Eden Hazard

To be fair Ronaldo is the perfect mix of hunger and technique.

Like Has he ever shown up to preseason overweight?

Hazard stay coming back fat for some reason. I know he is shorter and a different build, but the best of the best don't let their body suffer like that when off. Very Ronaldinho-ish, and I feel Hazard is more in line with that personality type. A laid back dude

Slight disagreement on the bolded part as I think that if Ronaldo had as much technique as messi does, Ronaldo would've been better than messi - he's got better physique and is more driven.

Agree on Hazard being a bit on the laid back side, though I'd put Ronaldinho in the "wasted talent" category despite all the awards won. Jose actually helps Hazard develop in that area.

He needs to practice his passing and develop his vision. He has costa and pedro on the other wing who makes runs, he needs to put through passes to him like messi does for Neymar.

It just feels like if his dribbling isn't working, he has nothing else to offer in attack which isn't true. His technique is too good for this.

How many fast dribbler that is also a passer?

I can only think of one player. It will take a while for hazard to develop messiesque pass

That's why he should be looking to improve and not be satisfied and remain at his peak of last season.

Finishing, passing and making off the ball runs are what are remaining to put him on the ballon'd'or best 3 podium

Ffs what a miss

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

His worse game ever in a Chelsea shirt imo.

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

His confidence is below zero. Will be interesting to see the reaction now.

[termninja 5,290]

It's beyond me what has happened to him. You don't loose your confidence just like that, something is on his mind. Could be wanted to leave (and we kept it silent) or got completely disappointed when he compared himself to Ronaldo and Messi and lost motivation. Sudden changes like this are...very rare.

[yuvala 2,167]

Terrible performance overall.. a few good runs but apart from that.. he's in REALLY bad form.

He's not a wasted talent. He just decided he was done playing at the top level a bit earlier than most others. He plays for fun now.

Also, Hazard needs some time on the bench I think. It will do him good.

[sutro 1,026]

Something is wrong, he's mind is not with the game for some reason.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Maybe hype is getting into his head...talk of Ballon D'or and all these comparisons to players M10 nd Cr7 who will never be as good, maybe his motivation gone down as well, champion of Engand and best player in the league, what else is there to fight for?

Oh and he is automatic starter so he knows he can play like shit bar scoring own goals and he will still be in the team. Could actually be detrimental for us if he starts against Arsenal playing like this when others are seemingly recovering a little bit of confidence.

At 26/27... Too early...

But not just that - his lack of discipline and dedication negatively affected his performances at the highest stage - Esp for Brazil.

He was actually better when very young - I saw him at gremio and played with him for fun a couple of times too-I'm from Porto alegre as well.

He could have done more.

Don't think hazard is like that, but hazard is no C.Ronaldo either imo.

[Belgiannutt 3,201]

Don't think resting him is going to do much. I think he just needs to power through.

Needs to pick himself up with the little things. A good pass, a good dribble, a good run and just go from there.

Gotta be painful for him atm. Going from his best season to the lowest point of his carreer in a matter of months.

Hazard looks low in confidence ffs we need him back to his best
