Willian

Ironic coming from a player who's scored only 4 goals in his last 45 league games.

We lose the talkative Belgians and now gain another spokesman. [emoji19]

Not really getting the serial complaining when he's been getting picked lately. If he kept playing like he did against Leicester fair enough but he's started the last three league games and we've played well on all of them.

He seems to bring to the table what the youngsters (right now) lack and complements Mount and Tammy fairly well.

I don't want him and Pedro on the same pitch together again, but given the youthfull age of all our other attackers I think one or the other being on doesn't do any harm, infact I think it helps.

Well said. I seriously could not believe the hate he got on the match day thread, and after that performance, he is still getting all the hate. I mean, sometimes you have to wonder if you have watched the same game.

The guy gave his all in these 90 minutes. He was tireless. Similar to the willian of old where he just ran and ran for the team. 

It's just frustrating to see this happening. People calling him a "fraud" and wanting to start a not yet fully fit CHO, meanwhile blaming Frank for naivety in bringing in not yet fully fit players like emerson, Rudi and Kante. I mean "what the fuck", make up your minds people. I guess no matter how well the club is doing, "fans" are going to use one player or another as a scapegoat/punching bag no matter how he performs.

Spotted last season that Willian and Callum have good chemistry together.

No, football gods.

Lampard said he has no news regarding Willian's contract situation in his presser.

Why are we getting excited for? We are entering his typical 2 months of good form. We see it every bloody year.  This isn't some rebirth of Willian where we can expect him to remain the same consistency for the next 9 months. 

For what the club is paying him, we should be expecting these kinds of performances more often. There wouldn't be so much resentment towards him if that were the case. Instead we get 5 league goals a season on average.

But the truth of the matter is, this is Willian's level, and why we should've aspired for greater years ago.

Oh look who liked the post. What a shocker!

2 goals in his last 2 games. If he keeps scoring goals then hes doing what the others arent. We need goals from other players than just Tammy. Doubt he will score much more next few weeks with his record but who knows ?

You know it's rough when some are ecstatic about TWO goals in 30+ games.

You would think Willian is a rival player, the amount of flack he gets on here. It seems even when he does well or scores, some will find a way to mock him or not give him praise. He has been a long servant for us and the lack of appreciation is odd.

I love this theme of people seemingly failing to acknowledge someone's frailties and lambast others for stating them in the process.

Aside from the goal, give me a rundown on what he did positive?
