Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri on the battle between Eden Hazard and Virgil van Dijk to Sky Sports: "[Eden] Hazard can do everything, everything. Hazard will put [Virgil] van Dijk in trouble." (BBC Football Live) Hey, Sarri! It was so long ago that a Chav manager once said "That [John] Terry can do anything. Terry will get his teammate's girlfriend in trouble."
Hazard playing as the central striker never works away from home imo, as he can’t hold the ball up & Chelsea tend to get penned in as they’ve not got an obvious outball.
I agree, Hazard won’t get in the game enough playing there, as he’ll be starved of the ball & isolated. He’ll get frustrated & drop deeper looking for the ball, then they won’t have a target. Sarri is a bit of a bell end imo.
Just seen the Wigan pen that was given. I hope Warnock hasn't, he'll be kicking the **** out of something.
I wish there was a gif of Warnock losing the plot. I mean "really" losing it. I suspect it would be a welcome addition to my wum arsenal.
Hazard, the gauntlet is down. Skip past that big sneering Dutch prat and leave him sitting on his arse...
"Mohamed Salah's dancing feet evades Willian..." (BBC Football Live commentary) What about the rest of him?
N'Golo Kante tries to feed it through to Eden Hazard on the edge of the area but the linesman's flag goes up for offside. That was literally inches. If he was a shoe size smaller he was probably on. (BBC Football Live commentary) Looks like the line-o is working hard to keep 'Pool's dream alive.
