Can't blame you. I would be mad too, if I told the world Oscar just needed one complete summer break to become the greatest player Chelsea has ever seen. It happens man. Better luck next time. 

Did he really?

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

He's been average since Mourinho was disposed of.

The fact that he was our best player this season shows what the gulf in quality is with other clubs. The club is a complete joke, this season has been characterised by spineless decision making, and now in a bizarre show of board power they're disposing of John Terry for no good reason whatsoever. 

The supporters should have been refunded for at least 5 games this season. It's a team of wasted talent and misunderstood individuals. Don't let the next generation end the same way.

Yeah mate, he also doesn't like being called out on it, as evident by his response to Stats and his non-response to me back in January/Feb where I quoted him and all about Oscar.  

I mean, it happens, we've all been wrong on players before.

But my days, I've never seen a failure of such epic proportions like what was proclaimed by him towards the 'wonder-kid' Oscar. Oscar's put together the worst season in his entire career AFTER getting the all infamous summer vacation. It's incredible when you think about it really.

Arsenal 0-1 Chelsea. He was our best player in the pitch imo. Although Costa got the goal and caused the red card, it was Willian who burst past Monreal with ease and ran Arsenal ragged all game long.

PSG 2-1 Chelsea. He was our best player that game too

Crystal Palace 0-3 Chelsea. Him, along with Oscar and Costa were our best players that game imo.

Chelsea 5-1 Newcastle- Another excellent performance from him and there were other good performances such as Bournemouth.

Look, he has had some average games but to say he has been average since Mourinho left is harsh. He still has by far been our best player and is in double figures for goals and has made quite a few assists too. And for the record not all his goals and assists are from set peices

Amazing, really. Rather than give him credit, people would rather go down the line of "him being our best player this season show how poor we have become" etc.

Yeah, he has not been as good as Hazard was last season for instance but how about people go down the line of if other players stepped up their games, it would take the burden of him creating everything all the time. Hazard has come back with signs of the player he was last season albeit too late.

I just hope Willian takes his form into next season and Hazard proves why he is the best player in the league. Havoc!

Probably might be a Jose fanboy. I mean did not Jose say something along similar lines about Oscar having Hazard-esque development if he got a good rest. A lot of people simply like to reproduce and bandwagon the manager's words. In case he actually thought it to be true, then my condolences.

The fact he was our best player when we were hovering around regulation zone says a lot about his quality. That is his level. 

Too many deadwoods on this squad smh.

That is a ridiculous argument imo. I don't understand people who say this. Does that mean the other players around him who were poor are that level as well?

Villa were hovering around relegation last season but Benteke was clearly a cut above anyone in that squad but the argument should be that because they were near relegation zone, he is that type of level player. Ridiculous! The easy argument will be that he is struggling now but let's face it you put him right system he is a quality striker and one who most people were saying was better than Lukaku before the season started.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

So Willian will play Copa and Olympics? 

We've seen the cost of poor pre-season already. Wonder how Conte will work Willian's schedule in now, could see the Brazilian's playing time limited if someone takes his spot for their own.

Three years of watching Willian, he has always shined when we were playing our worst football during the season. Whenever we have played our best looking and convincing football he was found as one of our weak link. That tells me he is not part of the solution. With Hazard, Cesc, and Costa for example I know how good they can be when we looked like a Champions side.

Bottom line is I don't see him as a component to a successful side. Looks great on a side that scraping by. 

I am hoping for much change as possible for next season, and I really pity Conte what he has to work with. If you are very fond of Willian's quality, you are in luck because he is likely a lesser of evils in this squad.

Yeah, because your boy Oscar has really been nothing short of great right?

We all know what Oscar's standard performance is right? Ballon d'or candidate soon according to you

I agree, he doesn't deserve to be playing near the goat that is Oscar. 

Willian is 5 times the player Oscar will ever be. The latter would struggle to start in a Stoke City side while the former would have no trouble getting into the squad of pretty much any team in the world. 

Your dislike for Willian has no other cause but the fact that he continuously proves to be better than your favorite, Oscar.

He's been a class above the rest of squad. That doesn't change the fact that he isn't first team quality IMO. August to Dec was a freak period.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Lmao you know you're utter shit when you're only saving grace is being better than a player horrendously out of form. What a joke of a player.

Funny thing is as horrendous as Oscar has been this year he'll go on to have a better career than Willian. This is as good as it gets for Willian though, best player (even though he's been woeful since Mourinho's sacking and not even a Top 5 performer ever since) in a Chelsea side having their worst season in 20 years.

Maybe I was wrong about Oscar but at least I'm consistent. I've never been high on Willian from the start despite the ridiculous & borderline insane fawning over him because he runs fast & used to track back. I mean at least I didn't proclaim a marginal player like Willian was better than Hazard, Fabregas etc because he scored a couple of fluke free-kicks.
