28 players booked for fouling Hazard so far

Anyway, I know most of you secretly like Man United and will be fully behind us on Monday night right

 

Sorry to dissapoint you Bod but i happen to think Hazard is a very good player. He is far too quick and tricky for most defenders and it is no surprise he has so many fouls/cards given in his favour

 

Best player in PL, no question.

 

The only time I'll be behind you lot is when you play City.

 

Its getting to that stage, he is improving year after year.
Right now, its either him or Aguero, Aguero when he hits form is an absolute monster.
But Hazard is staking his claim imo.

 

No way is he even close to being one of the leagues best

 

Ok then.

 

His fouled rate isn't just because he looks for a foul it is also because he is genuinely tricky and agile. The ball is often gone when a well intentioned tackle comes in and ends up on his ankle or between his legs when he is already going in a different direction. So it a combination of this, him looking for a foul and when players decided just to foul him as a tactic. If I saw Hazard rolling about on the floor I'd get genuinely worried.

 

Undeniably in the top 5 and I struggle to find good things to say about Chelsea.

 

Who do you think is better and why?? I'm not crazy about "the best" tag, but if there has to be one Hazard is definitely in the running.

 

I hope you've been on Rooney's back as much as you have been on Hazard's.

 

If he stopped wriggling about he'd get fouled less.

 

After Kane

 

He's no Falcao I guess.......

Hazard and Aguero stand out at the moment.

Below that is a bigger group with probably the likes of Rooney, Di Maria (On previous seasons not this one), Fabregas, Costa, Silva, Yaya, Sanchez etc

 

Compared to Falcao is is world class

 

You mean looking to fall over is different from falling over?

Hazard dives a lot. He's clever about it and invites some contact before falling over but lets call a spade a spade here Drogs. It's part of the modern game and he's one of the best at doing it, but honestly, it's every bit as bad as diving.
It's funny the double standards, this is what Barca excelled at, throughout their team, and were slated for it, Hazard does exactly what they did(body positioning to draw soft fouls) and is hailed for it

 

There were some terrible tackles on him last night. One of which should have been an automatic red card. Yeah he draws fouls but he's no diver.

 

I'd say he's both.

 

Compared to Failco I'm world class.

 

In the context of today's game, I wouldn't say so. If you go by the way he goes down when there's contact then every single player in the PL is a diver.
