Lol no Barkley this time eh?

How many Goals and assists does anybody else out there have?

Willian has actually been decent. Great dribbles Fantastic workrate Linking up well with tammy Trying to shoot

CHO shouldnt go 90 min yet. He's our super sub. Pulisic shouldnt be playing over pedro or Willian.

Jorginho is horrific.

Midfield is being overrun.

He certainly wasnt loved. Especially around the time Costa was thanked for the "seasono", and the most gutless coaching display ever seen when we didnt even try to do anything against Manchester City. Vast majority on here at least were happy to see the back of him

Of course reputation matters. Why do you think Lampard is manager of this club right now? It(being condemnation) is not applied across the board though. One look at Kepa's topic and then Willians shows that. Conte was hated by damn near everybody on here, and was two managers ago, and that is still the sum of his character by some on here. That is an unfair standard.

No, but he gets more of a pass than the guy nobody even knows by rational actors. Kepa going for personal glory last season almost certainly cost us a trophy, and he gets nowhere near the same vitriol Willian gets. He's damn near the definition of club cancer but if you look on here you think it was Willian that was the biggest issue in the dressing room.

Willian had been here long enough for a connection to have been formed on my part. When Kepa pulled that shit on Sarri he was still a new boy, theoretically. If he had his way we probably would have scored that penalty too, but thats neither here nor there. Jorginho was confused as well, and that comes down to the manager not being clear on roles with the players beforehand.

Conte was absolutely HATED by 90% of the forum. People are trying to use an attack on him to cover up their irrational hatred of a player who has been a humble servant to this club.

The fact that this moist, semi-incoherent, post had not 1 or 2, but 4 people liking it just shows the Willian opinion on here is not logical at all. Its emotional based on some perceived slight against a manager who won a trophy for us. Yet the same emotional response will never be made against the keeper who outright refused managers orders in front of the world and probably cost us a trophy that night. This is becoming embarrassing.

How many top clubs would make Pulisic their first choice starter? We have to be honest here.

Willian is better than him right now.

No Im pretty serious. He's not at a level wheres hes ready for us. His price tag was based on potential. The same people begging to see him on here will slag him off as soon as he proves why he isnt playing right now. Hell, I remember Kalou getting the treatment on here when he was, at that point, at a higher level skill wise than Pulisic is right now. He'd be set up for failure if he was forced out there right now, and that would be bad for all parties involved.

He's not good enough yet. If we didnt have the transfer ban, in a perfect world, he would have been loaned out to a premier league side to learn how to place in this league.

Theres a reason for that too. He isnt good enough to play for us consistently yet. I knew he would be relegated to this role when we bought him. I dont know why some people thought he would be the replacement for Hazard.

Horrible defending.

VAR is ruining football.

He's your compatriot brother.

The Brazilian Willian hate is sickening. It isnt his fault you lot havent won a cup in 18 years.

You dont really wanna see Pulisic in a match like this....

Willian knew that decision fucked us.

He's much better than Pulisic, and I say this as someone who loves Pulisic.

People dont wanna hear this, but Willians hard work in the middle and on the wings have been fantastic this half. Great decision starting him by frank.
