As good as Hazard ???? That is some statement,can tell the sun is out
Yup. Meant it with regards to our own fans as opposed to just the nomination snub.Because the media assassination of his character worked. Whether blues want to admit it or not its affected a lot of our own fans as well unfortunately. Sane gets more leeway despite being the same age... Whilst watching that video there were a number of chances Sterling put on a plate for a team mate and they scuffed it, but they aren't Sterling so they're in the clear. Yeah, Raheem misses a few, but I bet he also gets a lot more chances than everyone else in the team too. He never sulks either, whether its going his way or not. Funny how Pep nearly always starts him, despite all of the projected best 11s at the season start had him on the bench behind Jesus, Bernardo, Sane, Aguero, Alexis, etc.
Notably, Bernardo in his CityTV interview, name dropped Sterling as someone who should have been up for player of the season along the three nominated. A player that has been keeping Bernardo out of the team. Shows you how much his team mates think of him despite the greater football world still being apprehensive.

A long way still to go imo
Hazard’s best ever season in the league was last season when he was 26 years old. 16 goals and 5 assists.
Sterling is 23 years old and has 17 goals and 8 assists which he can still add to.
This season Hazard is 27 yo and has 12 goals and 5 assists.
Stats aren’t everything but where was Hazard in both Barcelona games?? Where was he in the EFL semi finals against Arsenal??
He goes missing often and when it’s not going well for him and the team he puts his head down and disappears.
Sterling has missed sitters and still continues to work hard, create chances and so on. Crucial to our success. His last minute Bournemouth winner started an amazing run, Soton last second winner was remarkable and countless other moments.
Said last season that Raz would surpass Hazard and go on to become one of the best. Didn’t think it would be so soon. Still has a lot to improve on but if he does improve he is a 40 goal a season player. The same can’t be said for Hazard.
So you don’t think Sterling has been as good as Hazard this season? Pretty sure I read that Sterling has scored more this season than Hazard has ever scored in one season. Sterling needs to keep at this level for several seasons, which I think he will do.
This season,probably on a par,irrelevant of how Chelsea have done this season,Hazard is Chelsea's best player,by a mile,you are not suggesting Sterling is ours I'm sure,but I would not let Hazard make way to fit Sterling in the team,in fact Bernardo Silva will do that next season anyway.
Let me give you a thought,say picking dream team for instance,you had 5m to spend,and it is Sterling or Hazard..........miles more consistent and all round far better footballer,I'd take him in a heartbeat
For me its what Hazard can do in sky blue as to what he has done in dark blue. Under pep, I think we would see the old Hazardsterling has been miles better then hazard this season. it doesn't seem to matter what sterling does he just doesn't get the credit he deserves. he's been better then sane, hazard for me, but doesnt get the same leeway. tbh don't even know why your being almost critical of him... going to guess you dont rate him and never have ?

I've been very critical of Sterling this season yea,and stick by it
I dont think you'd ever see Hazard doing what Raheem was doing so well against Liverpool in the second leg - pressing, harrying and tracking runs.For me its what Hazard can do in sky blue as to what he has done in dark blue. Under pep, I think we would see the old Hazard
