22 goals by Stat padding in the europa league. He only scored 8 in 36 league games(you also forgot to mention it was 22 in 60 plus games which is poor).
Hazard did not want to play as a CF. Fact is Hazard 15 goals and 15 assists was the best he has had throughout his time at Chelsea.
Torres was washed. I can't believe you want to argue this. Dude did not come anywhere close to replicating his liverpool form ever again.

How many times did Torres score 20 league goals a season in his entire career?

How did 32 years old Torres scored 11 goals in the la Liga?

Definitely not washed up.

Like I said, Torres struggled at Chelsea. Even Morata who is doing well at AM struggled at Chelsea. Gabriel will definitely struggle.

Sarri had nothing to do with Hazard's performance because we have seen him scored 14 goals and 10 assists, 14 goals and 9 assists, and 9 goals with 14 Chelsea almost every season.vSarri added nothing to his goals and assists.

The margin is never by miles.

Wait...12 in 44 is world class to you? Torres never scored 20 league goals after liverpool. He was washed!!
If Ighalo had those numbers - I doubt anyone would want him playing for us.
Mertens turned into a legit goal scoring threat...why wouldn't Jesus? Hazard got his best numbers for you guys under Sarri.
Were Torres numbers at Atleti as good as that at Liverpool? Yes or No
Mertens is a better goal scorer than hazard

Hazard that has never scored 20 epl goals

More power to him..

There is no point inviting him imo.

When Ike Shorunmi retired, we had a goalkeeping crisis.

We turned to 3 young keepers, Enyeama, Ejide and Aiyenugba.

Enyeama was far from the finished article but with time and experience, he improved a lot.

People forget how poor Enyeama was with crosses and penalties. He was useless when it came to penalties. 2004 AFCON semis come to mind but he was focused and improved. He became a very good penalty stopper.

Enyeama became a hero against England at the WC. Remember that fine save in the game he posted a shut-out at the WC? Enyeama showed a big promise in 2002. I’m waiting for the young keepers to shut my mouth. Until then the fact remains they are not as active as the guy u are calling fat.

One save but how was he after that for Nigeria? We were not under pressure in that match.

The first couple of years of Enyeama were average. He improved as he got older.

Uzoho should start.

Get 2 other young keepers and we are good to go.

He showed great promise. So that’s a different scenario to what we have now. I’m hoping our young keepers improve though. But just because Enyeama improved overtime is no guarantee. Enyeama had it and we could tell from that very fine performance at a very big stage.

I’ve already said what I have to say about our young keepers. If Uzoho can get game time in Cyprus then that’s fine. It’s important they play.

Enyeama is the best keeper Nigeria has ever produced. No question. The keeper does not have to be as good.

If you have 3 young keepers. One or two will reach a decent level.

If you bring back an Ejide, you will impede the opportunities to grow and gain these international experiences.

How many times did he play more than 30 league games for liverpool? Once and he scored 20 plus goals. The other times he's goal scoring ratio has been very good till the last half of the season for Liverpool where it was obvious dude was washed.
Hazard went 15 goals and 15 assists for the first time in his Chelsea career and that was Sarri. He would've scored more if played as a false 9.
Gabriel would definitely do better than Tammy is showing at the moment.
