Some really childish remarks in there, but two can play this game. You often state that statistics aren't everything (mostly when defending your favorite players) but you still cling on these stats to criticize certain players. You also say it was Oscar that led too Mata's departure, but it's very apparent that wasn't the primary reason. Schürrle, KDB, and Mata are arguably all more of an attacking threat than both Oscar and Willian. Mourinho obviously knows this but still allowed KDB and Mata to leave. Schürrle rarely even gets a game in. Even now that he is seemingely fit, he refuses to rotate him in against a weak team. Oscar was partly responsible for the Juan Mata departure, but it's funny that Mourinho rarely played him last year against the big teams. Opting for Ramires and Willian in almost every big game encounter (with massive succes). The 2 players you probably hate the most. Where they a consistent attacking threat then and now?? The answer is no, but they offer that extra cover and balance Mourinho teams need. Heck, Mourinho didn't even start Oscar against a team like Stoke. Hence they are a physical side. But alot of big teams are, i wouldn't be at all surprised he drops Oscar again when we play the big boy's in the Champions League. Willian clearly lacks in the final third, but he offers alot more in the build-up than a player like André Schürrle ever could. Schürrle was a shiny club buy. The deal was as good as done even before Mourinho came back. Mourinho didn't like his options when we had KDB, Mata and Schürrle and opted for a last minute buy in Willian. A player that became a regular without multiple assist/goals to boast with. Displacing said players and your precious Oscar in big games. The team play's better with Willian in the team, that is a fact. People in the team like him, he frees up Ivanovic to bomb forward, can interchange to any position during the match. Resulting in defenders not knowing who they have to cover, is very fluid in the 1 touch play. And most of all keeps defensive focus for 90 mins+ and the ability to break up play without tiring. Willian isn't the second coming of jesus obviously and we can surely upgrade from him (like a certain fella called Marco Reus). But a player like him will always have place in a Mourinho team, whatever the role. Willian is probably even going to be here for another couple of years (improved contract talks are ongoing right now). I just hope you will change your broken record of saying he's 0 intelligence player who offers nothing to the team every few pages ( we get it by now). You clearly don't now as much off football as you think you know.
