Eden Hazard

[The only place to be 11,313]

Despite all the shit that's going on this season, this guy's progression has been an amazing bright spot. He's approaching Zola-levels of play when it comes to his ability to take any ball, control it, beat the first man and then pass it to a player in a way that puts them in the best position to take it forward.

What really impressed me yesterday was a moment in the first-half when he tracked back about 40 yards to tackle Holtby on the edge of our box, and then brought the ball forward himself. He's such a hard-worker and that's something that wasn't nearly as prevalent at the start of the season. He provides a directness that we simply don't have anywhere else on the pitch and he's already one of our most important players.

I just want this season over so I can start looking forward to what this guy can do next season.

Wait, wait. Forget the back heel for a second, anyone else notice the super-human burst of speed from Rami when that happened!

I wonder what time ramires would do in a 400 meters race. Must be impressive with his pace and stamina.

Made two very bad decisions in the build up to hitting it over the bar. He should of shot with his left initially and then once he checked back he should of crossed for Torres.

Yes or take another touch to be more balanced as he had lost his balance.

The thing is he's so good we have no choice but to use him so much. It's a gift and a curse. Even Ferguson made a comment expressing surprise about how much we've used Hazard, Oscar and Mata this season and that they keep performing.

He was amazing last night. The most talented player on the pitch by far.

You have source for the Fergie comment, curious to read it.

Just saw this picture of Hazard training today:



Looks like he should be fit for the game .

I don't think going for goal is a bad decision, yeah someone could have got a tap in but not like he took on a difficult shot, it was a sitter. Just rushed it, got off balance and skied it.

Why did he head straight down the tunnel after being subbed?

Why is there a big yellow chicken behind eden?

Because he really likes chicken?

He was angry when is substituted and I hate Rafa for that

Well boo-hoo lol. I mean he was injured, we should applaud that decision because we'll have him for Villa. 3 points there is more crucial than it would've been last night to be honest.
