Has Eden Hazard peaked?

[JimJams]

What's Sky Sports?

 

[Relentless]

Hot air balloon racing.

 

[Stevencc]

Quidditch is one too if I'm not mistaken.

Only people who watch him live can tell you just how good he is (which is none of you bar me and that sausage puller Johnny). He's been woeful this season but we're 5 games in....are we really going to forget how good he's been for 2 seasons on the back of 5 bad performances?

He'll never reach the scoring levels set by Messi and Ronaldo....it'll be a while before anyone comes close to them, Eden is in the top 5/6 for sure though.

I will accept that for him to be regarded as one of the top 3 he needs a big season and an equally as big Euro Championship for Belgium next June.

Top 7 in the world in order;
Messi
Ronaldo
Neymar
Suarez
Aguero
Hazard
Loftus Cheek

He's definitely a top 10 player in the world. He's still creating chances while in shit form - he'll come good this season.

 

[JoshBCFC]

Eden Hazard is gifted, and in my opinion has the potential to be world class. I don't think he has peaked, I reckon his peak will either come this season or next season. He will always be a very good player, but he's quite a way behind Messi and Ronaldo IMO. Watching him last season, although he didn't particularly set the world alight, he performed very well, and probably deserved Player of the season (50/50 with him and Aguero) .

Potential ? Huh

He is world class player and if pushes Chelsea for CL and domestic trophies , he will be D'or contender . He is having a little set back but even in bad form he was good enough to score against Arsenal , but then again who is not so lets wait till Christmas . He will pick up his pace.

 

[allouso]

Fantastic dribbler and there are maybe 2/3 players that are better in the world at that. His end product is good but there is still plenty of room for improvement.

I don't think of him as one of the best players in the world though (top 10), and i doubt he'll ever reach that level.

TBH I haven't seen much from him in recent times that are on Bale/Suarez's level...

Sure recently he has been quiet but did you see his preseason goal against Barcelona ? Going past defense like that is Messi level ( Ofcourse not entirely but that run was pure ecstasy ) .

It happens to big players . IT is not fair to judge him just because he is having little off form time . He will start clicking again just it give a little time . Before winter comes he will be in form and in spring he will rocking clubs left to right with his dribbling just when we need him the most !

 

[Anaconda]

Hazard is quality but he won't get to Ronaldo or Messi's level as a player

Ah that goal he scored against their youth defence? That was a cracker to be fair.

 

[Whitechapel]

GOAL ACCREDITATION PANEL Chelsea’s 2nd goal against Arsenal was in fact an own goal (Calum Chambers) & has not been credited to Eden Hazard

So Calum Chambers has scored more goals for Chelsea this season than Eden?

 

[Tilbury]

Only a gooner would celebrate an own goal against their team.

 

[Whitechapel]

Who's celebrating?

 

[Relentless]

Well given you talk about Hazard so much anyone would think you can only get an erection when you talk about him you'll probably be celebrating into a grapefruit for the next three seconds.

 

[Whitechapel]

No such luck, it's a flop...just like Hazard this season.

 

[G-Dragon]

Like Sanchez?

 

[Whitechapel]

Like Sanchez?

To be fair, Carlos Sanchez was a flop last season too.

 

[Whitechapel]

Last time Eden Hazard scored a league goal:

• Jürgen Klopp was Dortmund boss
• Xavi played for Barcelona
• Eva Carneiro worked for Chelsea

That's 15 games!

What the hell has happened to him?

 

[Pagnell]

His excitement at prospect of winning the Ballon d'Or got the better of him.

Ospina has a better chance, and that's saying something.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

What the hell has happened to him?

Willian, Azpi and the GKs aside, the same could be asked of virtually every other player in the first eleven.

Begovic has been pretty crap, hasn't he? Or just not up to Courtois/Cech's level.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Begovic has been pretty crap, hasn't he? Or just not up to Courtois/Cech's level.

The latter I'd say. I think he's been pretty solid - made some good saves and few, if any, glaring errors. He's obviously not as good a keeper as either Courtois or Cech, but then there aren't too many who are. As a number two I think he's done at least a reasonable job - even if Courtois had been between the sticks during this run I don't think our points tally would look markedly more impressive.

 

[Whitechapel]

As a number two

Teehee!

 

[Destruction]

He's stopped playing for that bellend manager of his. He won't be at Chelsea next season if Mourinho still is, transfer request in summer IMO.

 

[Whitechapel]

So what's going on? He was once touted as the 3rd best player in the world, I noticed last night that he was just walking around the pitch showing no desire or passion. He HAS to go in the summer doesn't he?

Is it when the thrill of big money becomes the norm, and you find yourself playing for a passionless club that form slips?

Or was it a falling out with Mourinho? Lack of confidence? Boots too small?

He was much better last night than he has been, despite getting booted off the park at every opportunity.
