Willian

Is it just me or is there actually a goat behind the scene?

wrong sport then? Or is it just a Ramires-ity where he only scores goals if they're very difficult - only on his case a basket instead of goal?

"It is true that with the arrival of Cuadrado, the competition for a place in the squad increases. But I will always fight for my place."

"As I've said before, I can never feel comfortable otherwise another player comes and takes my position. I always want to improve and that is why I always try to work hard to keep my place in the squad."

Let's hope he at least creates more chances than ivanovic. Nice to know he won't lie down, cuadrado should earn his place.

Willian has become so predictable this day. Even the referee can take the ball from him"

Magnificent performance. Could have scored, but he got an assist and never stopped running. Awesome!

Good game from him

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Man on a mission.

I couldn't help but notice that he moved more central when he started beating his marker and taking dangerous shots. Maybe he's showing Jose his skills from the middle??

That's one way to motivate.

Willian has been a bit shackled playing on the right. He doesn't really have the option of coming inside on his stronger foot and facing the play; moving inside gives him the space and the option of going either way which makes him different threat.

good game!!

Am I the only one seeing improvement from him going forward? in the last couple of games atleast.

I'm sure it might even improve his dribbling if he plays from the center. He can go either way instead of only to his right and he's strong enough to hold his ball under pressure compared to Oscar who passes it to no body everytime

Agreed. And tot think so many people made so many excuses about Schurrle being played out of position on the right etc but don't do the same for Willian.

He should be in the middle if Cuadrado takes a starting spot in the future.

Hopefully this carries on and we see the Drogba/Shevchenko affect, Drogba really started to push on and add end product to his play in his third season because of the added competition. Willian strikes me as a fighter just like Drogba and I think he has a good chance in pulling it off.... He never had real competition because Andy was always a impact player that we wanted to utilize off the bench.

Either way?! He never goes left ever ever ever! Stepovers then on his right always. He's started/switched to the middle enough to know he doesn't want the other option. His assist may be one of, if not the only forward pass into the box by Willian in a Chelsea shirt If Cuadrado coming means he begins to produce than watch out Oscar.

Great reaction today. He's been very good lately.
