Willian

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,733]

Deserved to start today, and looked good when he came on.

Hopefully he brings that form back here.

[Muzchap 8,964]

Yup this is the reason we sacked Big Phil - he's a fucking idiot

Although the players have to shoulder 90% of the blame!

Poor Willian

[couris 232]

Came in, was totally invisible and useless.

Bernard is brazil future and should always start over him.

Bernard is brazil future and should always start over him.

If that is what the future holds for Brazil, then I'm afraid they have the same chances as Romania to win a World Cup again.

Isn't there this guy named Neymar who is supposed to be the future of Brazil? Hmm.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Gave it a go, but looked well of the pace.

Luckily for him, £48m David Luiz made him look like Ronaldinho in comparison

Not much of a future then...

Bernard, Oscar and Neymar are the going to be the 3 moving forward. I understand that this is a chelsea forum, however, you guys really need to take your blue tinted glasses off. Willian did nothing for brazil and after this world cup, there a good chance he doesnt get called up again because of his age and the amount of ams brazil has in their u23s.

Had willian never moved to chelsea, willian never would of gotten called up by scolari.

There's no chance Brazil is ever winning the world cup or dominating football with those 3 as its future core

[LAB 1,030]

Willian doing not much for Brazil has to do with Scolari's idiocy, not himself.

How often have you seen Bernard's play at club level over the past year?

[Korea 734]

IN shaktar? None.

For Brazil? every match on the national team and a few for club level.

Bernard is the only ams that runs constantly. Oscar, neymar, willian, coutinho, lucas will not give the constant runs that bernard does for the team. It's mind boggling you guys cant see the potential in Bernard and the role/fit he has with the squad moving forward. He has very good technique, is fast/quick and a passes decently well. His only setback is he's a hobbit and will be limited in terms of his defensive output.

[couris 232]

He was useless. All that technical skill for nothing.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,733]

He was useless. All that technical skill for nothing.

Next to Oscar he was easily the best Brazilian out there.

"At the same time, Willian is a better player coming from the sides. In my opinion I would go with Oscar as a No. 10 and Willian coming from the side."

- Jose

that really comforts me. At least our manager knows how to use our players.

I think Willian was decent today. But he's barely featured in this team (before and during the WC), so he was like an outsider trying to get a grasp of things. He did well, nothing exceptional, but I'm happy he was given a start.

What really matters for me though is how he'll progress in his second season for us. I have such high expectations about him...

[dee25 1,044]

I think he's got immense ability and he's also fortunate to have physical strength and pace. The limitations in his game is really down to his mentality. He just needs to assert himself and be more daring on the ball. But he has all the tools in my opinion.
