And like I said in my previous posts. Their performance in the biggest matches and their titles won is an alibi for that. What is Hazard's alibi? Don't tell me age because all the people you guys love to compare him with were either Champions or had at least made impact waaaaay before his age


I blame the low standard of the EPL.

I would name 20 players better than Hazard easily. Go and watch Barcelona and see how Rakitic makes them tick.

Bale with 17 goals and 11 assists from open play is regarded as a flop this year while Hazard with 19 goals (5-6 penalties) and 13 assists is being hailed, that simply tells you the difference and who is held at a higher standard

The other players are self-explanatory I wouldn't even bother with that. Lewandowski, Mueller and Benz are not Eden Ikedia's mates


Mueller is playing in an era with Ronaldo and Messi in their peak. Even the Balon D'Or is now so infatuated with the latter two that they win the awards in years they don't deserve it.

Guys like Figo, Romario, Rivaldo, Cannavaro even Zidane might not have 3 WPOTY if they played now

We saw FIFA give Messi Golden Shoe award when even his countrymen unanimously agreed he didn't deserve it.

Sneijder was the MVP in world football for 2010 he didn't win it.

Ronaldo finished trophyless in 2013 but still ended up with the award. I don't care about personal laurels so long as Mueller wins Euro's next year to complete the sweep of winning every major title that's good enough for me

You should watch Hazard play without sentiment.
He doesn't have the goal stats or Team trophies to show for now.
At the end of his career if he doesn't have atleast a UCL and top three balondor then he did not live up to expectation

A40:

Sentiments? You are the one being sentimental!

Hazard is a terrific player. I don't think anyone is denying his talent but his record clearly shows he is not yet fit to sit in the table of men.

We have drummed it into your ears ad nauseum

You cannot tell me Hazard is at par with Mueller or Neymar with no achievement or goalscoring record to show for it. At 24 and a half years

Mueller and Neymar extended their brilliance to the International level before turning 23

How can anyone tell me he is at their level just cause he creates a lot of chances against the likes of Stoke, QPR and West Brom. When he acquires their laurels then bring him for comparison

raumdeuter:
Who could he be monitoring at COpa America?

Hope not Di Maria
