Eden Hazard

Hazard is not fat. He is in fine physical shape. Just because everything didn't come off for him yesterday was still full of energy and pace.

[Chelsea? 892]

He's fattER.

He was always good in strength and balance, something that surprised me last season seeing how "un-physical" he looks.

His strength and balance were always good and often underrated due to his size. However I found them more impressing than ever this last game. Belgiannut apparantly also noticed this.

Lol..

That's funny thing to get worked up on..People change appearance over time..especially the face (take a look at Lampard then and now for instance)

It doesn't mean fitness is lacking.

over a period of 10-12 years and in one pre-season. plus lamps was not a winger whose best asset was his trickery and pace.

In the first 15 minutes everything he tried failed, but after that he grew into the game and played fairly well.

Don't think so. He was average at best. Some of the things he did was good like his flick-ons and link up play with Cole but there were other times and quite a number of them where it was frustrating. He was overdoing and over-complicating things on the ball. Tried to do too much with the ball and not keeping things simple enough as well as at time holding onto the ball a tad too long when he could have released it earlier to keep the attack going or relieve the pressure defensively (when he tracks back).

Lol I can guarantee that Hazard has less body fat than 99% of people on this forum.

Sorry, meant over each season...In any case you can't judge fitness from facial appearances, unless the guy has a pie for a face.

Mourinho on Hazard—"I'm trying to adapt Eden into everything a top player should have as he's a top talent." (1/2)

Mourinho on Hazard—"But it's one thing being a top talent & another being a top player. And I want him to be a top player." (2/2) [sun]

I am hoping for a great season from Eden ,he has the ability to be amongst the best in the world without doubt and Jose will make him even better,he has everything a player needs to be one of the worlds best and I would not swap him for Bale.

Really hoping that this will be Hazard's season, hoping for him to be atleast among the top 5 scorers in the league. And Chelsea's top scorer.

That is a bit too far imo, remember Suarez, Bale, RVP, Rooney, Mata, Aguero, Dzeko, Jovetic, Negredo and a lot of other good strikers, I don't think he would make it.

Is he gonna be our #2 penalty taker after lampard?

the way he slots in penalty is cool, the idea of using vision to trick the GK. however it will defintely be spotted and identified by rival team GK

And how exactly will the GK counter that if hazard chooses his direction when the GK jumps. Unless the guy is the flash he has no chance, ballotelli takes them the exact same way. They can't stop his either.

[Goemaere 131]

In my opinion for eden to really shine he has to have the number 10 role with lille he was phenomenal on that spot.
