Hazard have alot in his arsenal than kdb and that is why he wl always be beta and always get d recognition.

Hazard cn create chances wt his passes as much as kdb wl do wt his, even adding his setpiece delivery. Bt, kdb does nt hv wt it takes to riggle out of tight space wt the ball when given to him or cum to a defence under pressure to collect d ball and drive it to attack.

No matter hw hazard plays, what remains a fact is that he creates loads of chances at the end of the season. That is what it means to have vision.
It is only on nairaland that i read that hazard does nt have vision.

Hazard has his style of play which is rely on his fellow attackers to be technically good, so that they cn exchange passes intelligently. Check all the technically good players we hv been opportuned to have nd see hw they combine with hazard, check lampard, check mata, check fab.
Having vision is nt only when a player makes crossing frm d midfield to the attacker, frm flank into the box and passing immediately he gets d ball, if it is so, then permit me to saz that messi does nt have vision, Since messi does nt have that style of play. Messi unlike hazard has always bn surrounded with technically good players who understand and thinks football faster. And they have helped to bring out the best in him.

Hazard did nt need to play 7 crosses or long balls to create the chances he made against ATM. The pass to fab was the best chance of the game and it has vision written all over it. A player wt no vision wl nt make that pass.

That being said. The signing of morata; a player that is technically good, is a good thing 4 hazard and chelsea. The only bad being that we could sign another attacker with sense to complete the circle.

Hazard wl tell u that, he clicked with mata on his first day of training wt chelsea.
He wl tel u that it is easy to find morata because of his good movements and positioning.

Again, hazard wl always be better than kdb which ever way he plays.

Hazard has played more games for their NT, Hazard is their penalty taker
kdb is also the set piece taker. You knw what that means, added goals nd assists. It is nt hazard's fault that he is the best penalty taker in his teams, as it is nt also kdb fault that he is the best set piece taker in his teams.
That being said. It is nt hazard's fault that kdb was nt gud enough to be selected 4 d national team often. After all, they are of d same age.

lol people criticizing hazard for his lack of direct play will be the same folks overhyping him when his dribbles starts tearing defences again
don't mind them. Ashawo fans.
The hazard i have always watched is a player that prefers to play a through pass or cross when he feels that the probability of it getting to its destination is higher, unlike player like kdb that wl just be playing the pass whether em go reach or nt.

Hazard cn make dangerous runs with the ball at his feet, bt is never blind to a good and intelligent run by an attacker. Hazard wl pass the ball 90% of the time when he spots a very good run by an attacker who knws what to do with the ball. Maybe 75% when he was still young, bt nt nw. Watch out 4 hazard nd morata this season.

That being said. No matter the style hazard chooses to play, he is still better than kdb.

See all these truth here. Na how you go know person wey sabi ball not monkey post

deliver ball one time to your attackers not to be dancing alanta in one corner because you wan disgrace defender. The idea of "I must embarass this defender" is so amateur and should be for players like Pius Ikedia, Zaha Traore. Thats why his style reminds me so much of Ikedia just forming activity on the field

Hazard will see acres of space in front of him and a striker making a run, but he will pause so that the recovering defenders will rush and he wil put ball in his torros.
but, how come hazard have been creating more chances than him since their career bar last season nd d one b4 it[when hazard was poor], despite kdb being a set piece taker 4 his teams.?

They know themselves. I told them the difference between DeBruyne and their favourite son is urgency, vision and delivery. See some of the first time passes and crosses De Bruyne was making today, if it was their favourite son, all of those would end in dribbles rather than goals
hazard did play well. You are now saying these things. We all know who has been winning titles for his team and winning the individual awards. Wait till season end.

Now that he has returned to west London, he is not only competing with Hazard & Co. but also fresh batch of players every from arguably the best academy in the world.
Chelsea have not yet produced Marcus Rashford or Harry Kane but their youth teams are winning trophies at an unpreceden ted rate.
Of course, Rashford only got his chance to break in at Man United because of an injury crisis and Musonda needs a similar slice of luck at Chelsea. However, he also needs to keep his head down and work harder because, as it stands, Chelsea are quite happy with how things are going.

You didn't start anything...f.b.s was the one who started it. I supported his position. Nat.eevs was the one who took time in defending hazard not you. Ibi.me later joined and supported the willian 11. Even when Ni.hilist joined the Convo he created a team of hazard vs willian and willain came out tops.

