And yes, Hazard WAS injured last season. He had a spur deep in his thigh and played through the pain to help get Chelsea out of the rot Mourinho put Chelsea in. He damaged his own reputation for that. But this particular fact is grossly underreported because Hazard and his camp didn't want to...

Is that the same Neymar who Sergio Ramos has been outscored in La Liga this season? Even Marcos Alonso has as many goals as Neymar has from open play this season in the league! Neymar is an inconsistent performer who has been outperformed by Hazard in the vast majority of games for their...

Did you also lose a lot of of respect for the entire Chelsea squad with the possible exception of Willian since they were all shit then? Or do you have any special insider info that Hazard allegedly downed tools? Pretty surprising for someone who goes "missing most of the time". Player of...

I just used Squawka's advanced statistics system to compare Hazard's and Neymar's league season and it shows clearly how Hazard outperformed him in almost every category relevant to an attacking player. Since you guys love to bring up stats, let's show all of them...

Give credit were credit is due to a phenomenal player. Some of you guys talk about Hazard and CL, but how many chances has he had to shine at Chelsea in that competition? Very few. 1st season : Chelsea couldn't even make it out of the group stage. 2nd season : Hazard got injured in the...

Let's pretend that Neymar doesn't play for the strongest team in the world and alongside the best number 9 in the world and one of the greatest players in history, while Hazard plays for Chelsea under a manager who plays defensive football in big games. Apples/oranges, anyone? Neymar has a...

I can bring up advanced stats from squawka.com that show that Hazard outperformed Neymar last season in many categories relevant to an attacking player, but it's pointless to do so. And it proves nothing. Neymar scored 40+ goals last season. He was amazing. But since when did a player's quality...

The same whoscored that gives Neymar and Hazard the exact same rating last season? Riight.

Hazard completed 180 dribbles last season with a 64% success rate. The most in Europe's top 5 leagues. By comparison, Messi, the player with the 2nd most dribbles completed in Europe had 174 dribbles last season with a 56% success rate. Neymar is a decent dribbler, but he's nowhere close to...

He's pretty decent, this Hazard.

Goals against Man united, Arsenal, Liverpool (a golazo), PSG, Bayern (a golazo), Liverpool, Spurs in his CFC career. Scored or assisted in virtually every big PL game last season. I can go on, but you get the picture. Suggesting Hazard is not a big game player is ridiculous. He was already that...

And on another note, Hazard had the better season than Neymar (who was great in his own right). I know, this is a barca forum and some will be up in arms, but the fact is Neymar plays next to Suarez and Lionel MESSI, who gift-wraps majority of his goals for him. How many easy goals did Neymar...

Hazard will eventually win the ballon d'or if he moved to Spain. I'm not convinced he can do it in England and especially playing for a defensive minded manager like Mourinho. Mourinho in the big matches will park the bus and inhibit Hazard from showing his true ability. As for being more...

I know, but the thing is there are so few under 21 players in the EPL that play regularly for their clubs, at least in comparison to other top European leagues. It's not a league for young players at all. That's why the PL does 23 and under as "young". (Hazard was 23 at the start of the season...

Not a bad individual trophy haul for Hazard it seems.

It's also worth noting this is his first season playing that role in his career, unlike those players you mentioned.

:lol:

I know this might sound odd, but I think Hazard might have some difficulty playing next to Messi. Both of them like to be the coordinators of the attack in the final third. Hazard's style of play is not as similar to Iniesta's as some Barca fans are making out. He is much more similar to Messi...

Cole wasn't in the 2004/2005 team. Terry in 2005 and 2015 are roughly equal. Essien wasn't in that team. Drogba in 2004/2005 was not better than Costa currently is. Crespo was a better player than Drogba in 2005. This is the 2004/2005 team we are talking about not random names over a 10 year...

Costa, Hazard, Willian, Fabregas, Ivanovic will all walk into both Chelsea 2005 & 2006. Courtious, Matic, Azpilicueta are all roughly equal in quality to 2005 Cech, Makalele and William Gallas.
