I can see his statue outside Stamford Bridge now

you weren't joking

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

Single handedly keeping Mourinho in a job, and us in the title race.

I would add Begovic and Azpi.

Willian wasn't good outside of his nice free kick.

Is willian not tracking back for ivan this season? Last season, it seem like ivan had more help???

He didn't play as well as he did in the previous three matches in which he scored. Apparently he was taken ill during the game today: https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/650389085660553217?lang=en-gb

The nice free kick which gave an anemic offense a lead at home we couldnt hold on to.

He was the best midfielder out there until he went off and Mane took over.

His goalscoring record at Chelsea:

2013/14 - 4 goals

2014/15 - 4

2015/16 - 3 4

Well, at least he has matched his goal tally from each of the last 2 seasons. That's a plus.

possibly only him and Begovic deserve to be paid this year

You forgot Azpi.

[zolayes 14,489]

You forgot Azpi.

perhaps

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.

4 in 4...[emoji56]

[DYC. 7,542]

4 in 4...[emoji56]

4 FKs. A specialist hits 5 in a good year, 7-10 in an exceptional year. Two of Willian's weren't even direct attempts. That last one was sweet.

A FK goal in four consecutive matches has to be a record right?

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

Needs to be more vocal. He won free kicks for Brazil, and then let Hulk and Oscar take them. No way man he gotta step up for that.

That aside he was the best player for Brazil today, although that isn't saying much when he kept passing to a guy(Oscar) who literally looked like he didnt want to be there.

[manpe 10,857]

He wasn't all that last season, was often frustrating to watch, but he started getting better progressively and this season he's been our best winger... or the best attacking player in general. Well done lad, long may it continue.

Oscar, Willian criticized heavily in Brazil after losing to Chile in World Cup qualifying

"Willian is a good player, but he's average. And he already has a certain amount of experience and we hoped that before the World Cup he would come into the competition as a player at another level, above his current one. He didn't show himself up in the World Cup and I think [...] he is a symbol of Brazilian football's current state."

"I don't think he will improve any further and he's a symbol of the Seleção; he's a starting player in this team despite being only average."

"You can imagine that Douglas Costa will evolve, you can think Philippe Coutinho be more than that, but Willian won't take the same step. He's already at the peak of his career. And he's completely average. He doesn't decide games. He doesn't score."

"He isn't [a protagonist]. But he plays in a position which needs someone to make more of an impact on the pitch, to do something different."
