SailorXY:
just as Mata was always voted above him irrespective of not dancing unnecessarily around the pitch

coogar:
his di maria not a winger? is silva not a winger? how come silva & hazard are both inverted wingers but hazard has no through pass in 7 league games?

SailorXY:
are you interested in zigzag football or productivity? how many times has 6 successful dribbles per match led to goal? he dribbles panties Wenger parades & suddenly dribbling is new invention?

coogar:
when are you going to confess that hazard has no through ball(through pass) this season?

SailorXY:
if na di Maria you dey refer to;
Nani & Young are dribblers, Oga players get level.
Silva is better than Kagawa & Mata. how pacy is Fabregas to have all that influence in Chelsea or Mata to be named Chelshit player of the season ahead of Hazard

SIRcumalot:
Azpi hardly crosses any chelsea fan will tell you that,of the two FB Ivanovic is the adventurous one.
I'll to see the stat that disprove that.
So hazard basically does two jobs
For those who wants players like Silva or Silva like player may i remind you we use to have to of them Kagawa and Mata they did fuq all.
We brought in a Player that runs at defenders and dribbles all day see how different we look.
Am tired.

MaziOmenuko:
This is pure undiluted blasphemy! Did you write that? Silva can't keep the ball? With his skills and low centre of gravity, its a big task to disposes Silva! He runs the game care-freely like he was born to play; he rotates between the hole and the flank.

A one-legged, deaf and color blind Silva will have a place in my team any day!

coogar:
i dunno why people overrate dribbling....
a through-pass like what cesc supplied last night is more effective than dribbling to me. the reason people dribble is to break the lines & get through - it serves exactly the same purpose as a through-pass.

by elampiro's standard, okocha is better than xavi.

coogar:
hazard isn't an out & out winger.
he's very different to valencia or even nani who hug the touchline. if hazard is a traditional winger, what was he doing at the edge of the box dribbling 3 arsenal players to win a penalty?

silva gets drafted wide & he cuts in like hazard. aguero/dzeko are the top 2 forwards in city. navas on the right, nasri/silva on the left. they all operate in the same way but silva is the better player between the two.

coogar:
mourinho was also belgium's manager when even fellaini outplayed hazard in brazil.

professional footballers have spoken? ok - tell us the whoscored ratings between nani & bale in 2010/11.

SailorXY:
stay there dey deceive yourself with mathematics, so you are trying to tell me that Hazard was more in the game against City than Silva? this last match wey we just watch finish? a game where the first meaningful Chelsea attack was after a red card to their opponent? hahaha guy get yourself a better television first, & probably a HD decoder as well

chrisley024:
Calling Messi and Maradona cos Hazard dribbled 2-3 assnal players. Sth Nani, Val and Young have done for fun.

Your problem is that u get hypnotised by players u rate high that u can analyse them well even.

coogar:
no he doesn't!
chelsea players get into the box a lot & thus they win penalties. it's not down to hazard alone. what he did yesterday was the only positive thing he contributed in the game & that was it. if silva had done that, aguero or toure woulda taken the resulting penalty.

whoscored cannot quantify such differentials.



EPL XI is sometimes a popularity contest. we all saw nani outplay gareth bale in 2010/11 but bale anonymously got the award. in 2008/9 season, giggs was chosen over vidic, ronaldo, torres & gerrard. giggs contributed next to nothing & he won a sympathy award. there are other examples too.



if silva gets substituted, it's a testament to the quality of the city side. hazard would be lucky to get 20 league starts at city.......and silva will play every game at chelsea. hazard is so good but mata was chosen ahead of him as the player of the season.

hazard ko, danger ni.

SailorXY:
make I hear word jare
how many times has Nani used Arsenal to practice dribbling skills? Wenger always parade feather-weight players, & for all their technique, that alone won't make you a world beater! where was the special dribbles from Hazard against City a forth-night ago? How many has he done against the likes Liverpool or teams that add physical approaches?

and your are calling his name in same sentence as Bale

leggo:
Gervinho has a bigger impact in his less-expensive squad, delivered in WC. Watch him and don't judge based on Urban legends about him

SailorXY:
so if you tasked with picking a player for Man United now with Hazard & Silva before your face; you pay up for Hazard?

leggo:
Gervinho is better than hazard... So compare him to Neymar?

coogar:
silva is at least 5 times better than hazard. the whoscored rating is a farce. hazard takes penalties - the ratings will not highlight that aspect like yesterday where hazard did little & scored a goal via penalty.

coogar:
another reason whoscored rating is a farce is the fact that they base statistics per game instead of per minutes. hazard has spent more minutes on the pitch than silva in the last 2 seasons.

in a nutshell, the only time whoscored ratings should be taken seriously is for one game where the players compared both completed 90 mins. you cannot use it as an accurate statistical tool for one season where one player plays more minutes than the other.

chrisley024:
I rate Silva higher. He has got big game influence, intelligence and technique and makes Toure better unlike Hazard that flashes few times in games.

Dadehmola:
That's because fabregas was the one creating chances for costa at Athletico with the kinda agbero football they are known for abi?



Hazard is a tactical dribbler of the ball - his dribbles create space in the opposition's defence for his team mates to exploit.



Even if Chelsea bought 10 fabrepasses, it wouldnt have improved toress' form. The earlier you stopped thinking about the toress at Liverpool, the better. No be the same toress wey dey miss empty net at Chelsea??

As we speak, toress isn't better than Connor wickham.

chrisley024:
@elampiro, between Silva and Hazard who will u choose?

leggo:
to borrow a line from rival fans: there is a conspiracy against us!

MaziOmenuko:
Yet you conveniently pull up those stats to defend your stand when it suits you!

Ironically, I never talked about stats, nor did I present any. I'm just saying from my own observation, Fabregas has been of more effect than Hazard, and his dancing around the pitch with the ball will only get him injured one of these days.

chrisley024:
Well, their criteria is best known to them cos I'm yet to see why. Votes were from followers of @ManUtd on Twitter and MUTV viewers.

MaziOmenuko:
I believe Hazard will perform better in a league like la liga than he's presently doing. Presently, his dancing around the pitch is very inefficient; compared to Fabregas who is seriously delivering key passes and assists.

I still don't see Hazard as a big threat to opponents. He is easily contained, and mostly goes anonymous when the heat is on.

chrisley024:
Which site is that? When we've Rafael. Before DDG's saves, it would have been Di maria then Rafael.

Btw, Paddy was rated higher than Rojo.

chrisley024:
Paddy still did better than him the 2nd time. Paddy put Lukaku in his pocket while Naismith he was supposed to hold tight scored unmarked. Was also caught out of position for Osman's strike that DDG saved
