🇧🇷 Willian

[The Chels 2,502]

both Hazard and Drogba missed chances as well

Well we all know Drogba is past it and Hazard had a good game. Willian and Oscar offered absolutely nothing going forwards.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

By his standards this was a decent match IMO.

Not worth 32 million, but we already know that.

[Amblève. 4,995]

That 1-on-1 vs Smalling sums him up perfectly. Was pressing forward, got the ball and then fucked it up completely.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

All he has is speed. He can't beat a player with skill. No end product.

He's the weak link in the squad for me.

[Term-X 7,891]

Sterling is better than him at 19.

Can't beat Smalling....

All our right wingers are weak links. They rarely beat their marker, even if it's the almighty Chris Smalling

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

He's technically very good and a hardworker for the team but his end product and contribution to our attack is unacceptable. He hasn't shown any signs whatsoever of improvement in this regard.

His one skill is to stop the ball, do a fancy step-over then push the ball forward and run to it, trying to beat his marker for pace. That's not good enough for a starting XI player. We need an upgrade in the summer to both he and Andre.

[Shakez 755]

Dissappointing performance. Lacks killer instinct, he will rarely if ever carry the team. We are missing a natural goalscorer in our AM. The fact that our midfield never has much time on the ball against good teams doesn't help either.

[Styles 9,790]

He would have been much better playing in the centre today and if Ramires was fit I'm sure that's where he would have played. But no Ramires meant Willian was needed on the right to help defend.

In the big games Willian > Oscar in the middle.

[Styles 9,790]

The pass to Hazard that Oscar got wrong is easy stuff for Willian.

Willian struggles to play through balls but guiding the ball into a teammates pass is easy stuff for him, just a shame it was Oscar and not Willian on the ball in that moment today. I still can't quite believe how badly Oscar messed up that pass.

[EMK 7]

Does the minimum which is defend and help and help in attack. With he regular below par perfomances.I'll judge him and say he isn't Chelsea quality. His end product is so bad that I rate Marcello a better offensive player than he is even Dani Alves. Really we can't expect Hazard to perform every game, We need other players to also put in a shift which Willian and Oscar aren't doing on a regular basis!

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Shouldn't be a starter in a year or so.

Great defensive right winger, really does help out. Is trying to improve, he took more shots today with one that was close, but this type of game should be made for him.

One of the biggest pitches in the league with a sub par defence. Literally give him the perfect platform.

[iseah100 5,612]

Can't beat Smalling

[DH1988 1,348]

Must have been watching another game, Willian was brilliant, bad touch for the Smalling 1v1 but your telling me that nobody else had a bad touch that game? We didn't have that final touch/pass in the final 3rd in the first half but nobody mentions those because there are so many..

Willian played fine, got off a few shots which I think he needs to do, brilliant pressing too, prefer him to play in the middle instead of Oscar for big games, speeds our play up much more.

[beyondinvisible 47]

He needs a lot of work on his attacking skills if he wants to remain in this team. Defensively solid but needs to improve more if he wants to remain a starter.

[Styles 9,790]

Willian > Oscar

Let him play CAM and see how he performs; he's a better CAM than he is RW in my opinion.

Willian would have given Blind and Fellaini way more problems than Oscar did yesterday.

pretty much spot on mate, Willian has a good touch (Forget Smalling, Hazard lost the ball for a throw in 3 times, not mentioned! not a dig btw just a point) and especially when he's being closed down he has unrivaled pace/touch/burst over 2-3 yards, what I mean is he frequently uses that to burst past the first person or someone going for a 50/50 which I think, considering I thought Blind was their weak spot yesterday not Felliani, could of been more exposed if he was playing CAM.

[DH1988 1,348]

Lets not push that too far in terms of if he doesn't improve he will be dropped, not at all, the interview he done where he said Jose told him to shoot 3 times etc. is just testament to the fact he knows what he has to do, same as Hazard last season.

Each season Hazard has improved, Willian has improved since he come here, this season my expectations are not high if I'm honest, where we are at the moment is just a massive positive I was more looking to next season to absolutely dominate.

If he wants Willian to shoot more he needs to put him in a position to do so. Willian is restricted by playing on the right, he doesn't have the option of cutting inside on his stronger foot like most wingers do nowadays.
