Willian

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

btw Willian produced an outstanding assist for brazil against some shit american team. Against a deep sitting opponent, he dribbled past two defenders in the right channel. I particularly liked how his subsequent cross was so shit it hit the post and ricocheted into the path of another brazilian to score. The poor guy willian hits aluminium so often he now even has learnt how to pass via the woodwork.

It was vs Usa...

He played very well in the first half but then Lucas came on and got 2 assists in minutes while Willian once again had no end product. Technically brilliant but zero productivity to his game whatsoever.

Shit north American team then

His levels of productivity for Brazil haven't actually been that bad since Dunga became manager: 2 goals and 5 assists (plus 3-4 'pre-assists' on top of those) in 16 games. If he was registering goals/assists at an equivalent rate for us, he'd be ending a full season with around 6 goals and 15 assists in all competitions. If only.... .

Still, it was heartening to see him looking much more assured when in possession of the ball than he has done when playing for us over the past few games. Mourinho should give Oscar a chance to nail down a place in the starting 11 against Everton, and then start Willian in midweek to allow him to an opportunity to carry some of the form he's just been showing for Brazil over to us.

Willian played really well last night...

Hulk as usually sucks and for some reason has a place on the team. With Neymar missing the first 2 games of qualifiers I can see dunga going costa-Hulk-Willian and oscar-fernandinho-gustavo behind them.

Their a young kid that plays striker for brazil, but I don't think hes ready yet.

Willian played really well as N.10 against USA....

By the way, in the video appears Fabinho (Monaco) IMO who could be an interesting option for our right-back.

He need to add more to his game. Whenever he get the ball on the right wing,i know exactly what he is going to do, he will do his little move, go right, cross and the cross will get block.

He need to learn a bit from Navas. Yes Navas. Navas has kinda similar move, but I saw him fake his cross stop and try to do left footed cross, it was a horrible cross but at least it made him a bit less predictable.

3 goals this season, all 3 lucky goals. Or is this his new trick?

they were identical as well

I would call them brilliant, rather than lucky. Okay, yes, hugely fortunate - but you hear people talk about free-kicks being that good that they "only need a touch" and it's an automatic goal. These deliveries didn't even need a touch to go in. Put into exactly the right area with whip and pace. A goalkeeper's nightmare. Both undefendable. Cracking stuff and we finally have a player who can deliver from set-pieces. We've missed that certain someone since Lampard left.

Only 2 actually. The one against Swansea was an OG.

I think it would be unfair to say he was purely lucky with those goals. Yes, there was a bit of luck involved but let's not dismiss the quality of those free kicks that led to the goals. They were hit perfectly and hit into an area where the GK isn't sure what to do and any connection with the ball would result in a goal. It's practically undefendable like Alex mentioned above. And maybe Willian has been practicing his free kicks in training and it's starting to reap its rewards.

Precisely. Despite being a goalkeeper coach, the best I can do for any young goalkeeper is, in these moments, to pray that nobody gets a touch and you can make a catch. But effectively, good free-kicks from that position are as dangerous as shots from six yards out - the goalkeeper can't commit as even the slightest touch off of anyone can deviate the path of the ball and result in a goal. Essentially, a GK can't react until the ball is either a; in the six-yard box, or b; has been touched by a player and directed on target. In either case, because of how late and fast attackers can get across the line of the ball, all you can go is pray that it doesn't go in. It's the hardest thing for a goalkeeper to face and I certainly didn't envy Tim Krul the moment it left Willian's boot. It had "goal" written all over it.

I can see his statue outside Stamford Bridge now

I changed my favorite player from Willian to Costa and he goes ahead and scores two goals in about 45 minutes of game time. [emoji23][emoji23] curse lifted.

Please change it to Blackman! Now you've suspended Costa and we need him to score goals.
