that's the part that confuses me
last season was the season where mourinho challenged hazard to play better defensively, be a team player. he came through, was the best player in the league. he still had free roam capability
this off-season, mourinho says things like he'd take him over ronaldo, he's been a fantastic player, but hazard comes back fat and is our worst player outside of ivanovic
doesn't make sense to me. i don't understand where the dispute came in from in this case. it's not as if he suddenly had a revelation that he wanted a transfer in the summer, and was declined and that's why he has been **** since day one of pre-season.
i'd understand it if he was some god for belgium during the international breaks but he wasn't. he was the exact same player.
and weirdly enough, just like matic and fabregas - fabregas had that one great game against maccabi, but was **** the next. matic had the great game against dynamo kyiv, was **** the next. i didn't watch the midweek game against stoke that we lost, but hazard was apparently really good (even though he missed his pen), but was the worst player on the field against liverpool.
i miss courtois.
