To be fair it is, it clearly means u think Sanchez is better, but i just wanted to clarify
It's hard one. Both players on similar level when on top of their game but for Arsenal it will have to be Alexis. We needed a goal scorer and Alexis provides that. Still doesn't take away the fact a proper top class striker is needed but Alexis has improved us a lot in that aspect.
Hazard on the other hand is great for linking up play his change of pace and right dribbling is fantastic to watch. But as I say Alexis has that edge and that's why I choose him.
I know you don't have to be a stat wh ore and that's fine but Sanchez impresses me more often as he is in a team with let's call it "lesser" players than ourselves and he thrives, Many a games like yesterday Hazard is invisible then comes to life with a moment of brilliance, Sanchez seems to be always involved in the game.

i find it strange why people cant just be objective, i understand that chelsea fans will be biased towards Hazard & likewise Arsenal fans to Sanchez.
So rather than decide who the better player is, cos both set of fans will never reach an agreement, we can decide who thus far has had a better season:
Eg Welbz or Costa - Costa
Courtois or Szcz - Courtois
Sanchez or Hazard - Sanchez
Chelsea or Arsenal - Chelsea
----------------------------------------------------------------------
there are some Chelsea fans who have said Sanchez and some Arsenal fans who have said Hazard....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Really!!! which Chelsea fan said Sanchez?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Me and TLLL
Hazard is a tremendous player - but I would choose Alexis for Arsenal because his will to win and drive is on a par with Suarez and that is something Arsenal as a team lacks.
I would actually say it depends - at different times of the season, one has been better than the other. At the moment, Sanchez is on top but there have been times this season when Hazard has been better. They are both phenomenal players.
I also think Hazard is more a technical player who has great balance with the ball at his feet and almost impossible to tackle. Alexis has that burst of pace which he uses to cut inside and shoot - which is where he really is better than Hazard.
Shame we didn't buy him in the summer as Hazard - Costa - Sanchez would be an unbelievable combination!

Sanchez has a bigger impact on the whole game than hazard. Hazard is younger so might inprove his goal scoring. But for now, sanchez is ahead of him.
Obviously Both top class players
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Disagree completely.
Hazard affects the whole match a lot more ASIDE from hitting the ball in the net.
Sanchez is regularly meh but he gets the goals. Fair play to him.
I'd love to have him in my team.
In fact, I think they are very different players who'd compliment each other wonderfully.

I have to agree with Eric. I think they're both great but at present Sanchez is in better form. Alexis is great when he cuts inside and he was really good for Barça last season too but he went missing in a lot of games. Hazard is improving every time I see him. My big criticism of him before is that he wasn't involved in games a lot. This season he is involved a lot more. If you could find the stats - I wouldn't be surprised if you found Hazard at the top of the dribbling stats.
The problem is most fans and football journalists just see goals and not the rest.
I think what is missed by opposition fans regarding Hazard which he has over his rivals is what he does in his own half. By that I do not mean defensive work (although no doubt Mourinho has got more out of him in that regard) but just how important he is on the counter attack. When Chelsea are defending the ball will inevitably find Hazard and he’ll instigate an attack from an early stage before getting involved again in a more advanced position.
Both brilliant players but one thing is for sure, I wouldn’t dream of swapping Hazard for Sanchez. Sanchez is a player Barca let go, Hazard is one the big two in Spain will probably attempt to sign for big money at some point and he also has age on his side.
Hazard’s finishing is the one thing that really lets him down but I think that will come, Suarez wasted a lot of chances in his first year at Liverpool. If Hazard put away a few more of his chances I don’t even think it would be up for discussion.
Stats are not always the best guide but it would be interesting to see which has more dribbles, more passes, assists and who is the most fouled as it would give some sort of idea.
Just from watching the games this season, O'd guess that Alexis has more assists and goals - but he plays more forward but Hazard is better in the other stats as he's more involved in the team and build up. Hazard generally picks the ball up much deeper than Alexis.
Yeah way deeper. Hazard will usually get it near the left side touch line well in to his own half. He actually tends to do the same thing every time but despite this his close ball control allows him to pull it off. He’ll take his marker up the wing until he’s taken another marker out of the game as they double up on him and support arrives infield. He then turns inside and offloads the ball around the centre circle to the likes of Willian, Fabregas or Oscar before getting in to space around the edge of the box where he’ll likely be the one to make something happen.
Hard one.
Who is better statistically? Sanchez.
Who do I prefer to watch? Hazard.
Who would I rather in my side? Hazard.
Hazard for me.
You say statistically Alexis but only if you look at the goals/assists. Look at dribbles, passes and fouls against then Hazard.

Stats can represent whatever you want them too - just look deep enough.
