DYC. 7,542 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He's neither top 10 in football or basketball so I can confirm that you and mrblueguy are wrong on both account He'd make the top 10 in the Mr Booty competition though. lionsden and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Not claiming he is, or claiming he isn't. I watch far too few German or Spanish games. Few better players than him in England thoughThe only players I rate higher than him in the league are Aguero,Silva,Toure and Di maria. he's definitely a top 5 player now that Rooney and RVP have gone downhill.

Madmax 9,219 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Goals are always enough to replace performances. For example it doesn't matter if he scores 2 goals a match and be a passage for 60 mins. I want that from Hazard too even if it means he scarifies a bit of constantly making amazing runs only to have the move ended up wasted due to different reasons.That is ironical because the most common complaint people have about Hazard is that he only unleashes his full talents in an isolated patch or two during games. The boy can't win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polo7 3,496 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 On his day Hazard is definitely up there with the best in the world. Its just he doesnt hit that level consistently enough. He will though, he is still very young compared to Ronaldo, Robben, Ribery etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's unlikely to become a goal machine as that's just not his game as he doesn't seem to possess the finishing ability and ruthlessness of players like Ronaldo, Bale, Reus, Neymar et al. He should focus on maximising his strength by becoming more creative and for this his decision making,passing (especially diagonal ones) and crossing will have to improve and I could see him evolving into someone like Robben which would put him right in the elite category in the future. He's added the aggression and directness to his game this season which is a big step in the right direction. sutro and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I thought he played really well today considering he was a second fullback and rarely saw the ball in attacking areas. He played a much bigger impact in the game than City's star attacking players Aguero and Silva and those guys saw much more of the ball. Scary to imagine the damage he would have done if we dominated possession in advanced areas like City did today.

xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Was really bad till the assist....lost many balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I thought both Eden and Cesc were completely wasted today doing defensive work most of the time. Why the hell do we choose to play without the ball when we have so many great creative players that are good on the ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The pass was immense for the goal. Overall I thought he tried to do a little too much at times. Should have passed instead of trying to take on the whole opposition team. One of the better players today though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell we choose to play without the ball when we have so many great creative players that are good on the ball? Riddle me that. We would have beaten them if we actually came out to play. I'm sure of that. Not from minute one but at least as the game evolved. We couldn't even control the game with 10 men.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Was poor first half I thought, but improved in the 2nd half and gorgeous pass for Schurrle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borriske 330 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Based on numbers only, his dribbling is probably already (second) best in the world. Take the game today for example, where i considered him to be anonymous for large parts of the game. He still completed 7 dribbles, and during his last 5 matches for chelsea averaged around 6 a game (whoscored). That is insanely high. Players like robben, ronaldo, bale, silva, aguero haven't exceeded 4 or 5 this season. When Di Maria had a wordly against germany, he reached 6. The only one who can present the same numbers is (unsurprisingly) a little argentine by the name of messi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 It's worth pointing out that Hazard was anonymous in parts mostly because of how we set up to play. i.e little to no attacking ambition in the final third. With that taken into consideration, I he played very well with the scraps he fed off of and was brilliant in the counter for the goal.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 He was mediocre - needs to improve as he only did something useful once city had 10 players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 So frustrating that we play so defensively with one of the best talents in football. He was completely isolated but was still our best player.Not sure which was better. The switch of play or the cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
