Willian

Whoever put his full name is annoying.

Not as annoying as referring to a player who is world renowned as simply being known as 'Pedro' to Pedro Rodriguez.

Almost lol. It should have just been Pedro tbh. Shorter is better.

That's not what she said.

Hopefully we never see the 'just stick him in Oscar's position and he'll bag us goals and assists" argument again. He's past the age of developing an instinct for something he's never done in his life, that is being a goalscorer. But I won't complain since Pedro is here now and it makes up for Willian's output as long as Hazard also finds his stride.

Willian fanboys are reaching Torres fanboys level. The amount of excuse is unreal.

Watching Pedro was like watching Diego Costa initial games. Torres and other strikers we had made us forget what a good striker looked like until Diego Costa arrived. Same with Pedro, completely remained us what a RW is capable and should do. Fanboys wants you to believe that Willian has been poor because of Ivanovic, Pedro debunked that myth already.

Lol some are drooling over a simple pass on the counter like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Willian is fine as our 3rd AM. With Fabregas in the DP we'll never be able to play with classic roles anyway, so as long as Willian helps Matic defending for Fabregas while keeping possession when we're attacking Willian's alright. We could do better but as of right now, he's one of our least problems.

Well your a hater if you think he did not do well for Costa's goal. Had that been one of your fanboys you probably would have been drooling over it. Anyway, let's wait till the end of the season and see how much he contributes. I am sure he will prove to be a vital asset and silence some haters like you. I do believe the goals will come and even if it does not, I am confident we will get goals from all around the team. He does not score and assist much, yet remains he a key player for Mourinho? Coincidence or what?

Even with Pedro in, I still can see Willian being a vital player. I really do hope he adds goals to his game to silence haters like you. Since you used the word 'fanboys' to refer to people who appreciate him, I will refer to you as a 'hater' as you will wait to pounce him for any bad error he does. You probably will go hiding when he does play well though.

I`ve no desire to make decisions I don`t have to and wouldn`t have any bearing on where he is played by those who actually have the power to decide.but I like Willian as a player for our matchday squad we need to keep.

enjoyed watching him at the Hawthornes yesterday when he was on..our 3 behind Costa worked well together ,would have taken Cesc off when we had to rejuggle things. tho not turning on Cesc like some have chosen to do,he clearly is out of form at the moment and Willian`s legs would have been better suited to play 10 man football.with him playing deeper and charging forward when we counter attacked.

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

Don't make me laugh Willian has never been a goal scorer or assister even when playing in shit leagues what do think will change now at 27?? Oscar on form is way better than Willian in every aspect bar dribbling. Oscar is a better pressed of the ball, better striker of the ball, has better vision, and can actually score goals something very important for our number 10 to do since we only play 1 striker

His 27 now, in 10 years of football has never scored more than 8 goals in a single season. I assure you goals are not coming.

While Oscar is better with the stats, I think overall Willian is a better player. Oscar is a good player but bar Swansea in the opening game of the season, a lot of the times if things are not going well, he will not play well. He does not have any standout quality to change the game where I feel Willian can. Also I would not say Oscar is a better presser. That is debatable. They are both good but Willian's got more pace and I find it that he does a better job in retreiving the ball. He is also stronger and has great balance in making sure he keeps hold of the ball and in general offers much more than Oscar.

It is like when people will use stats to say Sanchez or Reus are better than Hazard. I disagree because I feel Hazard's overall game is better than them both. It is the same with Willian and Oscar. Take away goals and assists, Willian is a better player and just offers much more imo but if he put away the chances Oscar did I think that would make him a lot more appreciated which is fair.

I know youtube can make even Cuadrado look like Messi but this is the kind of play Willian actually contributes for us. He just is unlucky with the stats but he contributes so much in the actual game and is a key player for us. He is actually so underrated.

David Silva was never a prominent goalscorer for his club teams before last couple of seasons. Since then his goal tally has started to improve and last season got into double figures. He is now 29. Never say never. I hope Willian can add goals to his game then maybe he will get the praise he deserves.

While Willian is not known for scoring a lot of goals, the ones he does score are finishing of the highest quality.... Norwich away with his left foot. One of the goals of the seasons. Stoke at Home. Southampton away. Quality goals. In the vid I showed above you only have to look at about 2 quality strikes he took which hit the crossbar. Just unlucky sometimes. He should have more goals to his name but saying that, his technique is actually quite good.

It is awkward that only in Talkchelsea Willian has been named Willan Borges Da Silva

Willian just doesn't put fear in opposition. No danger if willian is coming with the ball. I watch how comfortable defenders look around willian compared to even someone like bolassie of crystal palace.

Willian has to learn how to take risks like Douglas Costa. Too much fear of losing the ball makes willian not to dribble past people so he's putting all his technique and speed to waste.

I feel that's why he's never scored more than 10 goals in his life. He could be a very good central midfielder though, he has all the technical qualities bar vision.

Willian does put fear into opposition. I am not sure how you gathered that conclusion. Even players that don't score like Townsend, full backs hate coming up against direct and fast players. I am a massive fan of Bolasie but you do realise Bolasie is known for the same thing Willian is doing. A lot of dribbling, going past players but poor end product...

Townsend is more of an attacking threat than Willian. He HAS to watch Pedro's performance yesterday. Costa's goal would have never come about had Willian been playing there instead.
