Hazard is playing in "Messi" mode today.

I've been a true defender of Higuain so far, i always said that he needed these kind of teammates to reach his best. Today he's had that chance, but other than a couple of good runs he just seems too slow for the PL style of play. Too bad because i still think he is a great player.

Defensive midfielers shouldn't carry the ball ofensively at all, there are enough naturally offensive players to do that job today.

Playing with Jorginho/Kovacic/Barkley at the same time!!

Jorginho/Kovacic/Barkley trio is a complete vomitive combination.

I meant with Higuain.

Jorginho and Kovacic at the pitch together? AGAIN??? R U F KIDDING ME???

I just got here, what happened?

Totally agree, besides it's not like the team was doing great offensively before Higuain came. The main thing is that the team is very inconsistent, chaotic and really poor in execution in general, not just individually. Like i said before in other posts, Higuain's best career moment was with tho wingers constantly moving and feeding him and creating spaces for him. The thing is he only gets 1 or 2 respectable services throughout the whole game, and he's been having the same kind of service in the Argentina national Squad for quite a long time. Of course he could be more effective but it's not like he got many one-on-one opportunities against the goalkeeper, and furthermore if you analize Higuain's yesterday's game you will see that all the chances he got were created by himself almost from nowhere. And another thing that's very underrated about him, he is constantly signalling his teammates to give him the ball doing great movements between the defense but nobody seems to see that enough.

I was just talking about this game, don't get so sensitive.

With Hazard and Pedro only playing for themselves it's impossible to create scoring situations, and the defense is just appaling.

It's not just the attacking, the defending is awful, full of mediocre players with no defensive, positioning or technical ability.

Best career moment of Higuain: Insigne, Mertens and Hamsik constantly seeking their striker, and creating spaces for him, all of this under Sarri of course.

Great first 15 minutes of Hazard, the other 30 minutes were simply AWFUL

I'm not buttering anything up, i'm just stating what i saw, of course he could've scored that one but it wasn't easy, i just think you are beeing too harsh on him in this particular situation.
