LosNumerados Report post Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) They should have started with Lukaku , it reminds me of when we played Barcelona, it's so much easier to defend against passy teams when they don't have a real striker, if Hazard went to City or United on that performance a lot of Chelsea fans would call him **** & overrated as well.Hazard has been misrepresented, you'll have to get used to people calling him **** & overpriced for a while. His class will show through though Edited June 2, 2012 by LosNumerados Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harvz Report post Posted June 2, 2012 Well I'm left feeling decidely underwhelmed, and very happy with what I saw. We've been going on highlights so of course the chances were that we'd see something far more low key, and maybe no flashes of brilliance at all (he's not really turned up for the national team as of yet). His positioning, unselfish play, pass offs, chasing back and determination to look for the pass at all times really reassures me that he will work for us. Goal scoring and selfishness come more naturally to uber-talented players than the more responsible side to the game. I'd rather we have him like this in 'bad' games than the selfish wasteful dribbling to nowhere stuff you'd get if he had a different predisposition to the game.Looking forward to his development.

Senor Chang Report post Posted June 2, 2012 Is he meant to be going to Chelsea to make it official or is that after the Euros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ham Report post Posted June 2, 2012 Hazard's got a great eye for a pass. Both long and short. Not sure if I saw him give the ball away once. Very impressive. As for lukaku, he can trap a ball further than I can kick one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OfWolfAndBiggs Report post Posted June 2, 2012 Hazard was quality today. He made so many intelligent passes and lay offs but was let down by his team mates most of the time. Fellaini and Dembele are decent but I don't think they are up to his level and I don't like the way Belgium play as a team, the lack of a striker means so much of their play has no direction. Still, I was impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
