALSO, I have somewhat of a theory.

I think Hazard needs to learn how to take free kicks. Because I think this will make him a better football player. How? Well, in my opinion, the one thing that Hazard is missing is finishing. His finishing is average at best. And I think this is due to his poor, poor shooting technique. Eden often has shots the dribble into the keepers hands after a ridiculous run where he goes passed 3/4 defenders. He has shots like the one at Wembley where he gets under the ball somehow. He has shots that he puts so much power into it but it's central and easy for the keeper.

The reason I think him practicing free kicks would help him is cuz you can't take free kicks without having good shooting technique. And frankly, Eden does not. That's why in a team where we don't have a REAL free kick specialist, he doesn't even come close to the ball whenever we have a free kick. Ivanovic is there before him. (Mind you, I think Brana can really strike a ball).

1:45 in this video you see him taking a rare free kick for us. I'm sorry but the technique is poor. Little to no swerve/bend on the ball, the placement was average and there was barely any power on it.

Look at all of the best player in the world. The attacking ones. All of them are capable of taking and converting free kicks. Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Bale, James, Robben, Alexis even Ozil ffs...

Do you think it's a coincidence that 99.9% of the time Hazard takes corners they don't beat the first man. Or am I the only person to notice that? The man cannot strike a dead ball to save his life. Why? Because his technique is poor.

I really do believe if he can work on that and improve his shooting technique.. it can equate to 5-10 more goals a year. Whether it's from direct free kicks, long shots, unerring finishes.. Whatever. But for an elite footballer, Eden Hazard does NOT strike a ball well.

It was hazard who gave the game away, he should improve his shooting

I've said it before that even Bertrand traore has a better shooting technique than hazard. He has no swerve on the ball which makes hazard try to do more unnecessary dribbling around the box when he just needs to shift to the right and curl the ball into the net.

He shoots only straight and doesn't have the consistent shot power to make it dangerous. I don't know if he has a personal trainer, but there's so much untapped talent hazard can develop including his ability to send vertical through passes to running attackers which he rarely attempts for some reason.

YESSS He doesn't have a chip in him!! Idky but he just doesn't. It's odd cuz he's class but he never shows composure.

Should buy carlos vela to teach him

That guy was disrespectful with his chips lol 9/10 even if the keeper is on his line, he'd go for the chip

Nasty chips.

If we fail to challenge for the title this season and Ronaldo leaves next year, could see Madrid come in and offer 100m for him and he would want to go despite what he said recently and the new deal. I hope for our sake we at least put up a fight for the title and reach QF of CL to show ambitions, or we are gonna get destroyed because of our new transfer policy.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Everytime someone mentions Real in this thread we should sacrifice a lamb to all gods so that it never happens again, ffs.

I wonder why everyone is supposed to want to be at Real. They win almost no titles and are a club full of cuntish, corrupted officials.Also will Ronaldo really leave next year? He will still be damn expensive and even Utd will realize some day that they don't need him.

Also it is not that Real really get anyone they want. Neymar, Totti, Pirlo, Roy Keane, Gerrard, Sandro Ramirez and many more rejected Real.

It is like the 'peak' of your career for these players, they are considered the best teams around for a long time with Bayern and Barcelona. The politic stuff only happens when you arrive there, outside it is just a rich powerful club with a shiny badge and prestige and every top players back themselves to succeed there.

Also not to MU specifically but he recently said he would like to move to MLS before the end of his career, could see him go if he is unhappy with FSW this season and Madrid fail to win anything again. Hazard did admitted in the past a while ago that his dream was Madrid though, the others are considered loyal club legends so they are not tempted by them.

MLS has a salary cap which is not much more than the 17m Ronaldo earns and I bet that greedy bastard would not like to miss out on that The only club dumb enough to actually sign him is PSG.

The thing is, we can easily keep Hazard until his contract ends in 2020 when he will be almost 30. If we keep him till that point, he might as well just stay here. CFC holds all the cards here. whatever Real bids for him next year, we don't need to sell and could still get a decent price in 2018 if the situation would become unbearable. When Hazard signed that contract, he knew he will not move one year later.

Football is a simple game to understand. 11 men chase Hazard and in the end no one is able to get him

Sounds a bit sexual

I like it.

To me this really shows Hazard's evolution under Jose.

Mourinho said: 'Look, if I compare my first match with him with my last match [of last season] with him – he is amazing. Because my first match with him was a friendly match in Malaysia, two years ago, where I was so disappointed with his light attitude.
'The last one was in Australia, after a crazy season, after a 24-hour flight – and he was man of the match, which should be a friendly game.
'So if I compare the levels of ambition, professionalism, respect, believing in himself, the status he wants to be, I see a huge difference – now, he's at the top of his game. Fantastic.

[DYC. 7,542]

I thought he was really poor in the first half. Strangely enough he upped his game after the red card and actually became the best player on the pitch. Held on the ball a bit too long at times though, and he should've taken shots. Too nice, Eden.

Him and Fabregas need to wake up now.
