How did Hazard perform when Mourinho turned to shit though? He (and his teammates) refused to show up, became a pale shadow of the player we all know. Chelsea avoided the same fate with Conte because there was a lot of discontent before he was given the sack. My contention is that the same thing is happening to our players under Mourinho. The problems in the dressing room have been talked about to death. I never said Pogba won the CL, I said he's more decorated than Hazard and he's two years younger. Hazard's current teammates are better than Pogba's, that's why I mentioned that at the end. Pogba has to contend with partners like Matic and Fellaini. Three years in Mourinho still doesn't know how best to deploy Pogba. I don't think he's a proper CM, he should be further up the field and this is the general consensus.
Hazard won PFA player of the year and won the league the previous year under Mourinho, so when he turned to shite the next season it was clear the problem isn't in him. Next season, he won Conte the league again, so when he had an average next season ( not bad, average one), it was clear the problem isn't in him too. This is the problem with the logic of throwing Ronaldo and Hazard problems to excuse Pogba. These guys actually won their teams big trophies, and played great under Mourinho at some point before falling out with him.
On the other hand, Pogba has done sweet feck all for us and in PL since he joined, and his success was with teams full of world class players. He has never been shown to be able to play the main super star of the team. Wasn't and isn't at Juve and France, unlike Hazard who is always the main focus of his team. He got exposed here from the very first season when he was given this role. He keeps having the same problem, having a great game followed by a stinker, even in his first season when his relationship with Mourinho was still good. Same problems. His inconsistency and moody atittude has been his theme here.
If he's unable to play the super star role and drag the team up week in week out then there's no point of him, because he's not a proper CM anyway, doesn't press, doesn't tackle, doesn't intercept and useless when the opposition has the ball so if he's not going to be the player dragging his team forward every match like the rest of the PL big teams superstar, then what's the point ? I don't get it.
