List "your" twenty that are better than him presently.Afofungbemu.

Asinwin! You no see list abi na guinea-worm dey your eye?

When ninjas were listing him behind Messi and Ronaldo una no talk. When I say he is not among top 20 una say I be hater. FOH

dicksj93:
been promisin not to reply u buh ama break for u....
In summary.....u need to find out wah these words mean: hate,opinion n fact. Check wah d al mean den hala back ..esp. fact n opinion

I don't need to check for zilch! Hazard has done nothing to lay any claim to be one of the top 20 players in the world. If not for EPL hype how can a player that has not performed in any international competition for club and country be running for Balon D'or?

In 3 years of Champions League football Hazard has only scored 2 goals from open play. FACT

Hazard is good but massively OVERRATED. FACT

A40:

Hate? Based on what? Just stating facts! If Hazard is considered the best in your league no problem at least we can now see why no EPL team is in the Final 8 of any European Competition its not rocket science because the standards have sunk so low

In no particular order

Thomas Mueller
Cristiano Ronaldo
Lionel Messi
Arjen Robben
Manuel Neuer
Neymar
Karim Benzema
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Robert Lewandowski
Marco Reus
Carlos Tevez
Kevin De Bruyne
Mario Goetze
Luis Suarez
Jerome Boa-TANK

Antoine Griezmann
Paul Pogba
Cesc Fabregas
Sergio Aguero
Javi Mascherano
Alexis Sanchez

I can go on and on gee! No matter how many fancy dribbles or flicks Hazard does he needs to perform on the International stage for club and country else he remains a local champion and perennially overrated by EPL and especially Chelsea fans

No be so dem hype Cahill till breeze blow and foul yansh open? Hazard has a very long way to go to make the top 10 players never mind top 3

This is laughable.

Firstly, you have to state the criterion/criteria you're using to churn out these names. You don't just drop the names of your favourite players and expect me to take you serious.

Secondly, you don't expect me to take you serious when your list of the current top players in the world excludes FIFA and UEFA best XI starters like Sergio Ramos, Thiago Silva and Lahm.

Thirdly, you don't expect me to take you serious when your list fails to identify the best players in their respective positions. David Alaba is unarguably the best left-back in the world, what a Joker like Boateng who isn't even the best in his position is doing in the list ahead of the Austrian is beyond me. Diego Costa have been better than Lewandowski on both the domestic and European scenes for the past two seasons, why is he not on the list?

What have Griezmann and Reus done or achieved to make your list? If you're looking at current form then Memphis Depay, Harry Kane, Lacazette has to make the list of current top players.

How on earth would a shrewd pundit consider Pogba ahead of Kroos and Modric in a listing of this sort?

So my oga, this list is inconclusive, is bereft of objectivity and smears of bias.

Get your stats right, Hazard isn't about flicks and dribbles, the lad backs up his skills exhibition with numbers.

The Belgian grabbed 20 ligue 1 goals and 15 assists in his last season with Lille. Notched up 15 goals last season with Chelsea, which saw him finish as the second best player in England behind Suarez. This season, he has found the net 17 times and has provided 10 assists in all competitions.

Hazard is hardly a forward, this is what you lot fail to realise. The lad plays primarily as an attacking midfielder and spends most of his minutes outside the box, so why would a shrewd pundit expect goals and goals from him? The likes of Silva, Ribery, Nasri, Ozil, Carzola, Di Maria etc are also attacking midfielders, please tell what are their stats saying compared to Eden's?

You keep saying that we are the ones comparing him to Ronaldo and Messi, but then, that's a half-baked truth. The media, players and pundits across the globe are the ones mostly drawing up this comparison.

Check up Hazard's wikipedia page to see what managers and players have got to say about him.

Eden is an amazing footballer to watch and he deserves every accolade coming his way, just don't take it personal.

Ariani:
All dis anti chelsea can neva admit say hazard is d 3rd best player in the world nw bt evryday na different players dm go dy use to compare my ED10

Saying Hazard is the 3rd best player in the world is taking things a bit too far.Top 10 in the world would have been arguable but reasonable.

Hate? It seems you are inebriated! Every single player I listed there has been better than Hazard! These are players that have dominated their league and did well in Europe unlike your local champion Hazard

Diego Costa have been better than Lewandowski on both the domestic and European scenes for the past two seasons, why is he not on the list?

Whether you choose to take me serious or not is the very least of my concern.

I have listed these players based on their performances not just in domestic competitions but in Europe as well.

Diego 'no goal no assists in the Champions League' Costa better than Lewandowski? Yes in La La Land maybe

Thiago Silva has not been outstanding and you are relying on past rep. Ramos and Lahm would have made the list easily but they have suffered lengthy injuries this season

Alaba no longer plays LB at Bayern these days since Bernat arrived. I would also have put him on my list but left him out so they don't say I'm biased towards Bayern

If you are not aware of Boa-TANK's dominance at his position this year then you have not been paying attention. He is the most important player in our backline. A well-known fact in any Bayern forum atm

AirborneLacer:

What have Griezmann and Reus done or achieved to make your list? If you're looking at current form then Memphis Depay, Harry Kane, Lacazette has to make the list of current top players.

