Nihilist:


I cba to do a full breakdown but Fab has assisted Costa 4 times in the league this season, Matic 3.

And 6 of Costa's goals are from set piece.

I'm sure at least 2 of those set piece goals are from Matic flickons. Maybe in the morning I'll go and review the tapes on YouTube

Do an analysis and tell how many of those goals came directly from Fabregas set piece to COsta and goal

For many games Fabregas and Willian were not even on the field this season, SO who was taking set pieces

Greatihex:
did iniesta post neymar numbers to make the podium?

Iniesta won UCL and World Cup. He is lucky as far as I am concerned. Hazard should either get lucky or starting posting numbers.

We know those we shouldn't and can't compare Hazard to in World footie right now.


They are just 2, just 2...there is absolutely nothing special about the rest attackers.

Chelseafan1:


Hazard scored beautiful point-winning goals against ALL the big teams this season, Arsenal, Spurs, Man city, Man utd, Liverpool, Everton.

There is a reason he has been the only attacker with a guaranteed spot in the team since he joined.

He doesn't do like Zaha at all.

All these dogo turenci

Why do strikers enjoy playing with fabregas more tan with Hidden

you can continue saying that till you are red in the face truth is when you look at the numbers Hazard is closer to Zaha than to the top

Nihilist:

BUT I have no doubt in my mind that he can do better than Neymar with the right supporting cast.

We have heard this before

In Belgium he has a better support cast than Neymar had with Brazil and Neymar is double of Hazard production

We know who is rated higher by sensible men of the game not one nairaland pundit.

The only striker both of them play with Diego Costa

Which yeye supporting cast, what did De bryune do at the last Euros abi na doz make - shift Lukaku brodas wey spoil game against Wales be better supporting cast that are better than Marcelo, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva of life or Felipe and David Luiz

Seriously. . .

Shey u sef dey see the kind foolishness wey we dey deal with for Nairaland.

Nihilist:

Of course, each site has it's own subjective metrics and bias, but if they were unanimous about Hazard being better than Sanchez thus far thus season, then it sends a very loud message..

I disagree because even that is subjective. If I'm taking these rankings at face value and judging two attackers, I'm only concerned with their attack score, not their defence score that may be dependent on Azpilicueta and co keeping clean sheets. . . especially in the case of these two particular players as they have free roles in their respective teams with little or no defensive input expected from either of them.

Nihilist:

Ibime I wish Hazard leaves Chelsea for Madrid today so that he can catch a serviceable Ororo. You will see what the boy is made of. That dude can be foolish sometimes BUT I have no doubt in my mind that he can do better than Neymar with the right supporting cast.

Neymars Brazil record of 50+ goals tells me that if we hold all things constant, that is the kind of output needed to achieve Neymar numbers in Spain.

The parable of the talents comes to mind here. Hazard must post great numbers in EPL before I believe that. Sanchez was thrown out of Barca by Neymar. Hazard must post Sanchez numbers first. Even Neymar junior Gabriel Jesus is starting to post numbers albeit in a different role. That should tell you the gap that needs to be bridged to post Neymar numbers.

The only striker both of them play with Diego Costa

I tot u said strikers....Abi u don forget difference between singular and plural again.

Nihilist:


A third of Costa's goals this season have come from set pieces which the likes of Fabregas and Willian take.

i think the main thing is the type of goals Costa scores.
Look at that Costa's second goal in one of our matches where he exchanged one two with pedro and hazard. That is one of the rarest goals you will see costa score. But, that is exactly hazard's style of play. He likes to exchange short intelligent passes with his striker. Fabregas in the other hand plays crosses.
Again, hazard draws players to himself and free Fabregas to play in a pass or cross. That is why both have a very good understanding and hazard is always passing to the person who gets the assist.

raumdeuter:


WHich striker hasnt wasted clear cut chances created by a midfielder? Has Costa not wasted chances created by Fabregas?

So why does Fabregas have more assists than Hidden

That can only mean Fabregas constantly delivers quality assists while Hidden most time just lumps the ball and hopes Costa does something with it

is that also why pedro have more assist than hazard, quality passes?

Chelseafan1:


Shey u sef dey see the kind foolishness wey we dey deal with for Nairaland.

I was even shocked he was comparing Zaha to Hazard. . . Zaha is triple what Hazard is. .

Would rather have Zaha than that unproductive Hazard. .

Greatihex:

Yes Pedro more assists in less games abi shey Pedro dey bring assist from home

Chelseafan1 see better people. If only Zaha had Costa to support instead of Benteke

You better mail your team to bid for Zaha wey Man utd throway comot

Chelseafan1:

you mentioned defenders why not Jo Fred Oscar William and Hulk.

Yes the same Oscar you hazard fans blamed for his poor output

Exchange Debruyne mertens naingollan Lukaku for Ramirez Fred hulk Oscar

Chelseafan1:


You better mail your team to bid for Zaha wey Man utd throway comot

my team won't bid for either. Let hidden try going to Crystal palace to assist Benteke and see if he'll be better than Bolasie

Dayo Dayo Dayo....Zaha haba .....This is even worse than Airmark comparing twerps like Holding and Smalling to Boateng.

raumdeuter:

How many of those were starters then, We know Coutinho, Gustavo, Paulinho etc etc.

Defence by Lukaku brothers led Belgium down, you still havent told me what De bryune did well at the Euros or did he miss it.? Cos I am even confused sef.

When we call you an idiot now, some pple will say we are insulting Elders, look at the person you are taking serious?

TeflonBlixx:


Morons like you should be castrated. .

0'lord of Logic and reasoning, So goals and assists are the only metric used in judging players??

You guys never cease to amaze tbh, Now it is coutinho is better than Hazard?? This shyte is getting stale.

And, you were saying Coutinho has more goals and assists than Hazard. . Prove it to us morafucker. .

I'm waiting.

Ibime:


Since you believe it, take it.

when Sanchez played mostly as cf for his team this season. Weldone!

Forget the name, wear a full body disguise for both and wear butt pads for Zaha

You won't know the difference. Their football iq is similar. Pius Ikedia type football. And let Zaha take penalties instead of Benteke

You don't wonder why both are the ones topping take on charts with little assists to show
