Eden Hazard

[nono 791]

He should go to a different team where he can flourish. We should buy an attacking right back to play winger instead. Maybe that is why we are buying Baba ?

[Beigl 1,387]

Imagine him at a proper attacking team like Real Madrid. I like him very much, but sometimes I think he must feel lost during our games. Couldn't blame him if he searches a new adventure next season.

[zolayes 14,489]

Seems like it's not the same hazard of last season....

Its not the same Chelsea as last August

[robsblubot 3,218]

Either he is a top player, which pits him against the messis and suarez and cia or he isn't, in which case what he did today was enough.

Any other way would be unfair to hazard and the other players.

He wasn't bad, but we expect more from him and he just doesn't seem to deliver at the Etihad.

[Henrique 9,133]

Really bad performance.

Missed an incredible opportunity to equalize, and stayed with ball too much before conceding the counter attack that ended in City's 3rd goal.

Jose is not doing him a favor saying Hazard is better than Cristiano Ronaldo. He doesn't need that kind of pressure.

[LAM09 6,547]

He really needs to improve his finishing. That's one thing that let's him down.

[Billy. 2,739]

If he wants to be put in the same league as Messi Ronaldo etc etc, he really needs to start taking games by the scruff of the neck when we are playing poor, i mean how many time does messi and co pull there teams out of trouble on there own.

im not blaming him at all for yesterday, but those are the sort of games hes needs to step up and show why he could be the best, because all im seeing at the moment is a few shoulder drops and piss poor finishing.

Can see him at real next season

[Special Juan 27,102]

Be nice for him to come out of his hiding place from the last three games. People are quick to point the finger at Ivanovic, and rightly so, but this guy has been null and void for a few weeks now. But with Hazard people will claim he needs better around him and that he's tired, with Brana he's just called 'Shit'

Stop expecting the impossible.

If your team plays as bad as Chelsea did. A player like Hazard can't do it all by himself.

Even players like Ronaldo and Messi who are on a higher lever can't whern their recpective teams are outplayed like Chelsea was yesterday.

Did you see Ronaldo do anything in the Champions League semi final last year against Juventus when his team was playing bad?

Do you see Messi when he had to play as far back as Hazard?

Hazard was the only players on a decent level today.

Start blaming players like Costa who is only busy picking fights with his opponents instead of playing football.

Start blaming Mourinho for not buying top-players in defence who can do more than defend and who can als add someting in the buildup like Kompany at City.

I can not understand that a player like Mikel is still on the bench for a team that is supposed to have Champions League ambitions.

In defence, Teyy, Cahill and Ivanovic lack pace. A lot of pace. Terry and Ivanovic compensate some of it by ecperience but Cahill...

1 on 1 against a player like Aguero he is a disaster.

It looks like everyons was blinded by last years title. However, also last year a lot of shortcomings were visible.

Look at the ngame against PSG. But it seems Mourinho didn't mind. So prepare for a season without a trophy!

Dude have you seenBegovic and Matic playing? Or even Azpi with Zouma?

You are the one doing the blaming - I was merely agreeing with you that Hazard was at "decent level" which is enough for you, but not for me.

Perhaps the team would have played better if their best played had had a better showing?

With the money comes the expectations - you cannot say he's great and then tell me to blame other players who make 1/4th of the money hazard makes and/or play in much less key positions.

[termninja 5,290]

His trademark runs are really missing. Like he lost the balls to run with the ball

[sutro 1,026]

Didnt he rather had a slow start last season to?

Tought his first 4-5 games were average ,took him 6 games before he scored

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

Agree???

[sutro 1,026]

Agree???

I think its clear for everyone that Hazard would be much more effective in a attacking side than a more defensive minded side.

He might never reach his full potential here so lets hope he dont realise that ?

[Styles 9,790]

The problem Hazard is that the best players make their name in the big games. We know what happens to Chelsea in big games.

Lose-lose situation. "Hazard is not as good as so and so..." rinse and repeat.

[zolayes 14,489]

the problem is he poses just about the only danger to our opponents ,, This makes defending against him easier . A second factor is the poor service he is getting .

In time he will become frustrated and then ..................

Exactly. We didn't park the bus against City or arsenal and he didn't still do well in both, which is why I'm not scared as many here who think he'll leave us and go to Madrid.

Madrid don't sign anyone in attack who doesn't have huge goals + assists unless he is Spanish. If hazard wants to leave, then he needs to improve
