It wasn't like our supporters were booing him or going over the top. Just the usual "awws" after about the constant misplaced passes. Tony Gale made it and like the fans were throwing beer and popcorn at the players or something.

It was a bit more then awws i'd say. Also they did boo Fabregas and Hazard when they came off. Tbh i don't know what Tony Gale said as i was watching it on a Belgian channel.

Just thought it started a bit early and i just don't think it helps. It's not like players need confirmation when they play a poor pass or lose the ball.

The support at home has always been less since it became a tourist attraction.

Hazard and Fabregas were not booed 

[Hamilton 2,120]

He was bad today and deserved to be changed, just like anyone else..

imo Conte could waited until at least 75th min

funny thing is average ratings on SofaScore he was by far our best player with a 7,5

well there is also personal pref in the mix. Some might see him spinning and turning and think he's doing his bit, but others (like me) pay more attention to the end product (which also include linkup play).

For me the last two games were just not good enough...  yes, he lacks support and frankly the team is not playing well at the moment, but he could be asking more of his teammates and I just don't see that often enough - showcased in the last 2 games.

Maybe it was due to the mics around the pitch or something but I swear the Bridge was like a cemetery last Wednesday.

Eden will unfortunately never be a leader on the pitch, that’s why it’s surprising he’s our captain of national team.

In other news, Real lost again earlier.

yeah but was referring more to taking the initiative. Say, make the play and pass the ball to a teammate at the right time, in a good position and then if that player cannot keep it going, then it's his problem. When his spinning and turning does not produce a cross, a shot, or even a pass to a teammate, it's difficult to claim he lacked support. Yes, better movement around him might have helped opening up options for hazard himself, but then again, he's the key player making the big bucks and that leads to more pressure on him.

Watching on TV there was definitely noticeable booing when Hazard and Cesc were subbed off. Not sure whether it was aimed at them or the manager though.

A lot seem to believe it was that our two most creative players were being brought off so early. I’d lean more towards that than them being booed.

Useless discussion whether or not he can/should be criticized...  He's not a robot, so also can have very bad games.

Our biggest problem is that when Hazard has an off-day... there is no one to push us forward and step up! We're **** Chelsea. We can never be so dependent on one guy!

Well the truth is that we have been dependent on one guy for large parts of this decade. Before it was Drogba or Lampard, then it was Mata and now it's Hazard. Without these players on top form the team always struggled.

[Jase 43,479]

What are the odds that his mind is already in Madrid?

[LukakutoStamford 779]

I’ll be glad when he leaves this shit club. He’s had to be the guy for just about his entire stay at Chelsea with next to no help. 

Hell, I was better than most of the tossers on this team. 

Seriously the best help he’s gotten was Cesc, and an over the hill Pedro, and twilight of their career Drogba and Eto’o.

Hazard can’t play LW/CAM/CM/False 9/Shadow striker at the same time and yet that’s what is happening.

Hes def best in a 3 up front.Last season the front 3 were free to swap,change,roam all over,wherever they could be most use. Now cause hes not a striker and his GPS is in the shop hes lost and not much use to nobody MOST of the time.

Of curse he has amazing games - but then so did Oscar,Schurrle,Square,Willi,Pedro.

Dunno WTF was wrong with him today but the lad just didn;t have any enthusiasm. I know he needs support (and we need creative players to give it to him) but Ive always thought a great player should be able to turn on and change a game.

[Fernando 6,485]

Well at lease we can get a lot of money for him this summer and spend it on Caroll! 

[Unionjack 7,531]

Dont know if I'm on my own in thinking this but I think that our very recent link to Icardi,apparent interest in Sanchez plus how Eden has played lately means that hes told the club hes offski come the summer.

Either that or the clubs pretty sure of it.

Its always a sod losing a top player whoever,whenever,whyrver it is but it lets you realize the team carries on.

And to be very honest as long as whatever replacement does a good job and offers some creativity,assists and goals then I'll live with it.

Just as long as its LOADSAMONEY!!! And we spend it on blinkin players!!!!

Genuine question, if he leaves, will you still support/follow CFC?
