Yeah, Hazard has been on a different level this season and is now the best player in the Premier League. Love watching him play. I can see Madrid going all out for him in the next 2 years or so. Interesting to see if Chelsea can resist it.

Another thing is Fabregas in terms of "created chances" is helped by the fact he is the set-piece taker for his side and Hazard is not.

I don't think you've ever watched Hazard play before.

Aguero hasn't been good for as long as those other players have. How many games has he even played this season? 13? I certainly won't put him on par with Matic but in the next category with the others. I do agree with you on Matic, though it's too soon to be handing out awards.

That's rubbish. Oscar is showing his best ever football this season for Chelsea. He's playing at a higher level than he's ever played. The fact you think he was better in his first season shows you don't know what you're talking about. Excluding a 3 month period under Di Matteo, Oscar wasn't...

Better than David Silva? I'll like to have some of what you're having. As for Alexis, I think it has more to do with style of play than leagues. He's playing with way more freedom in Arsenal, also in a role similar to his national team. Soldado was a top striker in Spain but has been garbage in...

Blame Wilmots for that and the former guy Leeskens too. He needs to be sacked and replaced with a real tactician unless Belgium won't win anything with this generation. Belgium's national team can't even play football with all the stars they have. It's just a national team of individuals with no...

True.

Neymar can't do half of the stuff in that video.

Good at showing off against the weaker sides but does he ever turn up in the big games?

Okay, fair enough.

(i) And what do you base that of, Gotze being a better playmaker? I don't see it. Hazard's playmaking skills are up there with the Nasri's and Silva's of this world. (ii) Hazard played on occasion as a false nine in Lille, so he's played there before and he even did it in one game for Chelsea...

Incredible. And he hasn't been the designated set-piece/corner kick taker for Barcelona over the years, right? Because that distorts the assist stat.

Neutral here. The control Xavi and Iniesta gave Barcelona against even the strongest teams in Europe is gone because of the decline of the former and what looks like the steady decline of the latter. Barcelona were unable to dictate the tempo of the game vs PSG and Madrid. Against Madrid...

His goal-scoring record of the past 3 seasons is 22, 14, 17. That's impressive for a pure winger. Besides, he is more of a creator than a goalscorer, so it's difficult to judge him for goals, that's why Chelsea signed Costa and Remy.

He was pretty diabolical

Messi is not what he once was in terms of dribbling. He lacks that.......agility of his younger years. Still amazing but not god-like. As for Hazard, he's a dribbling machine. One of the top 10 players in the world. It's only a matter of time before Real start sniffing at him. I'm sure Chelsea...

He was a force of nature today. It's "only" Maribor but his dribbling ability and touch is only surpassed by Messi in world football, IMO. Also, on another note, I hate how we have to compare our players to every other teams' players all the time. Why can't we just appreciate top players? The...
