Popular pundit, John Barnes has said Chelsea should emulate Liverpool when it comes to dealing with their best player, as it is high time they got rid of Eden Hazard, same way Liverpool did with Coutinho.
Liverpool agreed to sell Coutinho in the winter transfer window of 2018.
The Brazilian was a vital member in Jurgen Klopp’s team but was sanctioned to leave, and he has not been missed as the reds have gone from strength to strength since his exit.
John Barnes now thinks Chelsea can also gain from such a move by letting Hazard go.
His words, “I think they need to get away from Eden Hazard.
“I think Liverpool, when Coutinho left, they were a much better team.
“I think Hazard influences the team so much that anywhere he goes you have to give him the ball.
“They’ve got good players and they can’t show their worth.”
“When Coutinho left, as much as he was the best player, the team became a better team.
“And I think Hazard dominates that team so much that every time they get the ball they have to give it to him.
“I think they’ve got to get away from Hazard because they’ve got good players, like Willian and Pedro.
“But they’re not able to show what they can do because it’s all about Hazard.”
