OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Reckless and loss of concentration was his problem early on, i don't think ive watched a game and thought this forward is giving Luiz a torrid time. Basically his biggest opponent was himself.Remember against Man United under Carlo when he went right through the back of Shrek and Hernandez, thats the rashness I was on about. Still Shrek and wee pea pod deserved it because they play for United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HNKS 508 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 How can anyone say Hazard is shit or that they prefer Kalou??? Its mental, I thought he had a great game today, made some decent passes and runs. He hasnt played much with our starting 11. Im not saying he is the best player in the world, but the guy is class and he showed it today. Cant wait for Mata to return, he can speak Hazard's language!

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I don't care if he wants to play there, Hazard just can't create for others when he plays centrally because, by nature, he instinctively looks to dribble first and not pass.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 He did ok (i first typed great, but need to look out for those guys saying that's overrating) but not everyone in our team is ready to play at the same speed football like he does. Mikel and even Lampard do slow him down when they are trying to build with him.You could see with Marin coming on he's more understanding this kind of play, they both gave fireworks working together at some point.So looking forward to the coop between Mata, Hazard and Marin, and with a Torres in shape this should give some fireworks.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 not true at all! and you will see that this season!As I said he always looks to dribble first almost instinctively. He can always do so on the wing, but he will find dribbling very hard in the center especially against teams that defend in numbers. Even he realized that in yesterdays match and started to drift out wide in the last 15 mins after only managing to create a single chance through the middle (The foul he got on the edge of the pen area at the start of the second half)Care to explain why you think otherwise instead of just stating that it's not true?

Hazards passing is good, but not exactly brilliant. I think he lacks Mata's vision and ability to play passes that fool the defense. In France, as in our first match vs the Sounders, he did very well in the hole because his close control allowed him to get past the midfielder marking him and run on the defense. I don't think he will be able to that in the PL especially against teams who put 8-9 players behind the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONI. 1,291 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Definitely las night was his best performance since he came to Chelsea, he has the right speed as well as his dribbling are good I believe that it will help Chelsea next season so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 his link up play and movement has really surprised me, look at 5:09 that's a great example for it. If he does this with the likes of Oscar and Mata they will play him in. It's the Barca type of play, very clever and defenders just cannot handle it by any means.

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 He is going to win us so many set pieces if anything... Lets hope Him, Lamps and Mata can convert them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
