Willian

[The Chels 2,502]

Did his trademark 'lose the ball whilst on an aimless run and then feign an injury to the face instead of getting back to defend' in the first half against Sunderland

Nail. On. Head.

He's all workrate and nothing else. Conte either needs to make him a squad player or sell him off entirely. He's been here like for 3 years and it's probably fair to say he has barely improved.

This season he is not even workrate anymore. 

Could be because of Mom's death tho...

Such a frustrating player ffs. Really fits the old "all tools, no toolbox" narrative.

Up to this point it´s not really his season. One year ago he was by far our best player, which didn´t mean much that time, but still showed he was in decent form. Today he was the worst player on the pitch again, his mistook passes drove me crazy. It didn´t surprise me at all that our general play got much better when Fabregas came on for him, as the Spaniard is in much better form currently. 

I know tragedies off the pitch distracted Willian so far this season, which is understandable, but he was always a very inconsistent player. I think the competition with Pedro for our RW spot might spur him to better performances from now on. Next summer we can look if someone of real quality is available to replace Pedro/Willian. I mean our RW isn´t our highest priority, as both players are decent, but we still can do better. With Conte as manager and a good season finish we should be able to acquire star players again like som years ago.

'Willian' is trending on Twitter for absolutely no reason at all. I guess even the gods recognise his greatness.

I wonder would it be a good shout to try him in left wing back role?

He was always better on left side and his skills are somewhere between fullback and winger. He can run for ages (at least he could), he is super quick, he can hold on the ball, he is decent at tracking back. 

I would love to try it in cup games first and then maybe it works.

The only con is see he is not exactly tactical guy. I doubt he would sit back if needed. Despite being coached by pragmatic Mourinho and now Conte, he still tries to overcomplicate things sometimes and go solo instead of cooperating.

But if he could adopt, he would be probably brilliant. He doesnt have the quality for winger, but wingback, like Moses he could be perfect.

He would link with Eden brilliantly and if he can work on defending which under Conte I believe he can, it would be damn amazing.

No more right footed players on left back position please He works better at left winger as he can cut inside on his stronger right foot but in left wing back position he needs to stay wide and cross

Yeah thats true, but crosses are something I dont realy rate much. There are many factors even if the player has perfect crosses, it doesnt mean there will be many goals from them. Costa doesnt win many airballs anyway.

Naturaly I would prefer left footed Lwb, but I would love to see Willian get a shot. We dont have many options anyway, and I can see Willian and Eden develop very nice partnership. For a winger, Willian aint that skilled, but for a wingback he would be perfect. If he can learn to defend and track like Moses, he can do it. He is quick and not easy to be pushed off the ball either. 

Marcos has peach of left foot and very good crossing, but most efficient actions are those where he interplays with Eden and midfield with quick passing. He is very good at that, just a tad slow sometimes. Willian is quicker and perhaps it could work, but surely he would need release the ball faster and not dribble and stop every attack like he does now.
