Eden Hazard was exceptional in our win over Cardiff City. The Belgian scored a hat-trick and pushed the Blues to the top of the Premier League.
He already has five goals and two assists in five league appearances so far. Former England player Stuart Pearce, however, believes that Hazard can score 40 goals a season – only if he joins a rival!
Pearce was speaking to talkSPORT (h/t Metro) and said:
“I’m not sure Chelsea will dominate the league enough to create enough chances for Hazard to get 40 goals, because of Liverpool and Manchester City.”
“Put him in the Liverpool and Manchester City team at this moment in time and I think he might be able to.”
The Englishman expressed surprise at the fact that no club have tried to woo Hazard away from Chelsea.
Here are some of the reactions from our fans.
Eden Hazard would be able to reach his 40-goal target at Liverpool but not in this current Chelsea side, according to Stuart Pearce. [Metro]
Another uneducated pundit opinion. This would be true if we were still managed by Mourinho and Conte but under Sarri this isn’t the case. pic.twitter.com/U4bVw1n718

Stuart Pearce going on about Hazard getting 40 goals with City or Liverpool… needs to pipe down, terrible manager who’s opinion interests who exactly?

Weird how we’ve scored the most goals in the league? Think we’ve found the partnership now. Giroud-Hazard

Stuart Pearce probably still thinks Antonio Conte is in charge and we’re playing defensive football with 3-4-3. Dinosaur.
