The battle of nr 10s

The skilful style of play of all these, is of a sort where they need to be on top form to be fully effective. They will all have periods when they are off form. Even Messi and Ronaldo have had periods when they have been relatively ineffective.
The sort of player who gets by on "work rate" will be much more consistent - but wont be able to offer the moments of magic which skill players can.
Players such as Silva, Hazard, Kagawa, and Cazorla cannot be judged on the basis of just a few games. Which is why at present as far as the EPL is concerned, it's still Silva first and the rest nowhere.

yeah, but the thread is prediction who will be rated as the best end of the season. Offcourse Silva is proven in the league and the other 3 has just come here, so he's done far more. But I think all 4 have the same role in their teams. They are the player their team look at for creativityFrank H said:The skilful style of play of all these, is of a sort where they need to be on top form to be fully effective.

1. Cazorla
2. Silva
3. Kagawa
4. Hazard
I have no doubts about Cazorla. Silva is a bit more of an assist specialist who likes to operate in the final third. Cazorla is the more well rounded player who can dictate games from deeper positions. Bit like Iniesta in that regard that he isn't just an assist automaton (obviously nowhere near in quality though), ridiculously ambidextrous and a very good freekick taker. A bit more prolific than Silva as well. Silva's main problem is inconsistency. You have noticed the difference between his first and second half of the last season I guess. When he's on he is fantastic. But often he gets dropped completely from the starting XI (WC 2010) for being off.
Kagawa is very talented but he's playing for the wrong team. Ferguson probably has no clue how to manage a proper mediapunta since he never coached one. From what I can see United are still playing like a traditional 4-4-2 team despite lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Ignoring the centre of the pitch (or simply lacking quality there), getting the ball out wide to Nani / Valencia, putting random crosses in - repeat. When the white Pele is fit again Kagawa will most likely be misused as an out and out winger anyway.
Hazard is the most overrated of the bunch. He will disappear at crunch time. Let him have his glory minutes against Reading and Wigan at the start of the season when the adrenaline is still pumping, playing for his new team.

Here is Cazorla in each of his games up-till now. I think he's been great from the start. Decide for yourself.
