🇧🇷 Willian

[JDY 1,290]

Would you rather have (a fit) Walcott who adds goals and assists but isn't much of a 'footballer' or Willian, who is a 'footballer' but doesn't add much when it comes to goals and assists?

I'd prefer to have both depending on the situation and opposition. We've seen that they both can be very effective in different moments..

Can't believe he didn't play at the WC. Even as a striker which he is not he should have played in stead of that non-player Fred. And he is much better than Hulk of course.

Player I like, should be able to do better this season. Good competition on the wings.

The guy has four lungs ....... But i just wish he could really pick a pass...

lol, what do you mean pick a pass? He's one of the best passers we have. He fails with the end product, but he holds the ball greatly and he rarely is dispossessed, either passing or holding it.

******************************************************************************************************

I criticized him in the match thread, I criticized his shallow thinking earlier this week, but the amount of knee-jerk reactions, childish stuff that not even my four-year old students show on class when they're jealous of each other (and just to be clear, this comment has nothing to do with you, Tom) are laughable. All of sudden he's a terrible player - most of that over 45 minutes in his first pre-season game, after training less than a week. Instead of provocative, annoying and smart it looks just childish - really, really childish. The comparisons made here are also very much laughable.

Looks like he's the new scapegoat.

Think it's more a case of people looking at performances and identifying problem areas.

But if he is the scapegoat, why has he been chosen over someone like Matic or Hazard?

People like to use the word scapegoat as if players are unfairly targetted. It was used for Kalou (who was sold) and Mikel (who has been replaced). Why is it never used for our top players?

Football is a game of Efficiency and productivity. Players like Thomas Muller win you titles while players like Willian win you spoons and sum total of fuck all.

It doesn't look like anyone even touched him.

[Namika 922]

Scapegoat ? Oscar had a great game so we look for someone else to criticize.

[Henrique 9,133]

Last time I checked William played 45 fucking minutes in a stupid friendly match of 45 minutes, in pre-season.

lol

Some people here should wait until the beginning of the real thing before starting to bash players they never liked because of many reasons.

I've been in this forum since 2010, and to be honest I've never seen anything THAT embarrassing. This place reached a new low, unfortunately.

Some people here NEED to criticize, it's in their nature.

If you actually read the posts you'd notice most of the criticism is based either on his performances for us last season or even the type of output he has had over the course of his career and what type of player he actually is.

But yeah, hysterical rant away. You'll get a couple of likes for it.

You really know one thing or two about writing posts to get "likes", don't you?

For people who say he doesn't contribute offensively, what about his perfomance against Norwich away, Crystal Palace home, Liverpool Home, Southampton Away, MU home, City Away, Stoke home, Atletico Home, PSG Home and Away,...

No one said anything about his quality and hard working performance but its always his problem has low creativity and track the ball back alot , a winger should always go forward specialy for counter attack...but he was good for 1st start in pre season however shurrle and oscare was super in their 1st start too

he can improve a lot his end product, but yeah, he isn't as bad as been made out to be last page. The comparison to Ramires and Wright-Philips were embarrassing, in all honesty.

Lol. You're so biased it's crazy.

[Stats 7,147]

The slating of him is way OTT like wow. This just came out of no where. He might of not done a lot stats wise but I think people underrate his contribution to the team. People are just looking at the transfer fee and judging that he is a flop. I was impressed with him last season despite the stats. I think we will see more goals and assists this season. To compare him to SWP is laughable. Willian has came of his first season which I thought he done well. If anyone is using his stats as a way to say he was poor, I completely disagree. In many games where we won, he was a contributing factor.

Anyway people using stats to prove their point won't change my view on him because I know what he is capable of and that he contributes a lot for the team offensively and defensively. He just needs the stats to show. Also as with people saying Willian is no upgrade on Moses, like seriously

I hope this season he adds more goals to silence some of these fickle opinions of him. As people say Mourinho is the best manager we have had and arguably the best manager in the world and I am sure he has the final word on Willian and he knows how much he rates Willian. I am sure it is more than a lot of people on here

Very. Almost as embarrassing as those who were branding Schurrle as the new Salomon Kalou - the same Schurrle who is now being extolled to such great heights. The way players go in and out of fashion on this forum is something else.

Actually nearly everyone was - even the ones being so critical of him now. Go read this very same thread at the end of the season. Many rating him lower only than Hazard among our AMs which depending on how we set up the team and given some of his performances in all big matches he took part and in other matches as well, was actually fair. I don't know why he's now one of our most incomprehensible signings. His lack of end product is frustrating, but mainly because he's way too talent to have suck little output, but tactically this man is IMMENSE. When you talk about him as a whole, overall, a lot else has to be taken into consideration and people here used to do that until a month ago. Now he's crappy, trash, same level as Ramires. He's still a very useful player that will set up the stage for others to shine, that will work his ass off for the manager and his teammates and who's tactically committed and nearly flawless. He could be a player of another league if he had better end product, but he's still a very good and useful player either way.
