A thread on why Eden Hazard is clear of Salah https://twitter.com/giniiwijnaldum/status/1280537731295215616

Liverpool fans like to bring G/A when talking about Salah. Then defend Firmino to the death and still slate Hazard without realising how similar their play styles are. Firmino and Hazard both like to drop deep, take defenders on and create. Still scores a lot for his play style

Eden Hazard has a staggering 41 G/A against the top 6 in 7 years (2012-2019) Mohamed Salah has 18 G/A in 3 years (2017-2020). Eden Hazard achieved this at a much younger age. Salah theoretically is on target to equal hazards tally despite being more direct and more advanced

Salah was class in 17/18 and it’s up there with being one of the best seasons ever. Salah since 17/18 has played in an attack with Mane and Firmino. World class. While Hazard has played with Morata, Higuain, Pedro and Willian. Hazard still managed 15 assists in 18/19

Yes Hazard has scored less than Salah in the CL. Ronaldinho has scored less CL goals than Willian, doesn’t make him better. Chelsea’s CL finishes since Hazard came: Group, Semi, R16, R16, N/A, R16, N/A. Hazard can’t be expected to carry all the time.

A list of Eden Hazard’s individual awards

At the 2018 World Cup Eden Hazard got 3 goals and 2 assists as he carried Belgium to their highest ever finish. Not one single bad game and against Brazil and France he took part in one of the best individual performances without a goal or assist. Robbed off the golden ball

Not once in the thread I’m quoting did I see anything other than G/A stats. So let’s start. Eden Hazard has the third most chances created out of any player on the planet since 2006 (885 now after restart) only behind Payet and Lionel Messi

Reminder that when Hazard was 20 he scored 20 and set up 18 more in 38 league games to carry his Lille side to their first league title in 50 long years. Salah at 21/22 was being benched by Hazard, Willian and Andre Schurrle

Eden Hazard won 6 trophies in 7 years at Chelsea. Playing a pivotal role in all of them. I’d just like to say that Eden Hazard left Chelsea as the Premier league player of the decade. Don’t compare, Hazard is CLEAR
