Hazard

Anyone think he had a very average/poor game against Everton?

He didn't seem very interested and the only thing he did was the own goal..

I do like Hazard but I do also feel he is overrated, he'll never get to the heights of Ronaldo or Messi but he needs to step up this season if he wants to get in the Ribery Robben category

Views?

He may not be Messi or Ronaldo potential but he is just as good if not better than Robben was for us when he was at Chelsea..............people have unrealistic expectations of Hazard and don't see the bigger picture...eg Hazard worries and occupies alot of opposition players therefore creating space for our other players to exploit.............he is by far one of our most important player alongside Costa and Fabregas

Let's swap him for Milner. He's good at covering the wing

Considering we paid about £30 million for Hazard I'd say he's been a great signing and any club wanting to take him off our hands would have to pay us at least double that now.

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing Hazard tried in the number 10 role as we have the likes of Schurrle, Willian, Salah and even Remy to play in the wide positions.

We would be too vulnerable with Hazard at no.10 and Fabregas in midfield
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not necessarily. It really depends on who plays wide.

With Hazard at number 10 you'd need at least one hard worker in the wide positions, so at least one of Willian or Oscar wide. Then again we nearly always play with at least one grafter in the wide positions to help press etc.

Hazard in the number 10 role would essentially function as more of a split striker behind Costa and I could see him scoring plenty of goals there, especially if he forms a good partnership with Costa.

had two good games against burnleyand leiceste? did you not watch the games?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ugh not this again nick.

He scored against Leicester, created a few chances, and generally was the only positive player going forward in the first half. Burnley I thought everyone was fantastic, he contributed a lot for the 2nd goal, driving the team forward with a run and then laying it off to Ivan.

Seriously Nick it comes across sometimes that you hate Hazard. I'm no fan boy of him, as my comment suggests I do believe there is a lot of work for him to do, and I do believe he needs to be rotated. However to discredit his previous two games when he played well, is just kinda bitter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
he was poor against leicester imo and average against burnley in a good team performance. good run for one of the gaols.
but no i don't hate him, i think hes an exceptional player but he just seems to turn it on when he wants and its not good enough for a player of his talent. Like I said for lille he seemed more effective.
All this people marking him and him working of the ball just doesnt fly for me, he is an excellent talent but doesnt use it to his full potential. Unless the balls near himhe doesnt want to know, but no I love having him in my team trust me.
