Since then Willian played 70 PL games in two title-winning seasons (under two different managers) and was our best player in shambolic 2015/16, but a couple of bad months and he's a fucking shit. Yeah, alright.

P.S. KDB is great player, yes, and he's better than Willian now.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What are you laughing at? I just stated the facts. Willian played 70 games in two title-wining campaigns and was recognized as a Player of the Year by fans and players in 2015/16.

Worst period in his CFC career. 

[Reddish-Blue 2,223]

If a big offer were to come in (like Oscar), the club should consider selling him. 

He's done his best for the club, he tries hard most of the time, maybe he just needs a change in scenery (less-intense league) to reinvigorate himself.

Only a 15-minute cameo (or whatever it was) but fair play. Made a difference when he came on and caused Watford problems in the final third.

Yep. Looked good today.

First good game in this season. but Pedro did better, Willian should starts vs Everton, in league Pedro must starts.

Not Willians biggest fan by a long stretch but make a difference when he came on.. Needs to keep picking up goals/assists for him to be a starter in my eyes

He was so direct when he came on against Watford.  Didn't stop the ball and play with it for 30 seconds while everyone just stands around, like usual.  Got the ball, looked to play in a cross or pass to a team mate.  Would love to see that more often.

When he plays like that he is one of the best wingers out there. Unfortunately he doesn't want to/isn't able to (???) anymore.

Exactly. He didnt mess about by holding unto the ball for long without achieving anything with it. He tried to make something happen and also finally he crossed a ball in the air instead of that stupid low cross to the near post he does everytime even if he doesnt get any assist out of it.

Hopefully he improves for our sake.. We need every bit of our attacking power with our defending in shambles of late.

Up until his mum died I genuinely believed if you were to drop Willian off in the Barcelona team, he'd be amongst their top 4 players. Ronaldinho-like. It's amazing to consider that we see every game that he makes the same moves, with the same failures, and relatively same successes. 

Maybe Barcelona and the likes of Messi would've taught him an entirely different side to his game. He was certainly incredible before he joined us, he really was. 
This is a player who had twice the potential he now has. Not a tragedy, but he could've been really fun to watch, as you'd expect from a Brazilian with his strengths.

Thats exactly what he needs to do. Best thing is that he has the potential to play the direct game but the worst thing is that he goes back to the same slow painful momentum destroying game after showing a spark of this direct play.

Man came on and couldn't complete simple 5yd passes. And his first touch has been atrocious this ENTIRE season. 

Beyond trash.

Willian, Cesc and Cahill are past it. They must be sold in the summer.

To be past it you would have had to be in it from the start.

 

The stopovers nobody buys, and a few free kick goals during a terrible season does not make a good player.

[Special Juan 27,101]

Commentators still use phrases like "here comes Willian, he could change the game" Tells you they don't watch us enough.

I feel like they have cheat sheets.

 

Brazilian? Check

Winger? Check

Pace? Check

 

"Willian can change the game."
