Adriano was devastated after his father died. He couldn't overcome his loss. Affect his game, his training, his life... for atleast 2-3 years, it was late for him to make comeback, think he lost desire for that anyway. Shame, becuse he was a beast, skillful one.

what a hell happened to Hazard is mistery to me.

Last season he was one of the best players in the world.

Now that the whole team is severly underperforming, he's mediocre.
That's exactly why he isn't a great player. He can't give a hand to his team, doesn't standout in any way in this pile of mess called Chelsea. He can only blend into surroundings and overall mediocrity, as in its core he's utterly an average football player. Mentally he's weak, never seen him perform in big CL encounters.

Although a point can be made about him not being exactly deciding in big matches, I think it's unfair to rob him of any world-class qualities he may have as a footballer just because he's undeperforming in a underperforming team.

Chelsea's been sad to watch since 2015 started, not just this season. The way they played against PSG was not a one-off, that was their M.O. for the entire second half of last season. Hazard carried them to the title for half a season, with the help of competition that doesn't know what consistently getting results looks like. I don't know why he's gone into Casper mode this season, it could be due to the fact he's been overplayed for the last two and a half seasons, or the reports of a player revolt could be true, but those saying he was mediocre prior to this season are viewing reality through hate-tinted lenses.

I think Adriano had the worst collapse after his dad died.

I have never been very impressed with Hazard. He is a good player no doubt but nothing close to greats like Robben, or Ribery (a couple of years ago) or bale or Neymar or even Sanchez. His stats are pretty poor including the penalties he scored and he never struck me as being a good finisher nor as having the right instincts to poach goals nor very good decision making. He can dribble and play short passes in tight spaces exceptionally well but he is not the brightest nor the most lethal. He does have very good potential though. This season he has exhibited mental weakness as well.

What are Soldado, Hazard and Costa doing there?

And to answer your question, it has to be Adriano.
Soldado used to be a good player. Nothing spectacular but reliably good nevertheless. He went to the EPL and failed to score for an entire season if I remember correctly.

Costa was world class for the last two seasons first with ATM and then with Chelsea. Extremely physical, lots of grinta, lethal instincts and very good finishing. This season he is Amaurisque.
