Eden Hazard

[headhunter23 70]

wasnt it his backheel assist to torres? I am pretty sure it was, although idk if it touched his boot

[1chelsea 864]

let me tell u, hater should get a rope and get he or her hang imo cos the just start some good performance before the red card. Love it

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

had nice game today, my days feels so good to finally have a winger in the squad, all the malouda non-sense bullshit is finally over, he will get better and make better choices with more practice time.

he is very promising great work-rate (very underrated) gona make all the boos turn into silence once he finds his feet, just watch guys, just watch.

[Hamilton 2,120]

Didn't see the game..

Happy that some are positive about his game, i read over here (on Belgian newssites) he had a good first half and not so good second (like whole squad)

Hopefully a good national game against Holland and a superb against Wigan..

To my honest opinion, Eden isn't being handled in the right way. Indeed, he cost a lot of money and he has snubbed the two clubs of Manchester, the medias' darlings, in our favor. As a consequence, all eyes will be on him and his every moves will be over-analyzed (in the same way it was for Torres). He will have a huge pressure on his shoulders because of that. And, the fact he is yet to be a very good player doesn't help in this sense. I mean, he has a great talent and has an expensive price tag, even though, he remains a talented player who has everything to prove on the big stage. This means he won't perform on a high level that soon, and he won't carry the team by any means. However, medias won't give a single damn about the fact he is a "will be" and will only focus on the fact he doesn't live up to his price tag. Thus he is likely to get a vast amount of abuses from medias and rival teams' fans.

To my mind, we shouldn't throw him in the lions' den like this. At the contrary, we should introduce him gradually in the first team. Moreover, as I said above, he is yet to be a top player, and he still has to prove himself in this league. All these facts tend to suggest he shouldn't be included in the starting XI right now. I feel it is unfair to write off Dani. At the moment I believe it's best to play him over the belgian : he has proved that he could be successful in the Premier League and, unlike Eden, he won't have all lights on him.

Don't get me wrong. I am happy we signed a talent such as Hazard. However we shouldn't burn steps and we need to make things right.

Di Matteo has already mentioned something like this, but we don't have our full squad available/fit so he's had to play these games. Also after the game, City fans at the ground were bumming him and saying how we have such a good player on our hands. And yes one of them even compared him to Messi

A good performance against Wigan next week will do his confidence no harm.

For some reason i have images on him doing a Crespo last minute

Actually really like that, only 2 concerns would be whether Romeu could handle it by himself, and if our players can have enough discipline to occasionally provide some width.

I actually think Sturridge is a better player to play there, he can beat players better, he's just too greedy.

You're spot on about the media, they will not care about his young age or 'if' he still has time to become a good player.

I only hope he puts in a good performance against Wigan, and no, nothing average nothing like ''oh well he did make some good passes and got into position very well and worked hard''. No fuck that shit, i want flair, i want Hazard to show some acceleration, make an impact, cause Wigan multiple problems and actually do something.

Hazard might be an outstanding player but it will only be wasted if he is not properly utilized and to be honest, I dont see any system at all. Did anyone here (judging on the first half) did see any system we are trying to employ? Or is it just too early to see.

[OneMoSalah 8,774]

Seen his backheel, lolz. He'll get better in time, had a decent first half I heard, hes for the long term as much as the short term so we should be patient.

I saw a lack of cohesion that might be expected in the first pre season game but is worrying when next game counts,

[couris 232]

So where is this world class Hazard you where all talking about?.

If he plays well against Wigan, then i have some faith in the lad, but this is getting worrying as i said a while ago. All this huge confidence on this player, 32 million pounds spent. He needs to start fucking performing, don't give me any of that bollocks that it was only Community Shield, he hasn't looked anything superior, Torres has played good are you all gonna say that was just Community Shield?, i seriously doubt that.

Disappointing i must say, and to think he wants to play CAM, there has been nothing creative about him either.

All the people who put down any comparisons to Messi or Ronaldo, please, don't even bother replying to me.

Hazard was the best attacker against City before Ivan got sent off. Go rewatch the game.

[1chelsea 864]

i said it before he is one of the best things that happen to chelsea and u who have not come to notice will do soon

Kojo... I'm new here, so don't know if theres some people trolling in here, but you seem to be doing your best...

How long did it take for David Silva to shine in de EPL? 3 months!!! What age was he? 25 at that time?

Hazard played his first 70minutes & you already write him off

I've been following Hazard since he made his debut with Lille & I can tell you he will rip teams apart, it's just a matter of time. Language, new players, new league new system (i still can't figure out a system after 5 games though) etc.

I prefer him on the 10, he's much more involved if he plays there...

I read he was invisible in the 2nd half? Is that his fault?

I've seen Mata only 2 times in the whole game & one time he ran the ball outside after a bad touch... Does that mean he isn't world class? Don't think so

my 2 cents

Hang on right, City where shite that season as they where just gelling together that season, and David Silva was still good in then.

I also think he's a much better player than Hazard.

Then all you are doing there is insulting our attack, because if Hazard was the best, you're pretty much saying everyone did fuck all the whole game.
