Eden Hazard

[Reddish-Blue 2,362]

The name Eden Hazard doesn't mean he is exempt from criticism, he's as much to blame as others. I said months ago that that I agreed that he pulled us to the title last season, he was excellent, but now the roles have been reversed I'd like to ask where has Eden Hazard been in our down time? He hasn't shone like Willian, he hasn't scored for fuck knows how long and I can't remember the last time he did something that made people sit up and believe in him.

Costa was our top scorer last season, he got respect then, right now, like Hazard he's been shite, they deserve the criticism they get. I'm not bothered whether he faked his or injury or not, he just needs to get out of this fucking hole he's in and start delivering the goods again. If it continues, sell him or any other player that doesn't want to be here.

Maybe you should also ask where the majority of our first XI has been during this downward spiral?

The only Chelsea players I exempt from criticism are Willian and Begovic.

If you had been reading the forum, you would of seen I have.

He's actually been fine lately. Needs a goal though.

[Fernando 6,488]

I remember last year when people would laugh that he would be sold to Madrid.

Well here we are, and each week it seems like it will happen.

Oh well, this is the price we will need to pay to keep Mourinho.

Let's get some good money so we can buy some big and tall players.

Injured? What part of his body is injured? Probably his mind. He acts injury, he doesn't want to play for us so he needs to leave.

[didierforever 7,349]

fucking pussy. no mental steel.

[FabHazard 655]

fucking pussy. no mental steel.

He was injured..he even tried to play again...but he was clearly not in a condition to continue on the pitch..you cannot criticize him for yesterday's events

If you are slamming him for his performances over season ..fair enough..!

[Polo7 3,496]

Injuries are a crime now? How often does it happen that a player goes off only to be fit for the next game? A common occurence, no?

How is this an issue? The club truly is in absolute chaos. A player can not continue to play and it is actually an issue.

Wenger continued to play an Alexis Sanchez (who was apparently) on his last legs and got hammered when he got injured. What is right and what is wrong?

Dude it wasn't a muscle injury. It might of hurt but if he is available for next game then he could have stayed on simple. Hazard is mentally weak. This season proved it!

OK. So let's think back to Arsenal's game a couple weeks ago against Norwich. Cazorla had a knee injury and was hurt. He went back on the pitch despite him being 'hurt' but at the time looked nothing serious. He then went on to play the whole game and to his and Wenger's naivety, it turned out after the game he had ligament damange in the knees and now will be out for 3-4 months. Moral of the story: Don't force yourself to play if you have an injury.

Like I said, when Hazard is injured, he is injured. I think everyone should appreciate that. Why of all times yesterday would he have called to be subbed off when he could have all season when he has taken worse challenges. Come on. Be serious.

Thats a little harsh I guess ... Over the last 3 games, atleast he has shown more determination than anyone else (not talking abt his performance, thats been bad) ... different story that the output hasnt being what we want ... But he looked as if he wants to make a statement, if he could had continued he would have I believe ...

[Atholy 1,293]

This guy took like one trillion (very hard) tackles in the past three years in a Chelsea shirt and ALWAYS got up again. On top of that he never ever complained about one single of these tackles with the Ref or the opposing player!

That alone makes him a one of kind player that simply needs to be respected for that!

The guys that are complaining about his ego/mental weakness/'he's faking his injury' have really reached rock bottom for me!

I don't say Hazard is immune for criticism, not at all!!

But as it comes to the injury topic... you guys are really making a fool out of yourself and you might as well just sh*t up!

Tbh I think people feel annoyed because of how he just seemed to walk off. It looked from the naked eye that he sort of just gave up and had enough.

If it is an injury, even a short one, then understandable. He deserves to play 100% not less.

This kid is pretty spineless... A master with the ball on his feet.. but not a leader by a long shot.

he did? looked like he was doing a "formality". and then just gave up. walked off.

i am slamming him for his overall mentality. when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. and the pussies start walking away. he has shown to be a fucking pussy;

[Yeboii 1,844]

Thats not true. Althought, I agree that his attitude towards tackles are great, he does much more complaining than he used to to the ref. I kind of get it since he must be getting sick of all the hackings.

Hazard averaged 50+ games per season (club record) in the past six seasons. That's between the age of 18-24. He's already played well over 400 games for club and country. When he's taken off in a game, something that doesn't happen often, he's not happy (that's also a problem for some though). He always wants to play. That's evident.

He's rarely injured so he obviously does something right when it comes to his fitness. When he feels something is not right and he can not go on - something that almost never happens - I trust his reasons to be legit because of his record, which is a fact.

As for that last part, I need some proof and arguments. This season is proof you say but I don't see it. His career and the burden of responsibility he's carried, becoming a star man and someone you can count on at a very young age, suggests the opposite.

Be annoyed with his performances. Criticise the level of quality he's producing. But when you question his professionalism and attitude towards the game and make all kinds of claims, you begin to sound silly imo. And that's putting it lightly. That goes for the vast majority of players btw.

He has never had a bad patch like he has now. His attitude when he came on then ran off the pitch like a pansy. Mentally he is weak, this is very evident. This is why he couldn't score his last few penalties. Once it starts going wrong he goes into melt down mode. He is out star player, we need him now more than ever and he is choking, week in week out.

I said it in the match thread yesterday already but the way he landed he could have fractured his hip for all we know. Injuries don't always happen the same way all the time. For some people getting out of bed is one of the most normal thing to do, for Diaby it means fracturing his elbow or some shit. It happens.

With the amount of tackles Hazard has been on the receiving end of in his Chelsea career so far and the times he hasn't suffered any injury it speaks volumes that something actual happened yesterday.
