Sorry I don't see hazard in the top 10 of balon d'or...with is current form and stats he still has a long way to go but as u said potential ballon d'or maybe in 3-4yrs time...the likes of Bale,Ibrahimovic,Ribery,Robben etc have better chance of winning it than him...hes yet to win either PFA or FWA

if u knw hm, u wl knw that he is improving by the day. Ur problem is that u dn knw hm. U just check his stats, thats all. What stats did iniesta have wen he came third and even made fifpro ix; a player who has only 33 goals out of 348 league games. Where is the good stats their. Like i said earlier, stats dnt reveal everything. Try and watch hazard. Every player wl nt score lyk cr7 and messi b4 they win ballon d'or. There cn nt b anoda cr7 and messi again, wen they leave the stage, the goal standard wich is being used to vote 4 them nw wl no longer be wat wl b used. And besides; apart 4rm bale who stil has a chance and time to win it, all other players u mentioned are past their time of winning it cus of ronaldo nd messi.

Let me say this. Sanchez football has improved since last season (maybe it is the peak of his career). But, if u compare his total career (even at his age) to that of hazard, hazard is beta.
Someone once said that "statistics are like mini skirts, they don't reveal everything". Most of us who are arguing here do not watch every match of the two players to understand their roles in their different teams and their quality. We are just arguing based on stats which do not reveal everything. According to stats so far dis season, sanchez has bn beta, because he is at the peak of his career. I believe that by the end of the season, hazard wl have a beta stat, cus his game improve as the season goes.
Therefore, i wl hold my peace until the end of the season then we wl c hu is beta, and hu wins the player of d season.
.
Lastly, all dis arsenal fans, make una just bring out time carry 150 naira go watch three chelsea matches in a row; u wl knw that there is absolutely a potential ballon d'or winner in hazard. The guy is just a delight to watch.

Just saw these an felt like sharing with you guys. Just articles. Not much related with the thread, but a wonder analysis, info and eye opener.

Krasid:
That stat is poor for somebody you claim is more creative than ronaldo, messi and neymar.

you need to understand the meaning of creativity in football. Creativity means creation of chances.

fijiano202:
ok ooo...u thinking hazard is in top 5 makes me wanna puke...last season he didnt even have the highest assist

assit is nt the same wt chances created. When the chance created is converted, thats when it becomes an assist.

Hmm this guy, chaii... you're a specialist in blind-argument

Smh

what is d blind argument dia?

opinchinoo:
kkk where is d stat I don't believe Chelsea fans anymore

u cn check it in premierleague.com 4 dat of the epl. For that of europe, i cnt find it nw, bt goal.com mentioned it some time this season when they were comparing hazard with dimaria b4 the chelsea vs man U match.

Krasid:
Hazard

hazard has 6 assists and 11 goals.

fijiano202:
bros stop writing buhhaha ....hazard is not in top 5 most creative player for the past 5 seasons

It's just simple; you dont knw your football.

Krasid:
How many assists does he have this season?

who

opinchinoo:
can u pls show me d stats??cos hazard had 7 assists last season 11th on d list for most assists in d EPL not europe

did i say he had d most assist? He created the most chances. And point of correction, it is 8 assists nt 7

opinchinoo:
dat stat is from August to December..... It's for d first half of dis season in Europe

dnt u get it! Thats y i said hazard is the most creative player. Until d season is over and we knw d result.

opinchinoo:
d answer is in d list now or wat criteria will b used apart from d chances created by d player

the season is yet to finish. Last season stats is what wl stil b used. Man city stil remain epl champions.

Krasid:
You are forgetting that all these players are attacking player.And the most important quality of an attacker is being able to score goals, or at least being able to provide assists.Hazard does not come close to any of these players in this department.If hazard does not stop dribbling unnecessarily, he will keep getting kicked and will end up getting injured.If he wants to be the best in the world, he needs to sharpen his finishing.With that said, hazard is not better than neymar.

point of correction, the most important quality of an attacking midfielder is to make assists then comes goal scoring. Lets do this; hazard provided 25 assists in his first season at chelsea, that same season, torres was 22 goals, followed by mata wt 20 (u remember the "mazacar" mata, hazard, oscar combination). Last season hazard created the most chance in europe bt wt just 8 assists wt a team that had no striker (according to Mou). Is it his fault dat the strikers cnt convert d chances to goal? Hazard does nt dribble unnecessarily, and he does nt get injured easily, most of his injuries cum through fatigue and nt kickings, and always come towards d end of d season. Tank u 4 acknowledge that it is finishing that hazard needs to becum d best in d world.

Marseille star Dimitiri Payet has pipped Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas to the title of most creative player in Europe so far this season, having set up four chances more than the Spain international. Since moving to Stamford Bridge from Barcelona, former Arsenal captain Fabregas has picked up 14 assists in the Premier League, far more than any other player and six more than Payet. However, the Frenchman has, crucially, fashioned more goalscoring opportunities overall. Third on the list, which is dominated by the Premier League, is another player with a Chelsea connection, Kevin De Bruyne, who has made 59 chances for his Wolfsburg team-mates. Then comes a collection of Premier League stars. Stewart Downing's renaissance at West Ham sees him claim fourth on 54, one ahead of Southampton's Dusan Tadic, who is separated from Arsenal ace Alexis Sanchez and Chelsea winger Eden Hazard by the same margin. In seventh, is Raheem Sterling, who has created 49 chances despite his Liverpool side struggling to score goals with Daniel Sturridge sidelined and Luis Suarez departed. Meanwhile, Gylfi Sigurdsson is eighth thanks to his fine form since returning to Swansea. The Icelandic schemer's former Tottenham team-mate, Christian Eriksen, has been his side's standout player this term and leads the way at White Hart Lane with 46 opportunities, just ahead of Manchester City's Jesus Navas and Arsenal's Santi Cazorla. The run of Premier League players is broken by the second-most creative Bundesliga star, Werder Bremen's Zlakto Junuzovic, who - with 43 chances created - ranks ahead of the highest ranked La Liga player, Lionel Messi. The Argentina has provided 42 opportunities for team-mates, as many as Everton full-back Leighton Baines. Messi has outshone Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid in this regard, with the Portuguese down on 39, while not a single Serie A player has made the top 20..... From goal.com

if an award exist 4 most creative player in europe, who do u tink wl b wt d award right now?

