If Hakim is not playing a full 90min when returning from the world cup he should leave, Chelsea is really killing him and his career. His great performance at the world cup with Morocco is just another proof of his amazing skills, this guy is not called a wizard for nothing. He's not gonna give you anything if you keep him on a bench and only play him for 15 to 20 min. Hakim is capable of so much, his talent is so underrated especially by Chelsea. As our Moroccan coach said . As moroccans we're so proud of him, we hope he'll find a place where he can be more appreciated and can be given the chance to show his real capabilities like he does at home🇲🇦 ✨❤️

[@titusosiemo9697]

So glad how he's transformed and adapted to Tuchel's way of playing. Hope he continues to deliver in crucial games

[@frankylampard3931]

He hasnt, we just went to a back 4 and he finally played Ziyech on the right rather than the left in a back 5 . Look at all his Motm games, all back 4 with him on right where he can cut in. Not rocket science

[@fikayo.t1400]

It’s funny because I never thought about this view he’s never had to play in a back 5 before playing for Chelsea and having to adapt in the hardest league in the world is not an easy task

[@NazriB]

Lies again? Problem Solving

[@jon780249]

Ziyech took a lot of unfair criticism in his first season, when he was injured frequently. But anyone that saw him when he was fit knew what an exceptional player he is. It takes time for players to adapt, but also to find form and fluency when they come back from injury. Let’s hope he goes from strength to strength as he is one of Chelsea’s best recent signings. He is also very intelligent and honest about the game.

[@SugarRayOPrey]

I dont think the first season was unfair criticism. He wasn't good enough. Different story this season and I'm now eating my words. For me, it looks like he's running more and also trying defensively which we didn't first season.

[@younessdirect5403]

@@SugarRayOPrey The first season before his jnjury under Lampard he was good and important in the groupstage of the CL. After the injury he needed to find his form with an other coach and in an other system. Also the second half of the season he showed that he was an important player with 2 winning goals against city and an important goal against athletico in the quarter finals CL. He just struggled a lot with his injuries and with this system. I believe that he will be the difference against real madrid like was for Ajax

[@shaunaqpaul3078]

Timo has transformed under Tuchel. Its all about expectations. If you want Timo to be your front man number 9, Yes I agree with you that he hasnt been at his best. But if you actually watch him play and how he does so, he is a beast in the wide positions and even when he is playing in a strikers role, he drifts wide and draws defenders with him amazingly with his pace and off the ball movement. And if you talk about statistics, Timo is actually on par with Ziyech except he has one less assist this season. I love Timo's determination to always work for the badge, you will never see him walking on the pitch when theres an opportunity to attack.

First time I saw Hakim play was his wonderkick when he was with Ajax playing against us, his body expression after scoring makes a very strong statement that he's a real deal. Though not too happy that we Chels conceded but it's a strange thing that I immediately liked him as a player, no matter it's about his skill or self-confidence, I still kept the gif of that scene in my cellphone. So glad Hakim's with us right now.
