🇧🇷 Willian

[didierforever 7,349]

Stop looking like a hater atleast really now.

U say hater, I say realist

[BlueLion. 21,491]

It isn't even questionable - for me our midfield should be this:

Fabregas - Matic

Ramires - Willian - Hazard

Fabregas and Ramires can interchange if necessary; Ramires offers more defensive cover which allows Ivanovic to get forward more, and Willian gets to play in the position where he is most effective.

I want to play mikel and let matic surge forward, which is a big threat, and it will make it easier to recover his best form

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

All of you guys forgot, there is actually one good thing happened because of Cuadrado. Willian turning to beast mode since Cuadrado rumour started until today.

[Blue Armour 4,443]

Should be our no 10 from now on.

Well its been obvious for a while now, but it raises the question: Who's going to play on our right wing? I don't that's the job for super Ramires.

[Parky 739]

Still needs to improve with being more decisive. direct and hitting early crosses. Needs to back himself more by making more dribbles and shots at goal.

He has the talent but needs the mind to adjust his game to be a elite player.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Fucking love this guy. Never seen such a hard worker and he's finally getting some praise now that he's playing as a no 10.

[iseah100 5,612]

Oscar plays good?? When? How? Its a miracle!!!

Oh wait.. april fool's day was 3 days ago dude. U can't dothat to me today on the 4th. No fair.

Trying too hard. Staaahp.

[Jase 43,479]

Yesterday was Willian with his best workmanlike performance.

[DYC. 7,542]

The little engine that could. He defines industry. I will always appreciate that about his game. Cuadrado was supposed to be the superior player... people often don't realise what they have.

Combined energy with tidy play, playing a crucial role in both goals. Very solid game. It's a shame Cuadrado didn't do anything with that sliced pass.

[LAB 1,030]

Among other things he does that i appreciate, he also responds well under pressure. Always works harder when we are in difficult situations. I honestly can't remember a time when we saw Willian exhausted. Scary limits.

Keep it up Willi

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

The game against Stoke proved if we play him in the #10 role and press high up the pitch, he will play to his best ability. Him starting there shouldn't even be a question anymore.

In the middle Willian is almost world class. He will be world class there. But on the wing he is wasted, when Cuadrado adapts he will have better aptitude on the wing and Hazard-Willian-Cuadrado will be the starting AM 3.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

I agree Willian is by far the better player when he plays the n10 role, his qualities fits a CAM a lot more than a right winger. so next season is a real question for me because while I do want to see Willian in the middle, I think the team would be stronger with Koke/Pogba in the middle while we still have Willian in the line up, and the right wing is the only spot left.

I think that's what will happen, seeing how Jose doesn't start Willian in the 10# even this season when Oscar offers nothing. I assume Jose thinks Willian's work rate and the way he contributes to our possession with his tidy play is enough, he doesn't really want more from him.

And while it doesent give Willian the option to show how good he can be, i think that even when he starts on the right Wiliian is a player we should not drop quickly.

[Tomo 21,751]

His lack of end product may be irritating but the balance and stability he offers this side is incredible. How many times does he break up build up play, as in miscontrols a simple pass or males a awful miscontrol, like what Rami and Oscar get slated for?

Never fails to amaze me how many underrate or even undermine this guy's contributions, people use to criticise and wonder why Fergie played "average dross" like Park and Fletcher. We have more urgent needs in our team right now than finding a replacement for Willy.

If we hold on and lift the title next month, he's well and truly earned his medal just as much as anyone else in the squad.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I usualy dislike him, but tbh I think its pretty much down to how we play and how Mou instructs him. If there was no Hazard for some reason in our team, Willian would have much bigger impact in attack with bit more free role. He would rack up stats, but sure he would influence the attack more, even more from left or middle.

He already has very limited role in team, but he also has to do half of Iva work.

Probably I like Willian alot more after seeing how Cuadrado is playing too.

I personally think we will be a much better team with someone like Sterling/Bale rather then Koke or Pogba. There is always so much space to be exploited on the right side. It is always congested on the left and the middle. Willian, Oscar, Hazard, and Cesc all like to play through the middle. For me it is perferable to see Willian and Oscar fight it out for the CAM position.

Mou has never been about dominating midfield, for him it is more about bypassing it.

The right wing has become the new pivot

Its a valid and a reasonable opinion. But i just think adding a CAM like the two i mentioned would be a safer bet than adding a RW. i really dont want us to change our line up in the big games, like Jose do with Ramires, it has to stop and Pogba/Koke would give Jose enough stability while giving us more flair. I think Jose want to dominate midfield better than we do right now, maybe he doesnt want us to do it against Bayern and Barcelona, but i think he's worried about the way we cant keep the ball sometimes, especially against the better teams or when we're under ball pressure. Thats why imo he plays with Ramires and turns us into a "parking the bus" team, cause he cant trust the players to dominate the game. We lack that another "flair" player instead of Oscar.

I think you're being a bit too quick to judge. Cuadrado will need at least a half of a season in Jose's system before he can even challenge for a spot. He did the same thing with Schurrle and willian, you need to gain his trust before you feature.

Having said that I've always liked Willian and though he worked hard for the team. He needs to dwell on the ball less and be more decisive in the final third. Pretty sure everyone will agree with that.
