If he is so perfect as a false 9 why has he always been dreadful when he's played there for chelsea?
Playing as a false 9 for Conte and playing as a false 9 for Pep Guardiola are different things. Strange that you are using that to judge him. Messi would struggle if he is isolated between the lines and has no passing options and receives long balls with no ball to feet.
Where was Hazard receiveing the ball? how was he receiving the ball? Was he creating overloads? Was he facing his goal or the opposition goal? Did he have players stretching the pitch horizontally for him to drive into?
