****ing embarrassing. Hazard torpedoing this team’s chemistry.
Commentators brought up how “this group” fizzled out on the previous 2 managers as well, that a change to the core of the team may be in order. So maybe Hazard dicking around with leaving for Spain isn’t the sole reason for the team’s current performance.
Nobody said “sole”.
Imagine Ovechkin dreaming to the press about playing for the Rangers repeatedly. You don’t think that has, Oh I don’t know....a major impact on the room?
Soccer players are a spoiled bunch. See Manchester United.
You said Hazard torpedoed the teams chemistry. You didn’t give the impression you thought there were other factors for the teams bad play. My bad.
6-Zippy now. Surely heads will need to roll sooner or later right?
I don’t need to spell it out for you. His nonsense has infected this team for multiple seasons now.

Strikes me as similar situations to Alexis Sanchez with Arsenal and Philippe Coutinho with Liverpool, though I'd rank the order of petulance with Sanchez firmly in first place followed by Hazard then Coutinho in a distant third. All those guys are dynamic talents but the prolonged drama around their situations created a black cloud over their teams. It's no surprise, in my opinion, that both Arsenal and Liverpool improved when those guys left and it's also not a surprise to me that neither of those players lived up to expectations in their new surroundings.
Edit: on this topic, Why Klopp Wanted Coutinho to Leave Liverpool.
Alrighty then.
This team **** the bed on Mourinho, Conte and now Sarri. It’s all Hazard’s fault. Got it.
Yikes.
