Share Posted July 27, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33675031Its not a misquote.Don't worry, Gilvorak has a history of making sure our players are as negatively perceived as possible. Hasn't said much positive since I joined. iseah100, TheIceMan, nadavTKL and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Very excited to see him this season and beyond! The evolution he has made since Christmas has been fantastic. IMO he is perfect in 4-3-3 as the third midfielder as are Oscar, Cesc and Ramires for that matter. So I am amazed we don't seem to be willing to play that formation more often.If Oscar can make the next step in his evolution as we are all hoping, I can really see why Jose has decided not to sign new midfielders this season. The bigger question is that if Oscar and Willian are in top form before a big game, does Jose have the balls to drop Cesc to the bench instead of playing Obi Wan?

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Wow, not one mention of Willian today?Exactly what I said about him in the Moses thread. He has made a HUGE step in his evolution towards becoming a world-class player and that is taking responsibility when the team is playing shite. He was the only player who could be arsed to do something. I'm in love. LondonsFinest, iseah100, xPetrCechx and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 the much maligned (GC and) Willian were our best outfield players today by a country mile. But Willian is somehow not best as a classical winger. He strives at carrying the ball forward with his mazy dribbling. In the final third he is average. So maybe we should pair him with a more conventional winger like Kenedy or Moses and leave out either Fabregas or Oscar as they are obviously not athletic enough to be played both - in a big match at least.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 He's a square peg in a round hole on the right, has too much time to think, but as the 10 he's so much better. A none thinking Willian is better than one that needs to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 He had a great 1st half compared to our players, he was pretty good in 2nd also, but I really hate when he's on the right wing, has the ball at his feet, and just dances around it for 15secs while the opposition defender just looks Our MOTM for me (tough one with Courtois). kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Made some great runs (all through the middle) and has looked to carry his form from the end of last season. So excited for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeholiday 209 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Very good first half. "Freak Friday" stuff with Hazard tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Another one of our players that would be perferct in a 3 man midfield. He made so many runs FROM DEEP to push our team forward, reminded me of what essien used to do for us. Playing in a 4-3-3 would be perfect for our team.

stroey 2,525 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 He played very well yesterday and continued his form of the 2nd part of last season. But I think Willian has it in him to reach the next level in his game: to carry the team and be decisive. He has a lot of confidence currently, you can see it back in his dribbles and long passes. He should now take more responsibility to be more aggressive in the final third of the field, for example dribbling into the box like Hazard and shoot more. He also has a good long shot, most of his goals are great long distance goals (Stoke, Norwich, Soton, Everton, Watford?) He should do it more often, we need another player who can carry the team and I think Willian can be the person this season. kellzfresh, supporter, zolayes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the ability, if he can match it with that desire and intent to make things happen, he'll be fantastic for us this season. stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the moment Gibbs scored the goal going inside Azpi I muttered to myself that's what Willian needs to start doing instead of his usual tricks of stand still, feint, pass or stand still, feint, dribble, cross. He knows he has to shoot more, I remember him saying last season that Mourinho wanted him to not finish a game without at least 3 shots.

He just isn't a RW tbh. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
