Eden Hazard has slammed Chelsea's defensive tactics during the 1-0 defeat at Manchester City on Sunday and admitted his frustrations at not having more of the ball. The 27-year-old is a key player for the Blues and has become one of the best in Europe, however having played in the false nine role against the Premier League leaders at the Etihad Stadium he was massively ineffective. Hazard mustered no shots throughout the whole 90 minutes and the Belgian also hardly got a touch of the ball in a really negative display from the Blues. The Belgian was clearly frustrated during the game as he had to watch the ball fly over his head on several occasions, and that was something that he vented after the match as well. "I wouldn't have got a touch even if we played for three hours, even if we improved in the last 10 or 15 minutes. We were better with the ball, but we needed to do that during the whole match," Hazard said. "For me personally, it's hard to play well if you only get the ball three times. But, when we got the ball, we had to use it better - we made the wrong choices.

"I was trying to jump, but it's not easy to win duels against Nicolas Otamendi and Aymeric Laporte. We didn't play to our strengths today. If Morata or Giroud played, it would have been easier to play with long balls. I did my best. "Conte put me up front, I tried to do my maximum, but I don't think we played a good match. "We have had opportunities against Barcelona, but nothing at all today. It was difficult, especially to get out of their pressing. "If you have the ball, you immediately have three, four men on your skin. We also missed easy passes. We did not play a good game collectively, but we are going to work hard to do better next week."
