Bale from goal scoring not in terms of all round game
He didn’t run games like Hazard did, not at all
Hazard was a pure hooper carried that Chelsea team on his back for years, key player in multiple title winnings season. Y’all need to go it some respect on his name
FWIW, we really could’ve done with a Hazard type player during the banter era. We probably would’ve actually won something significant if he was here instead of Pepe etc.
You’re making it like he led fucking Leicester to the PL.
He was playing with a bunch of top players himself and was also managed by top managers too.
Cech, Courtois, Azpi, Terry, Cahill, Rudiger, Kante, Matic, Fabregas, Willian, Pedro, Costa, etc.
He had managers like Mourinho and Conte at their peak.
Leicester ? You really are talking some utter bullshit aren’t you
No, I’m saying he should be given the credit for those title wins and it goes beyond numbers too unlike Bale where he’s running games, he was an utter joy to watch in terms of a complete game. He didn’t have score to be the best player on the pitch.
When I’m saying carried it was him that was dominating in big title deciding games.
I agree, Hazard and De Bruyne were both world class but they were also at clubs that had top quality players in every position as well as on the bench.
But Gerrard was a world class player with very few similar quality players alongside so he carried that team to success in the CL in a way that Hazard or De Bruyne didn’t need to.
