Eden Hazard

[Muzchap 8,966]

Wow - way to turn on one of our best players...

Hazard has been poor this season, but everybody else has too, except Wllian and Own Goal

We have ZERO attacking philosophy - Mourinho is ruining players

Drop Hazard into City, Arsenal or Pool and he would shine.

I don't get the hatred for him at the moment, I really don't - he was unlucky to score against Porto - it's fine margins.

An attacking winger needs good movement in the box and a decent midfield to play with - we don't have this? Why are we expecting miracles from him?

Seriously, bring *any* attack minded coach in and watch the change in Hazard.

For €30 million euros he's still the best bit of business we have done since Didier

Lay off the guy - T'is the season of goodwill to all men (and animals, except Turkeys it seems!)

Do you mean an 'attacking philosophy' or a philosophy of how we should attack. We may not have the former but we certainly have the latter.

I don't get the hatred for him at the moment, I really don't - he was unlucky to score against Porto - it's fine margins.

It's not hatred but frustration spilling over into resentment (?) or a sense of betrayal.

Let me try and explain but first I'll say this - Eden Hazard is the single most skilful player I've seen at this club. My own experience only goes back to the mid-90s but we're still talking Hoddle, Gullit, Robben and obviously Zola. Above all of them though, I think Eden has the most natural talent.

But natural talent only gets you so far and everything I've seen and heard about Eden makes me think he doesn't have that drive that someone like Franco or Ronaldo had/has. You hear all the stories of him being the first off the training pitch, the first in the canteen, the first out the door and you see him come back from his summer break overweight every single year. Now neither of them are particularly unusual, but when you have a reputation for being a slow starter it does make you wonder.

What makes those feelings come to the surface is when you don't perform on the pitch. Now I'll say now, he won us the league almost single-handedly towards the end of last season. He was the difference maker in so many games but he hasn't got close to that and it's December so when you add all of that up, you do start to wonder about a player.

Then to top it off, you have the Leicester game. Now I'm not a doctor and I don't know what issue he had, and I'll be the first to say that he deserves better protection from refs. But it wasn't a good look and after everything else you're going to get some people getting annoyed.

But what I will say is that he won't be the best player in the world until he wants to be. He's supposedly a bit of a homebody off the pitch, content to live with his young family and be very good at what he does. 99% of people would do exactly the same, but he could be in the top 1% of the top 1%.

If Hazard magically starts performing now Mourinho is gone I want him sold. Hitting a rough patch of form is okay to me but not even trying to do your best is not, so if latter is the case with Hazard he will lose my respect.

i hope he gets sold tbh he deserves to play in a team who actually wants to play football.

We do want to play football, and contrary to what some might say we do play football. The team provided Eden with such a platform last year that he was able to be the best player in the league.

Truth is that for three years we've heard how Eden is a 'slow starter' which we all laugh off but why on Earth should he have that attitude? Why should he start every season a little bit overweight, a little bit off form.

I could go even further and ask why he doesn't put the extra work in after training ends like Frank did, like Didier did (I'm a great striker, but why don't I just teach myself how to become a deadly free-kick taker because it might come in handy once or twice), like Beckham famously did and like Ronaldo (a player who doesn't have Eden's natural talent in my opinion) did in the gym.

But I won't because that would be unfair.

Then we can kiss goodbye to top football for some time until we decide to promote Boga at least.

Hazard is elite talent, the only one in our squad. He's the one that I have trust still being around top of the game. I can't imagine what we will do if we sell him even for big bucks and try to replace him. We can easily fell into mediocrity. Go on and watch his highlights from PSG game, there should be somewhere on Youtube. He is unbelievable football player.

If Hazard magically starts performing again he's not to blame IMO. Everyone see how we can't play a couple of fast passes together ?

I am no fake chelsea fan but i was encouraged to make an account because its easyer to keep track of new posts. I am a guest on this forum so i do not see any reason why i should get out of here.

Still, your post doesnt really scream: I LOVE CHELSEA.

It says Eden should chose more wisely for his own development. Hence: focal point being Edens self interest - not the clubs focal point.

why? because an attacker might actually do better now, with an attacking coach. look at his efforts vs spurs and porto... so close,,,, he isn't kicking the ball in his own net. just exhausted, no confidence, and unable to carry the team for yet more months.

Wait, so if i did fake to be a chelsea fan i would have permission to express my opinion, but because i don't choose to be a fake chelsea fan i have to bugger off?

But he was able to become the best player in England last season under Jose.

So he has a right to displace the manager? No, absolutely not. If this turns out to be the case then he should indeed be sold, it's completely unacceptable.
