Amblève. 4,995 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Would like to see him work on his final ball and consistency in finishing... Apart from that he has shown he has the tools to be a very important member of the team.Isn't that what we critisized Moses for at the end of last season?

Drogzola 283 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 When I watch him play Stoned then I really see what this guy is all about, his dribbling is amazing and his work rate is awesome. He seems to be lost once he gets past the player because the runs in front of him aren't there. I can only see him getting better and better. iseah100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 First touch, passing, shooting, decision making and intelligence (if that counts as an aspect of talent)The wording was "far". Willian doesn't excel in any of these aspects far better than Moses, especially his decision making and intelligence are as bad/good as Moses's.

Maybe they have about the same pace - Will may have more even - but everything else, yes, he's far better than Moses, not because Willian is that great, but simply because Moses is that bad.

zolayes 14,489 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Willian is by far our fastest in instigating a counter from defence ,,,only Ramires is even close in that respect . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Tomo 21,751 Posted May 9, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted May 9, 2014 Using his goal/assist record for me is far to easy a way to look at thing's and overlooks what he actually brings to the table.Now im not saying he will reach that level but Bergkamp is imo the most naturally gifted player in PL history, yet look at his stats and you will see a striker who during his time in England netted once every 3 and a half games. The balance Willian offers is amazing, it seems a cool trait these days to mock wingers doing the dirty work but ask yourself this? if we give Willian offensive freedom, who the hell protects our full back next time we play Everton and 2 off Piennar, Oviedo and Baines are bombing forward at will?I see some think 'but if we wanted a work horse winger we could have got one for 5m' possibly but i bet that player would have serious technical limit, wouldn't be able to bring the ball out and keep it under pressure like Willian does naturally, and this said player would probably get dispossessed in dodgy positions, which seldom happens to Willian.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Willian's decision-making is decidedly sub-par however that is something he will improve upon with time and experience. For a new signing in a new league, I think he's done okay. A 7/10 for his debut season for me. bethos1 and Blue Armour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyikolajevics 2,829 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Nice goal tonight, curious if he becomes a starter come WC.I don't think so.. It looks like Scolari doesn't really want to change the Confederation Cup winner team. Fred, Oscar, Hulk and Neymar will be the starting attackers unless anyone get injured.

yuvala 2,167 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Why? Hulk isn't even that good tbh. Willian is better and deserves to start.1. Personally I cant say that Willian is better for sure.2. Scolari likes to stay true to the players that he chooses, he'll probably use the same starting XI from the Confederation Cup. Henrique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Hulk worked well in the confed cup and has been around for a while... therefore chances of Willian displacing him are minimal as Willian is quite new in the group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Hulk was one of best (if not best) players in Russia (I know...) but also very good in CL run.I dont think Hulk or Willian is better but Hulk sure has better finishing.

Good, nothing outstanding or even very good.He's limited, something Willian isn't imo. His finishing is on and off, depends on the day. iseah100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
