Eden Hazard

[Stingray 9,441]

Not too difficult..slight negative remark (sometimes true, sometimes not) on a belgian player and an assorted choice of belgian users (not all of them, most are genuine and write great posts) will mob you immediately. Sometimes accompanied by remarks about nationality stereotypes, as witnessed by myself.

*Not criticizing , just observing a behavioural pattern.

**The phenomenon is most likely to present itself in the "ex blues" section.

Back on topic:

Been said multilple times, but Hazard needs to up his game, been a ghost so far. You can do it lad :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Ah thats a bit vague and multi-interpretable. I do feel addressed, you can say so btw.

I still think saying Eden is overrated makes you a really bad blue considering his performances for us. Belgian or not.

So yes, who you talking about mister?

Eden has a jewfro! Who knew?

Seriously, Hazard is one of those guys who doesn't know he's good looking. Or he just doesn't give a shit about his appearance. Always has a scraggly, patchy beard and messy hair.

Doesn't he have 3 kids and a wife? Maybe he just doesn't care anymore. Like how fathers usually get the "dadbod" and stuff

Maybe i was fishing for some reactions

if we are going to win the league Hazard needs to be a level above then what he was last season, he wont have to carry us this season though as we have Pedro, Costa and Falcao (who i think will score for fun for us) if Costa's hamstrings decide they want to play up again!

His wife probably destroyed him.

"Eden you are not giving enough attention to me and the kids, I have sent a request to the club asking them to let you train only once a day so you could take me to exotic dinners and lunches more often. You can thank me later at dinner. Oh and I'm happy about your new hair. "

I never knew there was a thing called a "jewfro."

Hazard is just unlucky that he is playing in the Mess/Ronaldo stats era, where everyone is obsessed with goal and assist stats! Wingers these days are judged on how many goals they score, which is bizarre. If Hazard played in the Ronaldinho/Figo era then no one would be talking about how many goals he scores and just judge him on his football ability which is how it should be.

I have heard people say Hazard is just a good dribbler but doesn't have good end product, which again is just ridiculous, Hazard is a creative player his main role in the team is to create, last season he created more chances then any other player in the PL, he was also top 3 in key passes and final third passes, which shows the end product is there, he also got a decent amount of assists, but the problem I have with people so obsessed with assists stats is that assists don't tell the whole story, and doesn't necessarily mean you have good end product, because as a creative player you dont have full control of whether you got an assist or not, its also down to your team-mate to put the chance in the back of the net, which is why I always look at chances created over assists.

I agree Hazard will never score 40-50 goals a season like Mess and Ronaldo, Hazard isn't obsessed with scoring like them, he has like 1 or 2 shots a game, Ronaldo has 5 or 6 shots a game, Hazard is a different type of player, its like Man United fans who use the fact that Scholes could control games as a reason as to why he is better then Lampard, that is ridiculous, just because Lampard wasn't that type of player doesn't mean he wasn't as good, to me its as ridiculous as saying Aguero isn't as good as Drogba was because Aguero couldn't play with his back to goal as good as Drogba.

for me Hazard is a better all round player then Ronaldo and Neymar, but this is the stats era where because Hazard scores less goals then the other two so the statement I just made becomes such a ridiculous statement, where most football fans would just laugh, that is why after Ronaldo and Messi's goals stats die down I really hope no other player for a long long time comes along and starts scoring 40-50 goals a season, just so this stats era can die and we start judging players by actually watching them and not only look at how many goals they score.

Hazard won the pfa award....

I would take care of his wife

I think this actually stinks. And I'm afraid its the sort of attitude the team has in general. We lack a killer instinct ac goal scorers and in the final 3rdl. Instead of wanting to go out and rub oppositions nose in it and rip them a new one they just want to score a goal and sit back.

I dont know if this is something that Mou has trained into them or if it comes as part of being trained to defend at all costs. Or if its just the type of players we seem to be buying. We just seem to umm and ahhh when it comes to the final crunch.

Yet we bloody know they do have it in them cause there was days we put a few in the net. WTF happened?

Spot on!!

[Duppy Conqueror 1,526]

the main body of the interview is about him never seeing himself score as many as Ronaldo and Messi and that`s fair enough..those two are the players their teams are built around and the supporting cast is there to provide them with as many chances to score. and lets face it in Spain there`s only 3 or 4 teams who even challenge them to a game.the rest of the league is like public training sessions against their reserve team or worse.

I do think we should have one player who roams freely. Eden and Oscar would be my candidates. but it would take a lot of changing the team to put him in a position to score the high number of goals they score. he`s more of an assistant to Costa. I would like to see him float around and attack different areas because I think it would drag the enemy defenders around and create openings for others but I only see him scoring a maximum of 30 goals in a season.

as for the sometimes I score one goal and I think that`s enough...I think the Belgian players in general suffer in interviews because they are too open at times and don`t explain themselves fully because they may not understand how things they say can be taken.

i take it as him saying he needs to learn to be more ruthless if he wants to score like Messi and Ronaldo do and what he doesn`t say is but I see that as enough for my own personal glory..he lays balls off for others instead of going for his own limelight.

what would Ronaldo or Messi say if they were so open? I have mirrors on my ceiling so I can watch myself wank over my greatness after scoring a hat trick all by myself against Celta Vigo..who knows..

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Getting his excuses in early, then.

In all seriousness, of course he's never going to match Messi on a goalscoring level. Nobody ever will.
