Eden Hazard

If we wanna keep Eden, (and even if we dont end up keeping, in fact even MORE important if we lose him) we best start benching Alonso and BUY CHILWELL (I am convinced on him, the HG thing tips it to dead even with Firpo, as we do (or will) have HG issues)

Only player Eden went truly out of way congratulate was Ben

and we all know he wants Alonso benched, per those new articles

Quite hilarious how carried away people are getting. We arent buying a LB without selling one...

Alonso, after striker, and maybe Willian (I say no) is the biggest structural weak point on the team. He was okay as a wingback. Wingback is not an option. All the best teams have dominant fullback play. Look at Shitty. Mendy goes down and the wheels come off (I do admit Fernandinho is a huge part too). Barca, Liverpool, Juve, Real the past 5 years (again, Marcelo has been shit so far this year, and has really hurt them) Bayern (injuries have forced thier hand at fullback to rheir great troubles) all, when at best form all have superb fullback play.

We do not have anywhere near it.

And you think we are going to sign a left back when we signed 2 in the last 2 years first and foremost? No chance.

CF is the biggest issue, Hazard is nowhere near as influential as a false 9 than he is at left wing. A good striker that can bring goals and get Hazard back to his nautral position is first priority. Even then in defence that whole left side can be gotten at, Luiz at LCB and Alonso at LB.

I think Rudiger plays more on the left at CB than Luiz. I did say AFTER CF btw. But it is a large issue. If Emerson is so poor he cannot even come close to benching Alonso, then he needs to be sold.

We will never win trophies to any significant degree with Alonso playing as a trad LB. I will be shocked if we win the EL or FA Cup or even the Carabao Cup with him there. He is simply nowhere near the class of player we need on the left.

Would be still possible ronhet rid of alonso for some.money as the footballing world has not entirely figured out what a fraud he is

I think Real still wants him. We were crazy to not take their £45m this summer. Some on here said we should hold out for £55 or even £60m!.

Chilwell will cost £50m, Firpo 45m. If we sell Alonso for even only that £45m, that's only a £5m net spend for Chilwell, and even break for Firpo, for a huge upgrade (and those are both 5,6 years younger too)

LB and RW (because they both are left-footed positions) are hard as fuck to find great quality for, far harder than RB and LW, simply as left-footed athletes are far rarer than right-footed. Rarest of all are ambipedals, they are gold if they are also great footballers.

“101 goals with this amazing club is something I will never forget. Now me, the fans and this club want more. I will try to be a legend like Terry, Drogba and Lampard."

- Eden Hazard to Sky Sports 

“We showed great character against Manchester City after losing to Wolves and today we did the same. We lost three days ago against Leicester and we needed to respond on the pitch and we did well. When we can fight together we are a top team so we need to do it more often.”

What I dont get is WHY cant Eden play like tonight all the time?

He played like a proper leader! You could see that he was totally up for the job and lead by example. MAYBE it was because he had made his mind up and decided to stay??

Lets just hope it wasn't a spur of the moment comment that he got caught up in the interview and he has finally got that fence post out of his arse and told the club hes staying!

Its will be then down to our sodding board to rebuild the majority of this team and give him some team mates of an equal standard!

Honestly mate, I have lost all faith in our board. I literally do not know what to expect from one transfer window to the next. It's hit and miss every season.

I feel the same bud

But we know that we do still have that ability to pay up for players we want.

We just need to do it more often and get in quicker. But till we have a real DOF I cant see that happening.

Super performance from him yesterday, I wish he could show the consistency to play like that more frequently. For me, it isn't about him scoring every game to make him a quality player - it is about consistency across 90 minutes. He was awesome from start to finish yesterday; comfortably his best performance of the season as far as I'm concerned.

I do hope Sarri is just playing him as a forward to make a point to the board... "Hey look, my strikers are shit so I'll play Hazard here unless you get me another striker in January". I don't see his long-term future as a CF, however he CAN do a job there away against teams that aren't scared of actually coming out to play football. Against teams that park the bus, it's a total waste of Hazard, IMO. 

Either way, well played and well done on 100 (well, 101!) goals, Eden. I like to be proved wrong, but to properly convince me he needs to do it in the next game, and the game after that, and so on. Not every game, because I accept he's human, but if he is truly world class then we should be seeing performances of that ilk on a more frequent basis, in my view!!

He was brilliant yesterday but wouldn't say comfortably his best performance as he was sensational against Cardiff and thought he was excellent against Southampton too. Cardiff he got a hattrick and was on another level.

Regarding playing Hazard up front, I disagree. I think Sarri will target a striker but I don't think he is playing him up top to make a point. Giroud does not suit his fluid and pressing style, while Morata is not good enough and Sarri has given him chances. When he was at Napoli, he started off with Millik as the CF and when he got injured, he played Mertens in a false no.9 and it worked excellently for him playing with Callejon, Insigne and Mertens. I always thought when Sarri took over,t hat he eventually would try Willian, Pedro and Hazard as he done a similar thing at Napoli and with the way he plays you can see why he persisted with it, despite it not working against Leicester.

If he gets an assist on Sunday that is 10 goals and 10 assists in all comps before the New Year. Would be fantastic achievement.

Well 10 of each is a good return for Eden but the way he started, its frustrating because he went on a run of not scoring in however many weeks after scoring 8 goals at the beginning, he could have had a lot more. This inconsistencies infront of goal have always been an issue for him. Its not all what his games about but to become the best player in the world, which is now his goal surely, it has to improve.
