at Chelsea?
Who was better?
I actually think Pulisic. He seemed more consistent than Hazard was at first and also was a more consistent goalscorer than Hazard in his first season. He would have probably been top goalscorer if not for injuries and Lampard not playing him consistently.
What do you think?
Pulisic first season vs Hazard first season

Nowhere near Hazard at his best, 100%, but I don't think Hazard in the first season had a game as good as Pulisic Hattrick vs Burnley. I don't think Hazard, again in the first season, could have had the impact Pulisic had coming on against Liverpool at Anfield.

I still remember Hazards debut game against Wigan. What a performance.

He did come on and changed the game against United in the FA cup.
The Pulisic hat-trick is/was indeed very memorable and great. However, watching it at the time - I'm not sure I was seriously blown away by the performance.
Whereas, Hazard had plenty of performances that year which showed a greater amount of talent.

I do have high hopes for Pulisic. In fact I think he can go further than Hazard - especially if he becomes a prolific goal scorer.
But individually on their day and throughout a season. I would pick Hazard in his 12/13 season over Pulisic right now.

Easily Hazard , if you have watched him regularly, like most Chelsea fans would have.
Pitty, Puli’s career at Chelsea has been a start and sops due to injuries. but has been involved in some impressive performances. Hopefully he’ll be as good as Hazard

Hazard didn't have the consistency until his second year though. Off the top of my head, the only Hazard moments I can recall from 12/13 are his debut, the goal vs Prague (I think), the goal vs United and that's pretty much it. For the most part, I remember Mata and Lampard being our best players that season.

Lampard and Mata massively benefited from Hazard that season. I wouldn't say Lampard had a better season at all tbh.
Besides the games you mentioned, I also remember he had great performances against West Ham, Liverpool, Tottenham, Stoke.
He had a quiet period between October and December, but otherwise he was very good.

Didn’t have consistency? He got 24 assists in all comps.
Too early to judge pulisic, looks a real class act but don’t want hazard comparisons just yet

Pulisic is going to be a really good player for us. But people are forgetting some of the games where he had absolutely no impact at all. He has talent and he will improve but it's far too early to compare him to Hazard.
