termninja 5,290 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 He played really well last night. I wasn't expecting him to be that good actually in his 1st season. Great stuff, he will only get better and better MOTM of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svita 10 186 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Really impressive last night. Strong on the ball, quick as well. One thing which i didnt got it was booking and his corners :-/. And most important thing - he finally shows he is worth 32M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 His calmness and poise on the ball is really freaky,would not look out of place in a Barca team. Reddish-Blue and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Las7 951 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 He is massively overrated by our fans, fantastic work rate but very little end product. For a 30 million pound player I feel that he gets away with a lot because he works very hard, needs to improve in both his final ball and chance taking.But please, do carry on the jizz fest Vybz Kartel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Such a good player. I'm not really liking Oscar's form lately (tbf he was decent against Newcastle), Willian should get a few games in the #10 role again with Salah and Schurrle getting starts as well. Barbara and Peace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 He was so strong and fast yesterday. I think he is developing I to a great player. A team player he does well tracking back and going forward. An asset to the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah, but this cup game means more than that PL game because our hope of getting 4th place was already gone and our only realistic chance of making the CL was by actually winning it. The Arsenal game was more of a meaningless friendly than anything else. If we won vs Newcastle and Liverpool we would have got 4th, i reckon if Barca beat us we would have likely put those 2 games ahead off the FA Cup final.

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Really no difference between him and Oscar at this point, his actually playing better than Oscar so but he needs to help Hazard out when his marked tight like tuesday night, Last season Mata had 20 goals, Hazard 13, Oscar 12, Moses 11, Lampard 15 and even Torres had 22. The other creative midfielders need to step up they are simply not creating enough or scoring enough goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDY 1,290 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 To be fair, Oscar and Willian are both confined within the system. They both have to balance their creative freedom and defensive responsibilities. The same doesn't apply to Hazard. He still works for the team but is basically given full rein on what he can do going forward. It's no coincidence that Willian had his best game (in terms of effectiveness going forward) vs. Sunderland away (cup) when Hazard was on the bench. Schuerrle and KdB were facilitating for him.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The scary thing about Willian is, if he adds goals he could me nigh on the complete player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude makes so many good run to open up spaces. That's not to say he shouldn't be scoring and assisting too, but to say he's only valuable for his defensive work is misguided.

Jase 43,479 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Give this lad some games in the middle, and you will see this end product everyone is screaming forErm, Willian has been playing lots of games in the No.10 position or spending a lot of times there when he switches/rotates position with Hazard and/or Oscar.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I hate to criticize one player after a performance like yesterday's, but I find it hilarious that this thread is in absolute silence when, imo, he played worse than the players that everyone is using as scapegoats.

This is the only thread I follow so it doesn't show me when I'm directly quoted.He moves into the middle a lot but he is mostly on the right. This willian is the same guy who looked unplayable against us with shaktar, he is utilizing so much energy with his hard work on the wings so if he is giving the lone No 10 role he'll show results.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Why everything has to be black and white? Defend or attack? Why cant he do both? So what if Willian has to track? That isnt excuse for when he has the ball in attacking third but does nothing with it. Ribery, Di Maria, Hazard xyz track too and they still produce in final third. If Willian has actualy work too much in defence, its Jose problem for limiting him too much and giving him too much of defensive tasks. He is fucking attacking winger, not a DM. But Willian is always terribly positioned, always going in middle, instead of staying on wing and providing width. He doesnt create much and his finishing is terrible. There is little excuse that he plays in PL for the first time, but as soon as next season starts, and if he will be our starter, I expect him to be that 35mio creative attacking winger we spend money on. Willian and Oscar. They both need to improve in final third. Everyone tracks nowdays. Including Iniesta or Gotze or Muller or anyone else. But they also produce in final third. Excuse for Oscar or Willian that they dont produce enough because of pressing high has to end next season. Either they will make it or not.

Either they will make it or not.I think Willian has tendency to drift to center but with Ivanovic bombing forward, it kinda make sense.What we need is a better partnership between our winger and fullback. Just watched how Robben play with Rafinha/Lahm their movement is very fluid, if one goes wide one goes inside. That is one thing that we really lack at both wings.

I mentioned robben and Lah because I saw when robben was double team, lahm/rafinha tried to exploit the space either to get the ball or distract defender to give robben space whereas Hazard tends to be extremely isolated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
