Special Juan 28,141 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I won't bother criticising his finishing as he does enough work and tracking for the team where as people like Torres are just out and out shit.!! Beigl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutro 1,026 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hazard recent performances might be a blessing for him and in a lesser way for Oscar.It might give him abit less pressure and because of that its easier to adapt.I enjoyed all 3 of them yesterday, the position changes looked so natural Styles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I won't bother criticising his finishing as he does enough work and tracking for the team where as people like Torres are just out and out shit.!!True and his job isn't to score mainly so yeah I agree. But his finishing is really horrible though, no wonder he got like 20 goals for Donest over like 100-200 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 30, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted December 30, 2013 Think I completely underestimated how important this guy might be to our team. Watching him, Oscar and Hazard break for our first goal was an absolute thing of beauty like three fighter jets flying in formation.Pace. Directness. Accuracy. The fact that he can put in a hell of a shift defending as well is incredible. Barbara, Ainsley Harriott, nadavTKL and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I see why people want him to be more objective and clinical and I think with time he'll grow to be. I feel he is far from being comfortable playing in English football and he has to impress two managers and not only one and nothing impresses both Scolari and Mourinho than hard work and low error margin.So not only he still has to adapt to the style, he has to be careful not to make stupid things and lose the ball. Mourinho seems to like him alright and I'm positive Scolari will take him to the WC because the option (Lucas Moura) is much worse and too young. Scolari likes his mature players (not to say experienced).I don't blame the guy. Nearly all players going (or with chances of going depending on managers' selection) to the WC have it in the back of their minds. They won't risk getting injuries, they'll try to prove to their managers they should be called, they try (as much as they can) to have their club managers to spare them some matches, etc...It's their dream, the one thing they don't do for the money, but for the gratification, it's very important to most players in the world.So I feel Willian still unsure, insecure and very much tamed in his presentations and while some of it comes from adapting to such a physical league, it also goes through him working in a way he knows for sure will please Mourinho and Scolari and he'll try to make as less mistakes as possible, and consequently it means he won't go for the risky pass in the final third and that he won't shoot very often because those are prone to errors. We won't see him dribble (although he can), we won't see facing off his opponents, taking them over, and we'll see rare and far between shots by him. Which is all a shame, but I understand why him (and others) are this cautious.+ there is the fact that he is fighting both Mata and Schürrle for 1 spot. Having displaced them both (in big games) after rusting at Anzhi for 6 months is pretty impressive.

Milan 17,958 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I just love how he tracks back and keeps winning balls, setting up quick counters. The same applies to Hazard and Oscar - all of them have an incredible contribution both offensively and defensively. Not to mention Oscar slide tackles that are just Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he can put in a hell of a shift defending as well is incredible.Thing with him is, he has been used rather sporadically by Jose and never really been given a good run like a couple of others. Gifted players make the difficult look easy, gifted players glide they don't run and gifted players will always shine through.I know what your saying and agree 100%. When I watched him at the bridge against us for Donetsk I was massively impressed. He dominated us along with Fernandinho, totally immense and looked like he never got out of '2nd gear, and what was more impressive wasn't just his distribution or his goal but his sheer pace, which is something that some do not realise.As of now he is playing that well he for me can't be dropped.

Jase 43,479 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Worked so hard. Love his energy and work commitment. So happy Spurs did not sign him!Pace. Directness. Accuracy. The fact that he can put in a hell of a shift defending as well is incredible.Indeed though a little bit more output in terms of goals or at least assists would be nice. laura90, The only place to be, Mufassir08 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Bluesmaster he would of got an assist if we had a decent striker... He skinned a player down the left and wanted to pass it and no striker was in position. Hes a brilliant player ! laura90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoro 151 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I think Jose has finally chosen the 3 attacking players. Hazard, Oscar and Willian. They work really well together. Mata might be better technically then Willian but Willians work rate and pace make him the better choice.

Hamilton 2,120 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Attacking wise i probably expected more, but i like the link up atm, but i never expected he's such a hard worker! Great team player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Attacking wise i probably expected more, but i like the link up atm, but i never expected he's such a hard worker! Great team player.I think if he can contribute the way he did on Sunday then I don't care if he doesn't get the stats. Don't forget he played a part in the Hazard goal with a slick pass in the build-up and set up the Lampard shot which was saved by Mignolet. That was as complete a performance as you're going to see from an offensive player, it was that good. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
