Myself 793 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Believe it or not but most of the fans prefer Mertens instead of Hazard for the game tonight.rightly so, hazard has been poor for belgium for a few months now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weckerz 3,781 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Mertens at Napoli has been dead average this season so far, fans that prefer him over Eden know nothing of football. iseah100, Belgiannutt, The Skipper and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukakutoStamford 779 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Belgium doesn't need Eden against BiH to win tonight. Depending on his form he could however be helpful or inutile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Believe it or not but most of the fans prefer Mertens instead of Hazard for the game tonight.I'm guessing Hazard is not a fan favourite in Belgium. What's the general feeling towards him and his performances over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike 373 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 TBH, when I watched the world cup, miralles and mertens were better than hazard and work better in the system currently employed. Similar to lukaku and origi...Hazard the better player, but under wilmot's belgium, i think the other two are more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on his form he could however be helpful or inutile.True however, it's an Euro qualifier and with so much at stake, questions will be asked if, as unlikely as it is, Belgium fail to win as to why one of your best players was not involved. Most managers don't like answering those kind of awkward questions.Actually I take the bolded back. just checked and belgium are playing a team that has players like Dzeko, Pjanic et al away from home. They will do well to win here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the general feeling towards him and his performances over there?Well to say his not a fan favourite is taking it abit to far, afterall they all know him as the chelsea superstar.They blame him of being lazy and not caring much about the NT, not giving his everything when he plays.Its only a matter of time tough, im convinced sooner or later the belgian people will see the so called "chelsea hazard" and then he will be the biggest fan favourite lionsden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilmots was/is a great motivator and uniter, but lacks tactical prowess to make the team really tick. mediator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg the world cup. There isnt nearly enough speed of execution at a consistent level throughout games. This is certainly not Hazard imo.

ephreak 42 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Played very nice today against BiH, atleast in the first half. Challenged most of the time and looked very comfortable with the ball as usual. In the second half he lost the pace a little bit but I guess it is because of hos toe injury earlier this week.I´m just happy that we have him in our team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Belgium's main trouble in 2nd half .. they didnt get him on the ball often enough commilin, Laugh1ngMan, Coop and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Problem with Belgium is they have alot of players that overestimate their own ability. Vertonghen is probably the biggest culprit. Despiadado.Maleante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediator 2,026 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Problem is that Wilmots really need an offensive minded assistant manager. He is the perfect one to motivate the players, but he is poor to make them play with each others. There is no alchemy at all (like Stingray said).It's like the Chelsea's team of 2 years ago, great players but no link up play.
