Do they all put a Chelsea training on at the club? Some come in a costume?

Amazing.

Brilliant run by Costa to distract Mertesacker and open up space. Torres would have probably got in his way

Mesmerizing run from Hazard and that is one of the most blatant penalties and dumbest challenge one will ever see.

7 - Eden Hazard has scored all seven of his PL penalties. Of players with 100% records, only Dimitar Berbatov (9/9) has more. Specialist.

As a side note, does anybody know who our 2nd in line is to take penalty kicks. I suppose one of either Costa or Fabregas?

Was hoping Fabregas would take that penalty, if only for the fun of it.

Penalty kicks: How do you guys feel about Eden's style of waiting for the keeper to commit and placing it compared to Frank's style of picking a spot and blasting it in?

P.S. Im not aiming for an anti lampard campaign here. Im just curious. Personally I prefer Lamps's style but Eden's been 100% conversion rate so who am i to judge...

Eden's style takes a lot of nerve, confidence & technique. If one of those 3 qualities are off, impossible to score the penalty. If the qualities are all there in a consistent way, like is the case for Hazard, the penalty is a 100% success guarantee.

So I prefer Eden's style IF a player has the quality to do so.

In all other cases, don't even bother, just pick a spot and go for it.

[Special Juan 27,093]

Takes big balls to use the style he does but he executes to perfection and rightly is the man from the spot.

[DH1988 1,193]

Forget the penalty, I can't look whenever he steps up, prefer me a Luiz style penalty, 56 yard run up and smash it.

Its quite funny I watched the game with a few Arsenal friends yesterday and all through the game the phrase "Just tackle it him now" was coined so many times and its a classic case of 'sofa seat syndrome', Hazard has the most unusually brilliant style of ball control and dribbling. Just when I think he is to be tackled or he is going one way he suckers the players in to either a foul or goes past him, its brilliant to watch and funny to see fans saying its easy to tackle him why did Laurent give that penalty.. watch Hazard, I genuinely thought he was going to be right where Laurent put his leg for the tackle, almost a Ricardo C anticipation but he switched it, again, suckered me in too! Classic Eden.

His gaze was set at the GK and he only had a slight glance at the ball before placing it. So many things could go wrong when one opt for that technique.

The commentator said only the best players can nail such a method and rightly so.

[lionsden 4,689]

It's only a matter of time I guess. Jose didn't buy him to be a squad player.

You can never be too sure. He bought Coentrao for 30m euros as back up to Marcelo. And I hope to God that you are right because Azpi, for all his great defensive output, is truly shocking going forward. Luis offer far better balance between attack and defence.

prefer power but ABA anyway but Anelka

I prefer Eden's style. It's so beautiful and requires more skill than just blasting it in somewhere.

[Hazardinho 88]

The best!!!

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Think of how many times opposition defenders slip and fall when Hazard twists and turns. Seems to happen everytime. Never seen a Chelsea player do that to the opposition before. Not even the likes of Zola or Robben.

Indeed, and he never missed since he used that look at keeper instead of the ball kick.

Indeed, he is very very tough to defend to.

Excellent player that hazard.

If Messi and Ronaldo didn't exist or stayed at the level they were around 2006, no one would be saying Hazard isn't playing well enough consistently.

If he can get a further level then brilliant, but if he can give us a decade at this current level then that's more than good enough and we will win many trophies because of that.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Best dribbler in the league.

[papito 8]

Mirallas too . Both belgians . Is Messi better than both ?
