Eden Hazard

[RhonddaBlue88 14]

I thought he had a very decent first half against man city! Considering it was his first game for chelsea in england against top opposition! Made some very nice runs and his movement and awareness was top class he'll be a major threat for any club this season! Reminds me of a certain. C.Ronaldo in his first few weeks at utd! He's eager to impress but should just worry about his game rather than impressing people! He's going to be a big big player for us this season and many seasons to come aslong as barca or madrid don't come knocking!!!

I can't blame him, but apparently the media can. I know you're gonna say "who cares what the media think" but at the end of the day, not all players are JT, they will be affected by the pressure.

And what makes you think that Hazard won't be able to handle it?!

About John Obi Mikel, and to an extent Hazard.

It's clear the double pivot needs sorting out, and you're saying that now but you didn't before.

I still think Mikel is a good player, a couple of poor pre season games wont change my mind.

And what about Hazard? it's clear he was the only real threat for us yesterday.

I've always said we need a deep lying playmaker.

I dont think we should bash him to much for his second half. He was pushed to far to the left and it just didnt suit him. Ive seen some people position him as a left midfielder in a 4-4-1-1 formation and his second half showed that its wrong. He need to stay higher uo the pitch and have more room to cut inside. otherwise he will get lost in the game.

Cech

Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole

Mikel

Moses - Oscar - Mata

Hazard

Torres

Perhaps that would be a formation to consider? With Hazard abit to the left behind Torres.

I find that borderline racist. He's obviously being targeted for no reason at all. They were ready to make fun of the guy regardless of what happened in that match, pretty obvious. Really sad. Not for Eden, I mean the journalist. Hazard will be fine after he adapts, not like he looked like a bum lol.

Also he actually didn't even dive, he did get tripped up as evidenced by the replays.

EDIT - Nvm, that's for his hilarious backheel and not the dive. Fair enough then, I thought it was for his dive. Cherio then, dont mind me.

No one gives a shit what they say, but why does it matter what we think?, we are thinking of Hazard. At the end of the day he's getting the shit, I'm actually really happy we signed his brother, as it really helps him settle in and it's someone there for him. I don't know what goes on in the dressing room, i think it's only Mario Balotelli who could deal with that grief from the media constantly and huge pressure every game if he doesn't perform, as Balotelli doesn't even care about anything, i bet he thinks he's had a good match every match.

There are a few others who do better than usual when they're getting stick from the media. Terry is a great example, to a lesser extent, Drogba always responded very well whenever an opposition manager called him a diver (hi, Rafa).

On the plus side:

Completely fooled De Jong there.

That is just way too offensive and top heavy. Midfield will get overrun and leaving Mikel only to protect the back 4 is a disaster. Can already see what would happen when he is left alone there...

Yup. Was looking it again and had that backheel worked, Ashley cole would have had a direct run into the box. Both city defenders were sold there.

[Severinb 309]

Just read on twitter he has a thigh strain he will miss the netherlands game but should be fine for the game against wigan!

[mediator 2,026]

We still don't know if he will miss the friendly game of tomorrow.

Wilmots should give him the rest, Kompany has no injury (only slight) and he gets rest..
