I was wondering if i'm the only one who is not really impressed by Willian this season.

Besides his free kick goals he is still the same non threatening player he was last season who has been transformed by mourinho into an AM who spends more time sprinting towards his own goal when he is not in possession than sprinting towards the oppenents goal.

I just don't see a future with him, Hazard, Oscar, Pedro as our AM's. They are all too similar, too much focussed on setting up goals which results into them not finding anyone whose actually looking to score a goals since Costa as a sole striker is too easily neutralized by two centre backs only having to worry about him.

Disagree. The only two similar players who are good enough to start for us are Willian and Hazard. Oscar should be gone because he doesn't provide a set up for goals in the final third too often. Pedro is very different to all of these guys though - he's all about the movement in his game, and is actually a very decent finisher - but we haven't seen the best of him yet because we don't utilise Pedro in the right way.

Where is the love for Willian's assist? That's what you call world-class. The weight and curve on that pass, phenomenal. It zipped past two players because you can't defend that.

There was a time when he wouldn't even attempt such a pass, let alone execute it flawlessly. One of the assists of the season for me.

He still pisses me off with his layoffs to the right. When he hesitate over the ball you hope that he finally do something different, dribble to the left and try shoot, but he always chooses layoff to the right as long as someone is overlapping.

Guy has extraordinary ball control and acceleration but he always chooses the easiest, unimaginative option. And that assist is something much more extraordinary than we think from Willian as a) it's great assist b ) it was finally some invention from him

Remember when people said we should sell him and get an upgrade on our right wing? Ha.

The crazy thing is there are still people on here who think he is average and he is not doing anything different. He is one of the best players in the league. He has never been a stat god but he has so much qualities. If people actually think we need to upgrade him, then boy they are seriously crazy.
