Nic! 301 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hazard is much more threatening down the middle than down the right. Very good first half. That being said, his second half (the 15 minutes he played) was really not good. And I think he knows it. RDM made the right choice subbing him, maybe tickle his ego a bit for the game against Reading.But overall, you can't expect more from an attacking midfielder than to serve two easy goals. Be it all in the first five minutes, or in the whole 90 minutes. Thus, MOTM rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 An overall performance which we will forget soon, but 3 points is what counts today. Roll on Reading as Ollie said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidator 5,176 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Pleased with every player today (especially Hazard) except Torres. I would have defended him and always will defend a player if they are putting in maximum effort but it was clear that he was lazy today. He would not chase down or pressure defenders, make decent runs regularly enough, his passing was poor and he just gave up when he gave the ball away. Totally, completely not good enough. We can praise him all we want for his goal against Man City but if he is only going to do that sort of thing once a month then there is no point having him.Today it was not about confidence for him as a problem it was laziness which is not good enough. Play Sturridge until Torres starts to give a fuck and stop making lame excuses for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea? 892 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 What's the point playing the game then ? Should we be winners because of our Champions of Europe status ?Come on hat's not how football works, today that's game plan against game plan and tactical choices to try to win the games from both sides.that comment wasn't entirely serious. I just wanted Danny rather than Ryan starting. But I liked the way Ryan played on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made some good runs and in term of pressuring defense, with RDM we are not a pressure team, we will soak up the pressure and counter, so there is no point for torres to chase defender.

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 RDM could have started Danny as the right winger but instead rightly he kept him on the bench.Positive signs of him being strongly considered as the second choice striker.If that was the intention then well done Roberto!
