illmatic 901 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Before the goal was already doing an awesome game. The goal, end for consecrate a tremendous performance. Amazing in defense, and in attack every day look better, and I think that playing like 10, he will be yet better. MrBlueGuy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom2013 446 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It weird tbh. Willian slowed the play quite a bit on the counters and made a few bad decisions (NOT AS MUCH AS HAZARD). Maybe oscar's expectation is significantly higher than willian. He slowed what? You need to watch the game again, or even better compare the way we played with Willian today, and the way we do it with Oscar...The place of Oscar right now is on the bench. Cuadrado is better than Oscar and Willian on the wing, and Willian is better than Oscar on the number 10 position. It was aways a question of time... like last season. lionsden and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you believe he was a bit slow on counters, at least he doesn't completely manage to destroy most counters like Oscar does. lionsden, stroey and MrBlueGuy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,348 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 First game in that position in a long while and a decent showing . The whole team seemed to slow down and run out of ideas though when Everton dropped deep but the first half was a yard away from clicking for our front four. Decent. Was watching the match round my mum's and said nigh on two minutes before hand 'we never score late goals this season' what a nice smug drive home I'll have listening to talk sport .

Popular Post! The Mak 4,459 Posted February 11, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted February 11, 2015 What I always said about Willian is that it seems almost impossible to get the ball off him and today was no exception. From memory, I think he may have made just a single wrong pass.Oscar may have more goals and assists, but Willian is never played as no. 10 as often as Oscar is; an argument that was easily thrown around during the 'Mata Vs. Oscar' debate. Well, he's played as the no. 10 tonight and got his goal.He's also shown that not only can he win the ball like Oscar, but he is miles ahead of Oscar at keeping possession of the ball - one of the big reasons why we won tonight. I really hope he keeps his place for PSG. Bosnian Blue, Henrique, kellzfresh and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm angry with him. He is capable to do this kind of performance actually, but he just showed it since Cuadrado rumour come to the surface. If only he did this since the beginning, we will easily have 10+ points gap by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYC. 7,542 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I counted only 2 bad plays from him. He fucked up 1 counter, and one badly placed pass in the final third.Let's face it, everyone was not good today. Apart from Matic. Hazard was trying too hard and taking way too many touches. Cuadrado didn't do anything for me today, but that could just be me. Remy tried but was always surrounded, also led to him moving into wide positions often. Willian did okay, I'd say he was best of the bunch. He kept his play simple and did the best he could.But the most important thing is he got the winner today so he deserves praise.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Would be kinda funny if he kicks on from here and end this season with at least 10 goals/assists. From potentially being benched/sold to undroppable if he keeps this type of performance up.Football is a funny game haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have said it since he arrived here- he was constantly played out of position by Mourinho. Now, after 1 1/2 seasons I hope Mourinho will put Willian in his natural position where he showed today what he is capable of. Superb display. nadavTKL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did you see how many counters/chances they had today and it took a deflected goal as the winning goal? What does how many counters or chances they had have to do with Willian's performance? Can you just not commend it? Why do you feel the need to undermine his great game and crucial goal? Just because he had a good game at the #10 role today, do you feel threatened for Oscar's place in the team? stroey, Styles, Bosnian Blue and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 He's really upped his game in the last matches and based on that and Oscar's form, I'd say we should start this combo more often (maybe give Eden a rest after the UCL game, we play Burnley in the league the next match, right?I've always criticized him a lot - especially with decision making and a negative football IQ, but he's been playing really well and I felt his decisions improved a lot.I don't see a lot of difference today as a #10 and the last two games he played in terms of attack output - so I don't get you people praising him for the position change as if he hasn't been doing the same in the wing the last couple of matches. I already conceded he should start ahead of Oscar right now, so this is not me trying to save Oscar's starting position, it's just that he's been playing very well currently, end of it. He did very well in the last two matches playing in the wing and now he's done the same in the central position.Cuadrado seemed to be okay - or decent - so I don't see why not start him and Willian ahead of Oscar at the moment. Not only Oscar is injured and tired, but he's been in bad form.Now I want to see if José will drop Ramires or will play Cesc as #10. One alternative would be playing Cesc #10 (not my favorite, but he's far from bad in the position) and moving Cuadrado to the bench, keeping Willian in the wing. One thing is for sure, Willian is imo our best AM currently and should be the first name in the attack lineup, just after Diego Costa. I hope he continues this evolution and keeps up with high confidence. He has a lot of talent - we have always agreed on that - and had been lacking on better decision making, creativity, decisiveness and end product. I've seen clear improvement in all areas in the last few matches. I hope this form is here to stay. I have no problem if a better play replaces another, as long as they influence the matches and lead us to win. AS my signature says stats don't make my head. I will always pick a player that helps us win matches with goals and assists over a flashy, talented, dribbler, 'chance creator' player. Football is won with goals, whoever assists them or nets them has to play. Willian is in a crescendo, we should keep him there to give him confidence. He's been shutting me up just fine. zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiclasCFC 2,582 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Nr 10? most of the time he was out wide and Hazard was playing as our nr 10, of course our AMs changes positions all the time but Willian was mostly wide left today.

The_Flash 1,144 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 For me Willian has been a definite starter the last few games he has bee awesome he has dought, ran and given 100% every game, his goal tonight made my week, I was almost crying when Matic goal got disallowed and then he popped up and banged it past the lot of them was fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no designated #10 in this game. Willian and Hazard were constantly drifting. NiclasCFC and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
