DYC. 7,542 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 #6Even crazier. I'm just waiting for the dry spell. Not that I want it to happen but there's no other way. 8-10 FKs in a season is very rare, 10+ is extremely rare. Maybe Oscar can score a few when it happens or something.But great stuff from Willian. Reminds me of Drogba in 09/10. Out of nothing he became a specialist for a year. Never came close to it ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! zolayes 14,489 Posted November 24, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted November 24, 2015 a week or so ago someone said he was lucky .. Watch carefully and you will see superb placement with swerve .. Zola could do it .. IT TAKES hours of practise week in and week out and suddenly you find you are lucky ..

Reminds me of Drogba in 09/10. Out of nothing he became a specialist for a year. Never came close to it ever again.His accuracy to hit the target is very high, I think none of his direct freekicks were not on target this season.Do you remember that one against Kiev away that hit the bar?Or the one that was saved by the keeper against Soton/Liverpool/West Ham? I hope he also masters to take direct freekicks from the right side like Zola.By the way, he might have broken a record today. Has any other player ever scored more than 4 direct freekicks in the UCL group stage? Barbara, Johnnyeye, DYC. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has any other player ever scored more than 4 direct freekicks in the UCL group stage?That's true. He hits them with speed as well. His technique has been flawless this year.Another Zola from free-kicks. That would be the dream. It would also add another dimension to his game.Now if he could only find the right formula for his corners. But maybe I'm getting greedy. stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I am not sure whether the 2-1 vs Swansea was credited as an own goal but if so, all his 6 goals this season came from freekicks. That highlights the disparity of his finishing and free kicks ability. But i guess u cannot get too greedy. his set piece ability + his defensive work should justify his selection.

Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Willian is on a different class right now, great season he´s having, immense work horse, wonderful player, he´s got my vote for Chelsea player of the year and if he keeps up this free kick form he will surpass Zola´s tally of 14 free kicks for Chelsea very soon, long may it continue. Good luck Willian, keep up the great work and i hope you stay with us many years and become a club legend, he definetely deserves a new and better contract, he has earned it Cheers Essien19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The spin and speed of the dip on the ball is just perfection.The fact that he is able to come up with such quality so consistently is just phenomenal. Reminds me of a period of a few months in 2012 (or was it 13?) when every FK that Del Piero touched turned to gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Anybody have a gif/video of the overhead skill he did at one point? I don't remember the minute or anything, but he basically lifted the ball over a defender to retain possession. That was class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,147 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Still not good enough for some people. It is not just the fact that he is scoring free kicks, he is generally our best player this season in open play by far. Yet, some feel we need to upgrade. It is the other star players in our team who need to upgrade and perform like Willian. He has been immense and thoroughly deserves his reported new contract.

manpe 10,861 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 How is the chances created stat put together anyway? If we are talking about real chances, then on the whole the team has created ~5 of them this season so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I am pretty sure than statistic is flawed. He must have at least 2 assists, cos he got one yesterday and another one vs villa. BlueLion. and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I am pretty sure than statistic is flawed. He must have at least 2 assists, cos he got one yesterday and another one vs villa. Plus against Swansea for the own goal and against Dynamo Kyiv for the Dragovic OG, too... those stats are horribly wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
