Hi eds would like to hear your opinions on Hazard recently I've ever so slightly changed my opinion from amazing player to a good player based on he never turns up against the really big teams and dominates . I think he's amazing against the likes of Stoke and west Bromwich but the top six and European teams he goes missing. on that note if he was sold for ridiculous money I wouldn't be to disappointed your thoughts cheers.

{Ed001's Note - I just think he is not being used in the right way. You look at the best players around the world and they only become great when used in the right way. If you tried to get Icardi to link up play or be a target man, he would be crap. Give him the ball in the box and he is lethal. You could go on with players like Salah etc. Hazard is the same, he needs to be played in the right way to get the most out of him and that is not happening this season.

My gripe with him is that he is not mentally strong enough to just go and play his game to his best, he will sulk instead and not put it in on the pitch. He is Chelsea's star man, if he goes out and does his best, plays his way, no manager is going to drop him or do anything but build around him.}

Cheers ed for reply agree with everything you said.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome gg. It's a shame as he has the talent to step up but is not stamping his mark on games.}

Ed what's your view on a potential striking pair of Icardi and Morata, should Hazard go?

{Ed001's Note - on paper they look a good combo, but it would mean a massive change in the way Chelsea play, as Icardi is pretty useless outside of the box and has little involvement in the build up. I would be more worried about Icardi's attitude off the pitch to be honest. His wife, that he stole off a team-mate who had tried to help him, is his agent, and she is apparently really difficult to deal with as well. So I would avoid him and hang on to Hazard if that was the choice.}

Cheers for the reply. I remember reading about that at the time - when he was at Sampdoria, right? Id rather see Hazard stay too, but in more of an attacking setup.

{Ed001's Note - I forget where they were but the whole thing got really nasty and a lot still haven't forgiven him.

Agreed on Hazard, he needs more help in the final third. No point him beating someone and playing the ball into the box to one man, as he is on the run and not always got the balance or the time to look and pick someone out. He just needs to be putting it into an area, but you need people to be attacking those areas for it to be a danger.}
