Eden Hazard

[stroey 2,525]

The best players of Chelsea this season are by far Costa and Fabregas, and the best player in the League is Aguero. There are players like Di Maria and Sanchez also arguably playing better than Hazard.

Hazard needs to improve a lot. He is really good in doing useless dribbles almost in his own half. In all the rest, he needs to improve to be one of the best players in the world.

Think Hazard actually improved a lot in terms of consistency. Sometimes he didn't play good but still scored or assisted a goal. Can't remember more than 1-2 games this season where Hazard hasn't been important or decisive.

Cesc-Hazard-Matic-JT-Costa

Think these 5 are currently the most important players in the right order.

which is what our team is. We aren't an one-man team like some teams are. We have key players, and Hazard is one of them.

For me, you're absolutely right, those five are the core of our success.

I do think Hazard and then Cesc have a bit of an edge compared to the other three, but we need Matic and JT as much as we need Hazard, Cesc and Diego.u

And for me a team player like Hazard is way better to have than players such as Aguero and Sanchez.

I can't believe someone said di María is playing better than Eden... I just can't. I do wonder just like @sutro before me, if people watch games or just read articles and check stats. Sanchez has paid off brilliantly for Arsenal in terms of goals (he's contributed directly, scoring or assisting, 50% of their goals so far). It doesn't mean he's as good as Hazard though, because he isn't. Eden is way more talented and the cheater is already 26, on his peak years. We already have Cesc and Costa to provide goals for us... Eden is better, more important even if he directly hasn't contributed as much as Sanchez had. Indirectly he's probably at the same level, if not higher...

No they don't. In reality Hazard is comparable to Messi or Ronaldo. Or at least he is as good as Aguero, or Fabregas for example this season.

Let's all of us say how amazing he is. In reality he isn't but we should all say tthat he is amazing.

In a forum where Oscar is "increadible"... yes Hazard is Ballon d'Or. Kalas is our future also.

A player that can't be our best player, and Hazard today is far from it, is not one of the best players in the world in the Ballon d'Or fight. If he wants to be our super star or best player in the world he needs to improve a lot, if he wants to be one more player he is in the right path.

my post was aimed at you rom, Hazard is by no means far from Costa or Fabregas.

For me Eden and Matic are our 2 best players so far this season and thats why i wonder if your watching our games.

Eden has made a big step forward this season

Eden needs to make 3 or 4 more steps because this is not enough.

ABout Eden being better than Fabregas (and Fabregas is a great player but also far from a Ballon d'Or quality)... well... I think the one that needs to see more games of Chelsea is not me.

[DanishBlue 426]

Omg, you should be grateful that we have Hazard. All clubs in the world would love to have him (beside Real Madrid and maybe 1 or 2 other clubs). There is a reason he wouldn't go for under 60-70 million. True, he is not the best player in the world, there are maybe 10-15 players better than him right now but that's not many.

Time will tell but do I think Jose is the coach to make him number one in the world? No, do I think Jose will improve for our Chelsea team? Yes, he has already and will continue to.

lol.

'This is not enough.' For who? You and your bullshit expectations? Think he is enough for pretty much every other Chelsea fan.

and thats the most important thing in the end, i dont care much if Eden becomes the world greatest player.

We all just want that Chelsea becomes the world greatest club and for that we have the best coach and Hazard is just a part of it.

Lmao, again no-one is allowed to go against the opinion of Hazard

I actually agree with Rom2013 to an extent. Hazard is comparable to the best in the world, in terms of the talent he possess and we've seen enough of that to know this as a fact. But if he's going to be standing alongside Messi and Ronaldo in awards and recognition then there is another level Hazard must step-up to. All Rom2013 is saying, is that Hazard has room for improvement to be one of the top 3 in the world.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. Hazard is not on the level of Messi and Ronaldo yet

He was talking about the Chelsea team. Said the Hazard today is far from being Chelsea's best player. Stop bringing Messi or Ronaldo into the equation, they're leagues above the rest.

Saying he has to make 3-4 steps before being considered better than Cesc or Costa is absolutely ludicrous.

Probably not 3-4 steps, but he's not our most important player right now. It's a valid argument. While his consistency has improved a lot this season, Hazard can do more to properly secure his place in our history, that will come with more experience with us, but if he wants to be our most important player then there is room for improvement. We all want Hazard to be our main guy, but he needs to be more imposing on games and show more genius when we're trying to break down tough opposition.

Actually, Real want to sell Bale to fund a Hazard bid!

Won't happen though, if there's one thing a worldwide club with the backing of a billionaire doesn't need, it's money.

I disagree. Think he's comfortably our most important player together with Cesc and Matic. Put any of these 3 out and we look a different (read: worse) team.

Edit: i don't think 'he can do more' is an argument btw.
