Willian

[OneMoSalah 8,616]

Poor decision making all day long. Too many touches or not timing passes right, shame because he carries the ball well in moments and can open space up for people but today he was frustrating.

[The Skipper 20,593]

He has no final third brain. Lovely technique, great close control, just no vision. Shame. 

[yuvala 2,167]

Wow.. shocking today

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

If Willian doesn't ruin 1373892 attacks did he really play? 

Cannot wait until he's no longer a starting XI player. 

[Diceflix 207]

Really... really poor performance from him today, losing possession at any time and can't even dribbles and pass right

[Alabama 1,992]

So poor.... Messed some lovely attacking moments either by his gibberish dribbling or dwelling too much on the ball....

He has no final third brain. Lovely technique, great close control, just no vision. Shame. 

It's why he needs to play further back. I wish he would have been tried as a CM or even a wingback years ago.

Surly he was brain dead on the other day. I could have fly down to Stoke from India, sneaked in to the pitch pretending as Chelsea player and ask for the ball but still he would be holding the ball thinking what to do with it!

[lucio 5,418]

any particular reason he keeps dribbling towards our goal? and then loses the ball

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

It's really a shame. An extremely talented player(and that's not an exaggeration by any means) let down by his brain in the final third.

This is not as big of a problem against bigger teams since he's much better than Pedro in transition, but against mid-bottom table sides Pedro should be starting.

Personally, I think it's just as much as of a problem in big games, especially when you consider that Conte likes to play on the counter against the big teams. Good counterattacking opportunities are rare against big teams so every single one needs to be executed to perfection, something Willian doesn't do well IMO. His understanding of picking the right pass in transition is really poor so his dribbling is the only weapon left which (when he's not in good form) can be just as shit as his decision-making as we've seen in the past few games.

The wingback option was just romanticism i think. Conte has never even named him as a possibility in that position and has tried every winger and fullback at the club bar him and Hazard at wingback since his arrival. There is clearly a very, very good reason he's never played at wingback.

If he keeps repeating performances like that, I'm more then happy that we sell him to Manu 

[Fernando 6,378]

Well we keep saying it, not good for starter but great for depth. 

[Amblève. 4,995]

I can't watch Willian anymore. I just can't.

Everytime he has to play a pass it seems like his brain is trying to understand quantum physics.

[Jase 43,479]

So bang out of form right now. Giving Torres' legacy a run for his money.

[Miki-Liki 405]

That was shocking even for his standards. What an useless donkey.  What's even more frustrating, even if the club does manage to offload him, his replacement is going to be no better.

[Abreu03 292]

I hate that shit. Extremely unbearable to see Willian play.
