Eden Hazard

[Ripsta]

Hazard never looks up. He just puts his head down and starts running. Coleman got his tactics spot on. He defended the center and just let Hazard run into his defenders.

Fantastic ability on the ball and good enough for someone to build a team around however he needs to learn to pass.

Wrong, Hazard's problem is he passes too much. When he gets near goal rather than take a shot he'll try and pass the buck to someone else, even when he's in a better position.

People like Bale, Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar etc. They take the chance if it comes their way, he doesn't, which is why he can never really impose himself on a game as much as them.

On his day he's unstoppable and only rivalled by Messi, but he's just not ruthless enough, and the consistency has deserted him over the last 12 months too.

He looks good when teams like Hungary give him a free pass to run at their defence. He is not an elite player.

He passes when he gets near goal or wants to use someone for a one-two. In other words after he puts his head down and starts running and then runs into defenders. He never plays the early pass and as we saw with Deulofeu and Lukaku last season Lukaku lives of that.

He's a great dribbler and very talented but a bit greedy.

Kanté: When I saw Eden Hazard here at Chelsea I said to him "Maybe [you] do not know, but everyone [at Leicester] thanks you"

Supposedly Conte wants to use him more centrally this season. This should be interesting, I always liked him best central.

 

[BenRobbins]

If Conte gets him firing with Costa and the added defensive stability he will bring then i see chelsea beating both the Manchester Clubs to the tittle.

Hazard is unplayable on his day.

Another elite season inbound. Think he's finally done with Chelsea after this season will have given them 5 seasons yet they haven't improved their team. Off to Madrid next summer to replace Benzema.

 

[DonAK]

Not with Madrid's incoming transfer ban.

Unless it somehow disappears lol. Perhaps PSG instead then.

Replace Benzema with Hazard? They don't even remotely fill the same role in a team.

fantastic match against west ham today .. was everywhere .. unstoppable when the ball is at his feet .. last season he was off but Conte is a fantastic coach , we wil see the best of him this season

 

[TotaalVoetbal]

Yep. Elite season inbound like I foresaw. He should score 20+ goals in the League alone.

 

[antonnn]

Apparently he had a back problem which lasted a large amount of last season, which is why he scored 4 in his last 5 games at the end of the season and is looking good for us again now. He could have his season that'll push him closer to the elite level this year, I really hope so.

Another elite performance today. He looks fit & hungry. He'll score 25-30 in all comps.

He is not a scorer, 15 goals at max.

won't be mad if he proves me wrong, but that's highly unlikely.

Conte has converted him into a killer. He could've easily had a hat-trick today. Go watch the highlights.

He's being asked to do less by Conte unlike Mourinho and focus on being a forward.
