Exactly what I said in another thread.

To me Willian gives so much more than Hazard, not just his attitude, but the desire to win the ball  when he doesnt have it, and his all round effort at the moment is head and shoulders above not just Hazard, but a lot of the team

Hazard needs to leave the club ASAP because its clear he lost his desire to be a Chelsea player. He wasn't great in the 1st half, you might say he was okay, great is not the right word here.

Hazard is fit, his injury was decades ago and wasn't even a huge injury, and he has been involved in games for weeks, its not like he is a player that just came out from a 6 months injury and is playing his 1st or 2nd game. People are not talking about Costa because Costa has been our best player since Mourinho left, while Hazard has been shit for the whole season.

His head is elsewhere and he is definetely leaving next transfer window.

He had two injuries. Why are you jumping on the conclusion at this point. Your posts are like 100% black 0% white. Ignores everything that doesn't fit the narrative.

He was MOTM against Man Utd

Was kicked out of the game but kept going. His manager tells that he still has fitness issues. Yesterday he played good in the first half but come dead in the second which is 100% fitness issue.

Stick to these little facts and wait a couple of games more to see how he does when he improves his fitness.

1. Hazard a disappointment once again. He must be sold. In any case, he does not want to play for Chelsea any more. On Monday, he said he would not refuse an offer from PSG or Real. He is convinced he is the new Messi. Let him go. Good riddance.

2. Fabregas and Pedro: useless, so useless.

We only have 2 good attacking players: Willian and Costa.

Pedro had his best game of the season... tracked back very well defensively

People want to continue with the status quo of the season and will always see a match that way.

Pedro was massive in parts that don't get picked up on. At one point, he tracked back, made a defensive effort, passed the ball on and took off, sprinting down the pitch, only for the ball to be passed backwards.

We could not keep them at bay.
For me the best defensive performence ever was Jose's 0-0 against Atletico in the semi of 2014. Atletico might have scored with a fluke from 40 yards out, but they could not penetrate.
Yesterday it was PSG v. Courtois for long spells of the game, just like it was Barcelona v Cech in 2012 (when we were down to 10 men).
Under the circumstances we did have our chances but the ball favoured their efforts in the end.
Because I 'm a regular live bettor, in the last twenty minutes one should have placed a bet for "PSG to score the third goal". The clue is "do they have possession and reach the keeper ?" and yes they did. But I did not even look at it and so I 'm unable to tell you the price that was offered.
I don't know about the replay. Can be done but difficult. Football has changed. If we were in the sixties and if we were 2-1 behind as we are now, people would say to the French "come on guys, forget it". But sometimes it works (Napoli and PSG again).
Hazard in my opinion was not useless and certainly a better option than Oscar, but maybe he was tired - maybe he even signalled to Bruce, I don't know.

As conspiracy theories go, how do you know the club itself are not instructing him to "take it easy" ?
The fact is he does n't score. But he does n't shoot free kicks and even penalties not any more.
When Costa was not scoring I was a lot more worried.

I really don't like them but I am very envious about their pure strength in depth they have at their disposal. Their bench last night was strong, but that again needs to be addressed in the summer with the correct signings.

Yep. Pretty envious of their football to tell the truth. Dominate possession, every player they had on the pitch from the CB's to Maxwell the fullback, and every midfielder and attacker was comfortable on the ball. They passed absolute rings around us for much of that match. Used width like crazy which is always effective against us.

When you look at just the starting XI's from last night there isn't much between them. They're way better in midfield and their approach to the game tactically are what makes the difference. PSG are set out with loads of confidence and play attacking football. This is how Chelsea should be playing with the talent we have.

Of course it helps when FFP isn't an issue and you can afford a near world class player or at least a top one in every position plus be able to bring in Cavani off the bench.

I find the notion that we're going to keep a clean sheet at Stamford Bridge a very hard prospect to imagine. PSG ran us ragged today, we were quite lucky to be remaining in this tie.

 

..but remain we do. We've overcome stacked odds before in Europe, 3-1 Napoli rings fondly.

Nah we played them again I don't know in two/three weeks ? that is a long time

It is going to be completely different game. If we can get hazard to get back on form, I fancy us beating PSG and go through to the next round

      Willian is so comfortable on the ball always has time and composure - at the moment I'd be far more concerned if he was contemplating leaving than Hazard

Willian is a really good player but when on form Hazard is at completely different level.
