Le Tissier: “Hazard got a lack of confidence at the moment”
Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier commented on Eden Hazard’s moment.
According to the former striker the Belgian star is not performing at the level of the past season, where he won the PFA Player of the Year Award after leading Chelsea to win the Premier League and the Capital One Cup.
Signs of the real Eden Hazard appeared last night in the match against Maccabi Tel Aviv but the Belgian showed he’s not at the top yet when he missed a penalty after just five minutes:
“This boy does not look like the same person that shone so brightly last season.
“He really is out of sorts. You could see that from the penalty. With his penalties he always looks at the goalkeepers anyway but this time he looks at the ‘keeper, looks down, then looks up again.
“As he’s going to take this penalty and I don’t know if he’s seen the goalkeeper move the way he’s going to hit the ball and panics slightly but he skies it miles over the crossbar. There’s a real lack of confidence in his play at the minute.”

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier has claimed Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is keen to land Edin Dzeko to Stamford Bridge as “strengthening the squad” is the main target of the Italian at this stage.
“I think they are in trouble in terms of the top four and that it will be very tight” he told Sky Sports.
“I think Spurs have had their dodgy spell for the season and will challenge Chelsea all the way”.
Le Tissier added: “Antonio Conte doesn’t look like a man loving his job and if he doesn’t get his way in terms of strengthening the squad then I could see a parting of ways”.
“In terms of a back-up striker, Dzeko is as good as any out there, averaging a goal every 1.5 games over the last 18 months.”
