With the elimination of current EPL leaders Chelsea against a PSG down to 10 men for 88 minutes yesterday, the chances of any English team qualifying for the quarter final of the UCL is slim.Manchester city and Arsenal face a daunting task to qualify when both play the return leg of their tie away from home next week and are likely to be eliminated along with Chelsea and Liverpool(who could not make it out of the group stage).EPL players are no where to be found when the finest footballers are honoured every year at the FIFA Ballon d'or Gala.Why then is the English league considered to be the best in Europe?

AFTER SOME FOOLS WILL COMPARE HAZARD TO NEYMAR. HARZARD WAS ANONYMOUS IN THAT MATCH TILL THE PENALTY HE CONVERTED. CHELSEA IS ALL ABOUT DEFENDING. THEY COULDN'T CAPITALISE ON 10 MEN TO ATTACK PSG DESPITE BEEN AT HOME. EPL TEAMS ARE JUST TRASH. NOBODY SHOULD TAKE THEM SERIOUS

It is a felony for Hazard to be compared to Neymar.Some clowns even proclaimed him the next Ballon d'or winner.Now i understand what you meant when you said he is average.He was completely hiding yesterday until the penalty.Mr take-on will only be seen in the list of most fouled players.

When Chelsea need the man for big occasions it has always been ivanovic who scores vital goals. All hazard does is to dribble needlessly and get fouled. No tangible contribution for 120mins asides penalty. EPL is an overrated league and i will keep saying it. The only thing that makes epl exceptional is the English language

This is just crap, how dull can u be, how many games has Neymar won for Barca ds season, compare to how many Hazard has won....Dude has scored vital goals against top oppositions this season, even what falcao, Di Maria, Rooney, nd oda players couldn't do for their teams....need I also remind ow much Hazard and Neymar cost for their respective clubs.
What has Neymar nd Bale been nominated for, Hazard has been nominated for both the EPL BEST of d season as well as epl youngest best player of the season. 2014/2015...he won it last year. Neymar plays alongside the almighty Messi nd Suarez, Bale is surrounded by football stars Ronaldo, Isco, Modric, Rodriguez, Kroos, do i also need to remind u ow much these players cost?;
For this crap u just posted nd for calling us fools, U are just really stuupid and ret.arded in ur thinking, u need a brain surgery.
Dammit!! wat pleasure do yall derive in dragging Hazards name in d mud....is he ur player, are we complaining??

The thread says EPL is overrated, anything that makes hazard wins the epl player of the year also makes him overrated.

I tire oo.Hazard has not earned the right to be mentioned alongside those legends.Players who have a combined 7 ballon d'or.Even Bale who did much more than the Belgian fraud was not mentioned alongside those two when he was tearing the EPL apart.

I can see u av no point, whoever said Hazard is better than Messi and Ronaldo, these two guys are the world's best....no player in ds current dispensation has achieved their feat, we can only compare some up-coming stars to them and dts totally normal.
y'all keep shouting Hazard is overrated, he was silent against PSG, bla bla bla, wat bout the other big games he had shone, do messi, ronaldo, bale, gotze, shine in all matches....world best players don't get injured easily, they do spectacular things for their teams, their teams are mostly built around dem, dey most times are greatly missed when they don't feature in big matches for their team, can't u say this about Hazard, Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, Neuer, and co
y is he now overrated, wen Madrid bot bale for dt huge 85m pounds, so many pple had mixed feelings, Hazard was gotten for 32m pounds, he has been impressive for Chelsea since 2012/2013, how is he still overrated??

Just help yourself with this stats and news about the PFA shortlists and tell me why Hazard is overrated.
http://m.foxsports.com.au/football/premier-league/pfa-premier-league-player-of-the-year-kane-sanchez-costa-de-gea-coutinho-hazard-nominated/story-e6frf4a3-1227307484362

Hazard is quite lucky this season.. I can't deny d fact dat he tired, but d Question is "Did he had a Top Performance"? .NO.
When I say Top Performance I mean, The likes of Saurez 13/14, VanPersie 11/12,

PFA does nt always mean that player is the all round best player in the league.


I vote Hazard for PFA 14/15

My opinion...

By EPL I believe you mean the English Premier League.

The EPL consists of 20teams that play each other twice (home and away), points are calculated and the winner is crowned. Each team plays a total of 38games.

The EPL isn't Manchester United or Chelsea or Arsenal or Manchester City etc rather, they are made up of 20teams that is:

Manchester United plus 19 other teams, Chelsea plus 19 other teams, Arsenal plus 19 other teams, Manchester City plus 19 other teams, etc.

What point am I driving at? one can't know the strength of any league by mere looking at Ballon D Or representation, champions league/europa league showings, pichichi winners etc., it's a bit naïve.

A proper analysis on any league is done in that same league. The competitive nature can be deduced from the following points:

1. The point total of the eventual league winner:
Very high point total suggests a very weak league.

2. The point total of the lowest ranked team: too low, too weak.

3. When the difference in points between the league winners and the lowest ranked team after a league season is so large, the league is lopsided.

4. When the forwards score astronomical number of goals in a league year in year out it is pointing more on the league's weakness than the forwards superlative abilities.

5. When there are many big margin victories in a season it suggests more on weakness of that league than the strength of the team that scored such victories.

6. A league with few upsets recorded in the course of league season suggests that the league is weak and highly predictable.

7. A league were a particular club or a small group of clubs sweep in all the trophies every season as well as enjoying the greater part of TV rights revenue, such a league is indeed very lopsided hence terribly weak.

...And so on

Op,

Now tell me, where does the EPL fall short and also why wont you consider the English league to be the best league in Europe?

I do consider it.

What have I done to deserve this level of insults from you? This is just a football argument and everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. Hazard or neymar doesn't know if you and I exist so if you can descend this low to spit venom I don't think any sane person should engage you in an arguement. There are better ways you could have passed your message without personal confrontations besides its not a must i agree with you. You are not related to hazard so why take it so personal? Please works on your manners. You are so uncultured

Yes and i don't see anything naive about using the UCL/Europa league, Ballon d'or to judge if a league is better than the other.I believe all 3/4 teams are meant to give a good representation of their league since they are the best that the league has to offer.How many forwards bar Messi and Ronaldo score astronimical amount of goals year in year out in the top leagues across europe.The 3rd place scorers in la liga has the same amount or similar amount of goals as the other top leagues in europe.I bet both Messi and CR can score similar amount of goals playing in the EPL.Big margin wins can occur in any top league across europe depending on the quality of the top teams in a league at a particular point in time.It does not mean that the league is weak.I have seen Manchester united and Chelsea beat teams 7-1, 8-0 when the EPL was arguably the best league at the time.

having world class forwards around u doesn't increase ur chances to score more rather it creates competition for goals its wen u have more creative players dat ur chances for goals increase
