Willian

[Gilvorak 3,734]

The difference in class between Pedro today & what we've been seeing from Willian these past two years is staggering. He's completely destroyed the arguments Willian fans used in favour of him in just one half.

I still doubt we will have Pedro, Hazard and Oscar in the big games.

Expect to have Ramires or William in there.

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

I simply cant understand how an attacking player can be so shit a scoring. Seriously can think of a worse finisher.

Nees to work on his finishing but I would like to see him get a regular role in no.10 over Oscar tbh. Bar the goals, he gets involved much more involved in our play and does much more on the field. Just add the goals like MrBlueguy said and we will be talking about a quality AM.

Like I've been saying recently, Willian becomes totally clueless when he gets to the final third, despite all the good work he does for the team. Ridiculous how he didn't finish that first half chance created by Pedro.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Gotta score there. He has it all going for him to claim that #10 spot. Way more consistent and has a great all around game. But if you can't score those easy changes playing in such a position, wtf are you doing.

That said, great pass out to Pedro for Costa's goal.

Can't we do the same sunderland did with Dembele?

Converting a shit (i mean unprolific) AM to a good CM ?

Oscar will send him to the bench easily. Till January at least.

Pre-December Oscar is several levels above. The only skill Willian beats him at is his ball carrying ability but even that's pretty redundant with the 2nd best in the World playing on the left & Pedro proving he's more than adequate for that role out on the opposite flank.

What happened to the player who was absolutely terrific in CL against us and Juventus?

The sooner he is out of our starting 11 the better.

His finishing is so awful. Scuffs every shot he takes. What..

[Stats 7,056]

Funny thing is if he scores that, people are suddenly saying he had a great game and should be in the team. His actual performance was good. A shame that the miss has made everyone forget about the way he set that counter attack up for Costa's goal. Fantastic running and picked out Pedro with a fantastic pass who set up Costa for the goal. That was a counter attack at it's best. He bad a bad miss, like I said, not a bad game. I hope he starts against Palace and I reckon Mourinho will go with the same trio again. No reason, not too. First signs of the trio were very promising. Let's see how they fare up against Palace.

Willian is way better than Oacar, not even a question. The goals are coming. He was one of the most important players today smh.

You mean Fulham right?

Yeah we should try that indeed.

But overall, I havent seen such poor finishing in a top team for a while. Mou has to do something about it, its either his tactics or the pressure or whatever.

Maybe the players are simply shit, but Willian is dreadful (he never was great finisher tho), Hazard is shit 1on1 with GKs too (he was alot cooler in front of goal for lille), Oscar is actualy very decent in that aspect, hell even Costa lost some of his calmness infront of goal compared to atletico and early chelsea days.

The attitudes you're referring to are so typical of this site. Ever error is put under the microscope and over analysed. I personally thought he looked much better suited to the number 10 role he filled today and thought he contributed well. Terrible goal attempt notwithstanding.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Played as a #10 today with hardly any defensive duties so no flimsy excuses of blaming his ineffectiveness on Ivanovic can be used today.

Pedro on the other hand played on the same flank & produced a World Class performance (was his debut better than any game Willian has ever had for us) despite putting in more work defensively than any of our other attackers. Notice, Ivanovic wasn't bombing up & down the flank like a maniac because we had a proper winger on that side?

The only forward in all my years of watching Chelsea that's lauded more for his defensive duties than the actual quality he has. You're insane if you think Oscar won't bench him.

How can you say Willian is better if you haven't seen Oscar play with Pedro yet?

Because what makes a player is how well he plays with Pedro. Right.
