We rely on him too much, reminds me of Mata a couple seasons ago in that he was our only creative outlet.  Right now, we're playing Watford and have 3 strikers on the pitch and we're doing nothing...Hazard isn't even on the bench, and I'm worried about what options we have?

Against Spurs, Hazard was clean through and it looked like Fazio had tripped him, replays afterwards showed that Fazio had actually gotten the ball. The thing I noticed is how Hazard made no protests and just got back up and on with the game, most players would have tried to cheat and made a huge deal about it. Fair play to Hazard

 

Just a shame the media won't mention this but if one of our players dive they make a huge deal

Has he signed a new contract yet? I'm worried about the comment Jose made about losing Hazard due to the kicks, although he's a brave player, there's only that much he could take if he get kicked 10 times every game.

Without doubt the best player in the Premier League right now. Mourinho has undoubtedly contributed to that. We've got to win big trophies to keep him.

Amazed he hasn't been injured yet, I don't think since George Best has a player so constantly been kicked to sh*t.

Alexis Sanchez might have a thing or two to say!

Like 'Yeah, Hazard is the best'

For me at present there is very little between the two!

Sanchez has been carrying that United team so it's far more noticeable with him, much like De Gea looks impressive because he makes more saves.

 

Still Hazard is probably our most important player when it comes to opening up defences, marginally ahead of Cesc. If you had a player of the season poll now though it'd easily be Lampard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aguero.

Sign the f**king contract!

Sanchez? United?

Sign the f**king contract!

Need to make him an offer he cant refuse...

I can just imagine eden walking into the office, with roman sitting on his chair stroking a cat, with two big, evil looking Russian guys standing either side of his chair.

...and a self closing door.

I'm sure the club will do enough to keep him. I just can't imagine the team without him at this stage, such a joy to watch in the moments where he's able to play football without opponents turning it into 'kick the Hazard'

Aguero (Unstoppable, no one is close to him in the PL)

I think you're underrating Hazard to be honest. I'm not surprised though.

 

Aguero for me is the clear form player this year, but I don't think Sanchez has massively outperformed Eden. He's asked to do far more than Eden but they're both performing at the same level in my opinion.

Happy birthday Prince

24 today, if he keeps improving at the same rate he's going to be one of the best players we've ever had.

How am I underrating Hazard if I've put him alongside Yaya and Silva????

 

Sanchez after Aguero is the inform player this season. That doesn't mean I'm not rating Hazard, it just highlights how mega Sanchez has been considering its his first season in the Prem.

 

Hazard is still only 24 and will reach another level in the next 2 years.

Hazard better than Sanchez for me hands down. Alexis did nothing at the bridge, hazard won the match

Although I'm not basing my statement completely on that. Watched a lot of Sanchez at Barca and there's no way I'd have him over Eden

It's just your nature to overrate City players I think. 

 

Where's Cesc on that list? 14 assists doesn't match up to Di Maria?

 

I'm quite happy saying Aguero has been the best player this year, but below him you've got players like Hazard, Cesc, Sanchez etc. It's not a major issue I just think you're underrating our players and overrating others - we are top of the league after all.

Said it before, bar Aguero I wouldn't take anyone in the PL over Hazard. Such a unique player who is only going to get better with experience in this league.

No way is Sanchez ahead of Hazard. 

 

Hazard has successfully completed more than 300 more passes than Sanchez this season with a pass success rate of around 88% compared to Sanchez's 75%

 

He's a more complete attacking player, he does more in the grand scheme of what he brings to a side... Very surprised that someone who watches him with regularity would seemingly undervalue him so much. 

I feel once he gets a taste of winning the prem (this season) I have no doubts he will committ to chelsea if he hasnt already by that time! I personally dont think he will leave, especially not for the reason of being kicked too much. What are defenders in other leagues going to do? Let him glide past without stopping him, I doubt it. I've been checking up on Thorgan aswell and this season is too early for him, but he looks highly talented and looks like he could provide the answers to the right winger so many people question we need. Two Hazards in the starting 11 really would be something special. Hazard has the chance to become a chelsea ledgend, I hope he takes it
