JDY 1,290 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Pundits on TV keep saying the spot is his for the take in the NT. I don't talk about NT football with my friends (actually I have very few friends that talk about football at all ), but I feel like it's a consensus that he's a few (if not several) steps ahead of Lucas Moura. He's well appreciated here, although not that much known compared to others (even Hulk). I've read a few fans excited while commentating in articles that mention him. So I guess the most part of the fans are getting to know him now because they didn't watch the leagues where he's played before, and they like what they're seeing.The fact that he's playing with Oscar every week must help his cause to, as they develop more of an understanding.

Pascal Newton 33 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Did anyone see his run for the Oscar chance? He left Man Utd players for dead in the split of a second. Bir_CFC, kellzfresh, Barbara and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,723 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Should be interesting to see if scolari puts him into the starting 11 for his team. I think at this point he is offering more then hulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Did anyone see his run for the Oscar chance? He left Man Utd players for dead in the split of a second. Yeah, that was my favourite move of the match, other than the goals of course. Threw away Phil Jones to the floor like he was nothing and just made mince meat of Rafael.

Barbara 15,149 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 He's said to ESPN Brasil that he's still finding this feet and that he was a bit lost when he first arrived. He told them that he was struggling and that it took him a little while to get where he is, that things were a bit hard for him at first. This guy will be immense for us and his quality really is unbelievable, but let's not forget the adaptation ain't easy for him. He's confessed he felt it a lot at the start and it's only now 'getting' it. It's almost like he was completely lost at first and only now he knows what he's doing, but still has a long way to actually make it.

Popular Post! The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 21, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted January 21, 2014 Funny that in all the Mata vs Oscar debate, the thread for the guy who has taken the right-wing spot off of Mata is a peaceful place. Massively underrated this guy and I love how he chases down balls back to the keeper. Sets the tone for our defensive efforts...would love a left-footed version of him. didierforever, kellzfresh, Fernando and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massively underrated this guy and I love how he chases down balls back to the keeper.

He is what I class as a ball rotator, he gets it, gives it, chases it, creates and is only missing goals. His first touch is sublime, and amongst everything he is yet to reach his full potential.Top class this lad.

Massively underrated this guy and I love how he chases down balls back to the keeper. Sets the tone for our defensive efforts...would love a left-footed version of him.Willian has earned his spot on the right wing. no one is blaming him for Mata's case.The thing most people are mad about is why Oscar who can play in many positions is in the no10 position while we have a proven player (who can only play as a no10) who scored 33 goals with 55 assists over the course of 2 years?

Barbara 15,149 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 And, unlike Oscar, he is not selfish and doesn't dive.and I'm not sure if you have sight problems. One isolated episode where he's expected the contact and therefore jumped before it happened (more like a trick to win a penalty - which makes it just as bad as a dive - but not exactly a dive) and the absurdity of calling such a team player as Oscar as selfish.Unnecessary (and inaccurate) contribution, especially coming from a Chelsea fan...Anyway, I came here to post this:http://eplindex.com/48278/willian-manchester-united.htmlAlso take a look at Eden and Oscar's numbers (especially regaining the ball in the attack) and see why Mourinho has found this three AMs. Amazing numbers by all three, especially considering Hazard and mainly Oscar didn't have that much of a great match and still have good numbers. But Willian was just immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Willian was just immense.If you pretend, because he is a Chelsea player (or maybe also Brazilian, right Barbara..) not to see the fact he often makes horrible decisions and 7/10 times he doesn't pass the ball to teammates in better position than him, then I can do nothing.To me, Mata, Hazard and Willian himself are now better than him; he sure possesses shear quality, but he has to really erase this flaw from his game.Also, Barbara, I think it's not up to you to judge accuracy of somebody's contribution and especially to question his Chelsea support.
