i think we should all stop taking stan collymore seriously since he's a sensationalist braindead git

It's amusing how apparently no one gives a sh*t about Drogba and co "downing tools" for AVB or Scolari!

I gave a sh*t about that too, but as this is a hazard thread it seems relevant to speak about hazard

True, when he was running around with hooligans in France, thinking he was a war correspondent, it was probably time to start ignoring him.

What a load of crap. The entire team was poor last season, are we too assume that every single one of them downed tools ?

Not to mention Hazard played with an injury for the majority of the second part of the season. 

You are welcome to assume whatever you want to assume. From my perspective, it looked like yes, the majority of the squad did down tools.

TIL what downing tools means. Never heard that before

Except they were our most successful players ever and some of our worst manager records ever as opposed to our most successful manager ever and a

squad of players who never had a sniff of the title until he showed up.

But hey, Hazard leaves CFC with 3 more BPL titles and a CL crown then he can ditch any new manager with a terrible record without any of us giving a sh*t I can promise you

Tbf under scolari, those had 1 more league title than hazard and no champions league.

I dont think they downed tools though either, sometimes managers just stop getting the best out of players. Thats football.

Strange request but has anyone got the picture of him winking? It must have been a photo shoot because it wasn't during a match.

Thanks it advance.

One for the w**k bank? This obviously isn't the one you're looking for, but it's something:

 

The Prince of Stamford Bridge.

Great performance today, finally he is dribbling and shooting after, was so fun to watch him.

Seem's like he wants to shoot more these days, i'm glad to see it. He was great today, if this form continues all season then he could be set for his best yet for us.

downing tools? looks like it but what's the problem? the manager only has himself to blame for that, acting all tyrany like he's above law, not everyone is JFD you know..

Best news ever for Hazard is Thierry becoming Belgian ass't Coach, boy will he learn some from a true master scorer...

Are you sure he won't slip something into Hazards drinks once his Belgium duty is over. I don't think he'd want to improve Hazard too much given his gooner blood. :]

Unless you need advice on dogging or bashing women up.

Thanks for the link Ploks, found the one I wanted in the end but appreciate the effort.

The team goes as he goes. His teammates clearly feed off him.

What a player! and finally starting to shoot more! 

He's looking brilliant so far, but I'm also loving that Conte is quickly take him off when he starts sitting back and showboating. I think he needs that reminder that although he's easily our best player, he doesn't have a permanent right to play if he's not giving it 100%.

Here is Henry working with Hazard, I think Henry will really improve Hazard, with his finishing and mentality, he will teach Hazard to always go for the kill and take responsibility himself rather then pass, he really could help Hazard go to the next level.

When I think of war correspondents, I think of the likes of Marie Colvin - courageous people who are willing to risk their lives for their job.

When I think of Stan Collymore, I just think that you should NOT give a mentally ill person untold amounts of wealth and publicity. Just ask Axl Rose. 

so how much will we get for him when real madrid inevitably approach us for him next year?

I do hope you are right, but he probably wont be seeing that much of him to make a major difference?  Like I say though I do hope you are right. 

i'm not a football mastermind at all, but it seems to me like hazards role is more like messi's og ronaldo's these days than it has been previously. they don't track back nearly as much as hazard did under mourinho, but they work very hard for 4-5-6 seconds (at least messi did under guardiola) right after the team lose the ball. if they don't win it back, this surely means that when they recieve the ball again, they are higher up the pitch ie. closer to the goal and thus having a bigger chance of upping their productive metrics (assists or goals).

whilst hazard has always been above everyone else bar maybe aguero talent wise in the league, when he has gotten to clear cut chances he has often passed three-four-five players, instead of maybe 1-2 now. i think this has had an effect on his finishing ability just as must as him not 'shooting well' or that he doesn't shoot enough, the boy could just be too tired to shoot (or shoot well).

i argued with my chelsea mates one day that i found it very hard to argue that hazard is better than lets say aguero if the latter scores 30 goals a season and hazard 'only' scores 10. after all, goals controls matches more than anything (having messi or ronaldo, 1 goal in 1 match on average-players, statistically means that the oppo starts 1-0 down every game (yes i know it's not that easy, but...)). however, if hazard were to bump his goal tally up to 20 on decent efficiency, then we're talking top three in the world with probably only ronaldo and messi clear ahead of him.

it's going to be a great season for our belgian, at this point it's only a question of how great. he's imo already been our motm 3 out of 3 games, and at this point he's looking so fit and good i wouldn't doubt him getting 25-30 or even more motm's to his name.
