Eden Hazard

[Ossie the King 634]

He's not been good. Doesn't mean he's not been working.

I love Eden, but be honest.

Did he start the season in the shape he needed to?

[Styles 9,790]

No surprise to see the fired one turning supporters against even genuinely good guys like Hazard.

He comes back fat every season, but it is never brought up because he usually does the business.

I don't know if its diet,body type, or thyroid issue but something is weird there. When he retires he's probably going to become huge like Big Sam

Thank god, I thought I was imagining it.

Every year the short-sleeve shirts look tight on him and everyone laughs it off. Every year we say he's a 'slow-starter' and it's supposed to be a quirk.

To me he doesn't have that ruthless streak that someone like Ronaldo has. It doesn't mean he's not a brilliant player and a great bloke, but I don't honestly believe he's making the absolute most of his skills.

Happens to us all

He wasn't fatter than last season, where he practically dragged the rest of the team to the title.

Yeah to be fair I'm 39 and getting into Gazza mode

I'm sure the young uns burn it off shit quick though, I don't ever remember worrying about my weight until I was mid 30's

Hah, I gained about 4kg a year during my first four years of college...

It stabilized right before I started looking funny.

It's a good thing emotional fans don't make decisions. If it was up to me, and I sure wasn't the only one, Drogba wouldn't have lasted til 2012.

This all reminds me of Drogba years back, After his amazing 06/07, his form dipped immensely in 07/08. And unlike Hazard, his attitude stunk. The slap in Moscow was the last drop. Would have happily let him go after that coupled with his poor showings. There were talks about him joining Inter too and I remember Drogba not being happy. It took Hiddink taking over in 09 for Drogba to get back to his old self. I learned my lesson after that, not to write off players too quickly.

I hope it won't take Eden as long to get out of his funk though. But maybe he'll be gone by then, who knows.

What month? He was podgy at the start of 2014 and 2015 and started slow before hitting that scintillating form that led us to the title.

Maybe I'm being overly critical because of what happened at Leicester.

Yes, because it is pure conjecture. Not fact. It may well be true, but you don't know that. Hence: if it is mere conjecture, commit it to the flames. Source: David Hume, one of britains greatest philosophers.

Indeed my theory is merely built around speculation but my gut feeling is that Eden gave up wanting to play for Jose. Though I do have conflicting feelings towards that theory because Eden did show glimpses of the man who ran riot last season. The whole thing is truly a mess. I guess we will never actually know what was really going on. The media will spin whatever is said by all parties involved.

I call bs.

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

How do these guys know actually?

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Lol, how did he know?

Won't be surprised though. They seemed like they were quarreling, anytime I saw hazard was subbed off he'll walk past Mourinho.

That eva stuff came back to haunt Chelsea. I think she was pretty close with some players than I thought.

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

Why do people keep posting daily mail as sources when they spout bs 99% of the time and get lucky 1% of the time.

Not to mention people on here actually taking these things as facts

Rob Beasley: "If you watched Hazard at Leicester, if that wasn't a guy that showed no guts or stomach for the fight I have never seen one"

Rob Beasley: "When you have players like that, you are going to have problems as a manager no matter who you are." (BBC)
