Bale only had one outstanding season in the Premier League win it comes to goals.

At a younger age than Hazard has got near and was then bought by RM. look we could argue about this all night, you're entitled to your opinion but it's justified criticism for me.

 

I'm happy with how he is but...

 

If Hazard wants to get to the level he talks about, he has to improve those numbers, simple as that really.

Great energy n desire from chalo

Ake can def play midefield. his passes are really slick

It's a cop out to claim that Hazard can't and shouldn't improve mate, that's just ridiculous. If Hazard wants to talk in interviews about winnin Balon D'or then Nevilles critiscim is perfectly justified.

 

To complain about the small criticism with the praise he gives us and Hazard individually is just overly defensive IMO.

I'm not saying i don't think he should improve, but a lot of people go on like he isn't doing good enough. People keep saying he could do more, but he is doing more. The only season where he didn't improve on his previous season was last season, every other season he has gone up a level as a player. Maybe Hazard's best years will come in his late 20's and early 30's, like most top players.

But the small criticism comes at the wrong time, champions and double season, in the toughest league.

i haven't read all the line up predictions in this thread but I guess Antonio outsmarted everybody with this one

good to see so many of the younger guys getting a run and JT of course

I know it's done and dusted but I was hoping we might put on a real show at The Bridge tonight, disappointed so far.

Bats moans a lot..

Nowadays it makes up 75% of his game.

It might come on Sunday when we lift the trophy but to be honest I don't care. I do want us to be ready for the Cup final - that's got to be the priority now

I think that's all about how you view it, just because someone criticisies a small part of what you're doing doesn't mean they don't see what else you're doing already.

 

Neville constantly goes on about how key Hazard is and how terrific a player is but as soon as he mentions his numbers you've all jumped on it like he said he's crap until he scores more goals.

 

Like I said let's not forget Hazard put this on himself when he talks about winning Avalon D'or that in itself brings expectation.

Champions should always looks to improve and they were dicussing next season for us and discussing what could improve us so IMO it was perfectly within context for the discussion they were having.

 

Anyway we'll need to agree to disagree, I don't have an issue with something like that.

No i just think Nevilles timing is way off the mark.  Imagine if Utd were on the verge of an historic major double and started harping on about Giggs not scoring enough goals. It would'nt be happening.

John f**king Terry!

f**k i love that man!!!! TERRY!!!!!!!!!!!