Like I said my list is not based on local displays alone. I can't put Lacazette, Depay and Kane on my list because of goals they scored against Guingamp, Twente Enschede and QPR. I can make an exception for Kane but sorry the others don't cut it

Its not even about who I left out its about me telling you there are a truckload of players better than Hazard. So the more players you add you are essentially doing my work for me

AirborneLacer:

How on earth would a shrewd pundit consider Pogba ahead of Kroos and Modric in a listing of this sort?

Pogba has definitely outplayed Kroos and Modric this season. Kroos has been invisible since the New Year

Modric has been out for a large chunk of the season. You are the one name dropping. I watch these leagues every week

AirborneLacer:

So my oga, this list is inconclusive, is bereft of objectivity and smears of bias.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. Hazard is not among the top 20 players in the world as far as I am concerned. Shikena

Ligue 1 was an inferior league at the time. So that is not saying much. If you take out the penalties from Hazard's 17 goals I wonder what we would have left

Of all these numbers you are reeling out the only one that stands out to me is 3 years in the Champions League only 5 goals. Only 2 goals from OPEN PLAY for the so-called best player after Messi and Ronaldo this is too POOR

AirborneLacer:

The likes of Silva, Ribery, Nasri, Ozil, Carzola, Di Maria etc are also attacking midfielders, please tell what are their stats saying compared to Eden's?

Hazard is a forward primarily a LWF so leave this your story for tortoise. Pretty much every modern forward spends the majority of their minutes outside the box so this is not saying much tbh

Nasri and Carzola? Please how are they elite

Oezil, Ribery would always provide more assists than Hazard even in their sleep. Plus they are proven in International competition unlike Hazard! They are also not the designated penalty takers of their team. To put it into perspective Hazard has scored 60% of his goals from the penalty spot! Assuming he was not his side's designated kicker he would have scored 2 goals in 3 years of UCL football

AirborneLacer:

You keep saying that we are the ones comparing him to Ronaldo and Messi, but then, that's a half-baked truth. The media, players and pundits across the globe are the ones mostly drawing up this comparison.

Its one thing to compare afterall Stanley Okoro and Marko Marin were also labeled the next Messi its another thing to pronounce megedefegede like Hazard is the 3rd best player after Messi and Ronaldo which I have only seen on NL. That is utter bollocks

AirborneLacer:

Eden is an amazing footballer to watch and he deserves every accolade coming his way, just don't take it personal.

I have never said Hazard is not a good player. My point is he is Overrated and lacks the resume to compete with the absolute elite in the game

How does one explain this kind of illiteracy? You must be cursed it seems as it is only an asiwere that can understand this prattle you just typed. You type like a Bariga olosho

How can you prove Hazard is better? Better yet how can a stark illiterate like you challenge me to anything? Go and use your decimals to enrol for night classes you blathering idiöt

Shadowbean:

Don't mind the asinwin. He is about as articulate as the Tasmanian devil

They both play the same wing, just that Chelsea fans give the excuse that - Hazard plays more like an attacking midfielder! Story for the gods!

They are both wingers and they both cut from the left to the right like the median nerve!
One scores more goals and is always a goal threat whenever he is with the ball, while the other ------- ermmm...... he just dribbles and dribbles! Besides Brazil used the same formation Chelsea uses, and Neymar played exactly the same wing as Hazard, and yet oh yet, Neymar was one of the best players in the worldcup! while hazard was the worst!

But on a serious note, they are both good players, but Neymar offers better services! He can unsettle a defence in split seconds, while it takes Hazard forever! Hazard is just a ball clinger!
Against a side with top defense, Neymar is more valuable than Hazard - using PSG and Atletico Madrid games as an example, Hazard was shiit against this two sides, but Neymar was superhuman against them!
Thanks!

if u are judging hazard base on this ,u need to consider how chelsea plays as a team when faced better opponets,chelsea always play defensive game against better team and wait for counter attack to penetrate. do you think neymar will perform better in this condition? even he has once criticised this game plan undet mourinho.

See this empty barrel you want to bet? Loool! Have you eaten today? Nwanne abeg comot for my circumference you reek of poverty! Both physical and mental

in football when you want to compare players there are criteria we use. saying a player is better than another player simply because he played well in world cup isn't enough . The best players are chosen based on the present form and season. if it is based on past tense then the best player will always be pele or Maradona.
The criteria we should use are
1) statistics
most people think the only stats in football are goals and assists. there are other stats such as successful dribbles, shots , chances created e.t.c

2) ability
there are different abilities and abilities can be seen in statistics

3) form
