Eden Hazard vs Mo Salah: Who’s the better footballer? Was Hazard the greatest dribbler the Premier League has ever seen? And should he have achieved more in his career?

We look back at the career of one of the Premier League’s most electrifying and easy-on-the-eye players. From dazzling defenders to dominating at his peak, Eden Hazard had it all… but did his laid-back approach ultimately hold him back from true all-time greatness?

  1. No way they'd have mentioned Rodgers and Doku there instead of Cherki if this was recorded this month. It's also surprising Yamal and Olise didn’t get a mention even if it's a PL panel/segment. Love this series, though.

  2. I know it was recorded a while ago but it’s funny that they’re speaking about how they want “more of this” right after Cherki did something special against Arsenal

  3. Anyone find these episodes a bit meh. I know everything about these players. Looks like they've just filmed a load in one day to just do less episodes 😢

  4. it's crazy to think how good he COULD have been if he tried a bit more instead of every now and again. went missing in games so often, seemed way too comfortable and safe, often late to training, never bothered with a proper diet – would eat pizza and shi before games. If he had 10% of Willian's work rate at the time he would've been insane, such a shame!

  5. My favourite Hazard story was from before he signed for Chelsea. Liverpool had approached Hazard and he was about to sign the contract but just before he signed it Steven Gerrard came up to Hazard and told him "as long as I play for Liverpool you'll always be second fiddle to me, I'm the local hero, I'm the best player, and you're not". Hazard smirked then tore up the contract and signed for Chelsea and the rest is history.

  6. I like the part where we only saw 3 clips of Hazard but spent the majority of the video listening to Gary talk about himself instead 👍🏼

  7. Hazards Madrid story is so sad, he had surgery on that ankle and then the country went in lockdown a few days later so he couldn’t have any rehab or physio. People are way too harsh about his Madrid days imo.

  8. Hazard was such a beautiful player to watch. Great touch, technique, pace, vision…a special talent.

    Football is "the Beautiful game" because of flair/Maverick players, but these attributes are being coached out of players at an early age.

    Academies won't produce players like Gazza, Okocha, Ronaldinho, John Barnes, Hazard, Zidane, Henry, R9, Messi, Maradona etc… the players that entertain.

    Maybe you could do an episode on "Mavericks" and who haven't hit the heights they could have (Taarabt and Balotelli for instance)

  9. There's this over the top through ball he does where he does a reverse kick off his heel in some kind of overhead pass. Never seen anything like it.

  10. Hazard made me fall in love with the game. Made me fall in love with Chelsea💙. One of the biggest regrets I have is that I didn't get to see him live. What have they done to my club😭

  11. Hazard was so entertaining that he made me love watching him play even tho I despise Chelsea. That’s what special players do they transcend rivalries and tribalism

  12. It’s mental to think Chelsea squeezed every single last bit of brilliance out of him, 8 years then get £100m on top of all his legendary seasons 🤯

  13. After watching him for a few months in the Premier League.. my friend and I bought new football boots to go out and play.

    He is the best dribbler to play in the league 100%.
