As much as I'm loath to agree with the hugely overrated Mourinho I can see why he criticised Hazard.
He's been incredibly selfish in this World Cup. In most of the games he slows play down terribly by trying to prove he's as good as Messi and holding on to the ball, trying to beat half the opposition side on his own. De Bruyne is wiling and has ability but is incredibly erratic. I don't know how Benteke has played for Belgium but you would have thought they miss him a lot.
I like Witsel - although a lot of people might disagree I think he performs the water-carrier role superbly. I struggle to think of a misplaced pass or a mistake in may of the games. The problem is that his sort of player is there to be steady, to always be an option for the player in possession and not to be concerned with doing anything spectacular, but to give it to the creative or attacking threats. The problem is that he doesn't really have any major threats to give it to who won't promptly lose the ball.
