Eden Hazard

[TornAndFrayed]

Top corner penalties are virtually unstoppable unless the goalkeeper is a freak of nature.

Bottom corner penalties have been saved while placed perfectly and shot with a lot of power.
I think it's too harsh to always "blame" the pk taker. A solid minority of stopped pens are entirely due to the GK jumping in the perfect direction. If you don't aim for the top corner there is always a chance that the GK will manage to save it.

Or top centre, not the centre where the gk is standing, but slightly to the left/right. A rocket top centre is almost impossible to catch.

He used to be almost automatic from the penalty spot but he has missed a lot of them lately.

Hes trying to be more like messi

Horrible first half for him against Liverpool. I can't remember the last time I saw a good player have such a massive dip in form, for such a long time as well.

Played centrally in the first half, and was as terrible as you could expect. Mou pulled him off after less than an hour. His form is absolutely shocking.

Not that it probably mattered, but even as poor as he currently is, he can have a moment of magic. What is a midfield of Mikel, Ramires, Willian etc supposed to do?

Uhm, yeah... I'm not sure what your point is?

Its perfectly simple. The chelski side out there today is beyond gray. At least Hazard could have created a moment of magic, the likes of Ramires, Mikel, Willian etc surely cant regardless.

I disagree with Willian - he can do smth nice at times.

But how on earth did Mou make Diego Costa lose his love for the game is beyond me... look at the guy, he didn't give a shit. Zouma at the end (when he made that terrible cross) looked around with a face that read: C'mon, I'm not a fullback, I ain't supposed to do this stuff and what the hell is going on.

Fabregas actually made some nice passes at the end but noone really wanted to do smth with it.

The thing is; he didn't. Not even remotely close. Oscar, while not exactly brilliant, to say the least, made something happen when Hazard went off.

Yeah i know he didnt, alright, he was awful. But thats not my point either.

No wonder Mourinho hooked him.

 

[dakt]

Seems like deeply unmotivated.

 

[MaxY]

His market value was at least 100 M, what do you think it is now?

Alexis Sanchez with us in his 2nd season.