My issue with the post you responded to is simple.....that post like many other post from some of the newbies we have, had no bearing whatsoever with the discourse we had here. The post was another reckless and senseless post to gather useless and cheap attention. That post is like several haphazard post we have been witnessing here of late. The post is simply deceptive and doesn't portray the true picture of the discourse that took place here.

It is even more disappointing when you claim to have started the discourse yet...you couldn't do right by pointing out the flaw in that post.

If truly you started the Convo...did anyone say willian was outrightly better than hazard here? Was there any direct comparison btw them to start with? Was the conversation not about who will come out tops btw a team of 11hazard vs 11willian?

Please..... you guys should manage better, how you go about painting what is not a fact as the fact ......
i am sorry to say this, bt, i think u are confused. Lets just leave it there. I dnt hv the strength to do abt this.

I wanted to ask. Was there really an improvement in City game or just they got lucky vs last season?

I am thinking back to the game Chelsea won them 3-1. There were multiple opportunities for City to have smacked Chelsea big time that day but they missed the chances, Chelsea had 3 counter attacks against the run of play and scored on all 3.

Was there really a tactical masterclass difference from last season or just a rub of green. KdB shoots that ball over or Chelsea score from a Cahill corner we would be having a different discussion or what do you think
it boils down to luck. After every bit of analysis, you will still find out that they were a bit unlucky not to win chelsea last season.

3: overall possession: 38%? (at home fa)

Any body that will repeat that nonsense again i
will bitch slap The modafucker.
unlike you, those who vote for the awards he won there did not just use google to check how many goals he had for the season. They played against him and know what they saw that made them vote him best player for two consecutive seasons, plus the one they gave him when he was still younger.

Maybe conte would have done better, but we all know that in football, you don't always win and your plans don't work out all the time.

Kudos to Pep. He came with a very good tactics and it worked out for him. Even if Chelsea players were not fatigued, it would have still been a difficult game to win just like those of last season.

‘For sure there is disappointment about the result but at the same time I’m pleased with the commitment of my players, we gave everything,’ said the Italian. ‘You can win or lose, but the most important thing is to see your players giving everything and today that happened.
‘We played against a really good team, we created chances to score but we didn’t take them. Man City created chances and did well to score. In this type of game it’s very important to score first but great compliments to City.’
Conte provided an update on Morata’s injury
‘It’s a muscular problem. I don’t think it’s serious. He said to me: “Coach I prefer to stop, otherwise I risk having a bad injury.”
‘I don’t know. The doctor in the next few days will check the situation but I don’t think he will be available for the national team.’
He was asked about our lack of preparation time for today’s game, and whether he felt
Morata’s injury could be linked to the packed schedule
‘On this issue I have already spoken and to repeat the same opinion is not good. We don’t want to use it as an excuse. To play another massive game two days later you must consider the fatigue in the legs of your players, and it’s impossible to press box to box because after 30 minutes you have no energy.
‘It’s normal when you play three massive games in seven days you must consider this aspect but we needed to take the risk because
Morata , for us, is a very important player.’
Conte, who said his decision to bring on
Willian, rather than Michy Batshuayi , for
Morata was a simple tactical one, also spoke about our approach to the game
‘When you play against the type of team who likes to have possession, you have to consider two tactical aspects. You go very high, press and play with great intensity for the whole game, or you must be disciplined to close the space and exploit space in behind their defenders.
‘I think we have to look at ourselves and try to put everything into every game. We did that today. Damage or no damage, we have to go game by game, do our best and then we’ll see at the end of the season how we finish the league. When I see my players have given everything we must be pleased despite the bad result.
‘You have to consider that in seven games we’ve played Arsenal, Tottenham, Man City and Everton. Our start wasn’t so easy. I think we have the points we deserve.’




For me, the arsenal game is the game that I didn't like the result. We should have won that game. We had no excuse.

Sometimes I wonder if we all watch the same match. To think that some people were bad about rudiger today. The rudiger that frustrated sane today and even saved a goal.

I don't understand how hazard was hidden today.
Is there any ball that the young man got that he made a poor decision on? Is there a time he didn't look dangerous while attacking, despite being brought down on his way.

Man City had up to 68% possession and that is a midfield problem which can be explained by them having higher energy. Why can't we see this things like this and accept this result.
I will not judge any of our players for this lose, because they tried their best. Though, I would have loved a draw, but, the players tried and pep got his tactics right by using speed and energy to overrun our players.
