your right this season, does that mean he is crap at defending, his tackling and interception stats are still good. I am not saying he is a great passer or a great midfielder but hazard is faster than him. Unless there is a midfielder in the first team that is better at defending than he is.
Country: England
Honeymoon period is well and truly over. Now I know why he was at Charlton and Freiburg.
He's poor. Opposing teams abandon him and double/triple press his unfortunate midfield partner. Like @Furious said, it just goes to highlight how goddamn good Cazorla is.
I simply can't respect the footballing knowdledge of anyone (except @Aevius)who compared this clogger to Kante.

Get rid. The people defending this joke in the Kante transfer thread was hilarious. Easy to upgrade, brings little to the team, didnt deserve a new contract. **** off.
Just seen another replay of the 2nd goal, unbelievable that he would try that in that position.

Not the level we need. Nowhere near. Embarrassing 'defending' for Hazard's goal.
Country: Wales
Don't need to suggest it, pretty obvious imo. He can't pass a ball to save his f*cking life. Yes he can put a tackle in every now and again but we're playing a midfield 2. Like @Trilly said mark everyone but him and every attack breaks down.

Why? and that pirouette when tracking Hazard
Country: England
In all fairness it initially looked like he could adapt to a more B2B role.
I never had faith but I couldn't blame others for thinking it though as he had pulled off some decent performances.
Just goes to show that players have to be judged over as wide a sample of games as possible.
He wasn't that bad in the first half but dear lord, what was he on when he came back for the 2nd?
Wow!
Wow!
Yeah, I'm admittedly forced to rethink what I said now. He started the season reasonably well, but more and more teams are identifying him as a weak point, learning how to deal with him, and Coq just doesn't have the quality to combat that. He has his uses, but he isn't a first-team player, that much is clear. I'm starting to groan a little seeing him in the lineup, just because it's clear it'll give us some possession and penetration issues.
And yes, Kante is better than Coq. Though tbf, he has a lot more help defending and less pressure on him to create, which makes his job easier than Coq's (who is demanded a lot playing in our two-man midfield). I think that's often overlooked.

What the hell was he thinking. Ramsey-esque stuff.