MrDojo:
Hazard is a wonderful talent.....N a very good Ftballer....bt d way CFC fans over hype him u'll tink he has won even EPL bests player.......hazard worth 150M.....


D@'s d joke of the day...

Hazard is nt even in bale's lvl yet......


150M LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

hope u knw that hazard has more value than bale, even wen he has nt signed a awaited contract extension. £77m

ClintonNzedimma:
Messi will always be Messi-One of top 7 playmakers in the world.
And as for Hazard, let him play the big boys first.
I dont see him beating Marcelo or Sergio Ramos

is alaba and rafael nt big boys.

ClintonNzedimma:
Yes i know but Neymar' s aim is to score,
The chance creation job is for versatile messi

it is nt only a matter of his aim, bt it is his new role wt suarez. And that just started dis season.
.
.
Even messi that has bn given the chance creating role have nt created up to that of hazard. What degree world class players are playing alongside neymar, james nd others compared to hazard?

AllBusiness:
Lol, you're still sleeping.. Wake up quick bro..

Hazard>Stamford Bridge, let alone London and outside England.

U go fear fear

u re d one who is sleeping, cus u dnt knw anytin abt futbal. Hazard is a world class player. Europe's most creative player.

pamcode:
did you check the link,cos it was explained how ces got their data

i find it difficult to click links outside nairaland, cus most of them consume data alot. U shld hv copied it also.
All d same, i hv checked it. I nw understand y robben nd ribery are wia the are, they are old men. Bt 4 those that are of messi, cr7 and hazard mates. You shld knw wat seperated them.
.
. The criteria is age, contract, personal performance nd team results.

AllBusiness:
Even a toddler, blind person, headless chickens knows that Di Maria,Neymar,Sanchez,Vidal,James Rodrigues,Iniesta,Muller,Goetz ,Cazorla are better than Hazard. Hazard is overhyped by only Chelsea fans. I remember when he compared himself with C.Ronaldo and Messi last season. Odinary EPL player of the season he never win, he dey compare himself with world class players

From ur comment, it is just obvious that u are just being sentimental and u dnt watch chelsea matches. Let me try to explain to u the qualities of those players u mentioned. Di maria is a great player, no doubt,bt he does nt score much goals, he tires easily and he is nt a beta passer nd dribbler than hazard, so hazard is above hm. Cazorla is nt in hazard's level, hazard has everytin beta than hm. Neymar is beta than hazard wt goals. Vidal is nt even in dia league. Sanchez only have goals stats slightly above hazard, the same wt james rodriguez and muller bt hazard is beta in other tins. Hazard is just beta dan gotze, and u knw dat. He is nt as consistent lyk hazard. Nw it is down to iniesta. Iniesta is a great player, in fact he is a legend. Bt, do u knw that, out of the 348 league appearances that he has made, he only has 33 goals to his name. Iniesta is a natural midfielder who is nt much concerned abt goals, he a born footballer, rear talent, he has goal scoring badluck just lyk his compatriot david silva, he is ever consistent, i have never seen hm flop. Fabregas is another iniesta. Now, those players that i said are beta dn hazard wt goal stats are players who play more lyk strikers or supporting strikers or false 9. Do you get it nw? And stop being sentimental, be objective.

ClintonNzedimma:
Neymar Competition....hazard cannot bench neymar..his finishing is poor...even if u say he shud be given a numba 10 role...na King messi him wan bench....
Abeg leave dat matter for matthias

my brother, like i told u b4 in d other thread; hazard is more creative than neymar. Sometimes it nt only abt scoring goals. If u look at the goals hazard score, u wl c that they are most times created by hm. He does nt position himself to score goals like cr7 who does nt like 2 create chances 4 others; just to score goals. Hazard is the player that would rather give a pass than take a shot. Though it has changed a little of recent, maybe mou has told hm to start taking shots, thats y u cn c hm being a bit selfish dis days. For a player to b playing lyk cr7, he nids 2 have quality players around hm, like cr7 had dimaria nd ozil..
Hazard is a very good player on the counter attack. He cn also play in the right wing, cn play al the position in the attack behind d striker.
If you knw chelsea team very well, u wl knw that schurrle is a beta finisher than william, bt william gets d node ahead of hm in d starting line up. This is because william composes himself more in a game. He is a beta passer, a beta tackler, a beta dribbler, a beta possession keeper, he does nt take unnecessary shots and he does more of creating chances than trying to score. Hope u nw understand y hazard cn b able to bench neymar?

heatmeup:
just goal stat?
free kicks cr7 is better, positioning cr7 is better, heading cr7 is better, even marking cr7 is better. pls who would bench a cr7 for harzad?pls make una dey talk tru small

these tins u mentioned are the tins that bring the goals. He positions to score goal, dats y he creates very few chances, cus 4 hm it is al abt goals. Cr7 is a lazy player just lyk hazard. Just 4get marking 4 them. Though, under mou hazard is nw improving in dat aspect. Hazard is a short man just lyk messi, u dnt expect them to go 4 headers, the cn only score free header.
