Willian

[stroey 2,525]

“I’ve been practising free-kicks for a long time, but until this season I haven’t had many opportunities to take them during the game,’ he says. ‘Now I have, and it comes from something I’ve been practising.

“I’ve been hitting the ball with a lot of intensity and I’ve found a way of striking them from wide on the left with a lot of pace and velocity so that there is a chance for my teammates to get a touch on the ball, but if it happens that no one gets a touch, it passes straight into the goal.”

A proper solider. Unlike the other clowns in the squad he gives 100% every game and has stayed professional throughout this shit year. Certainly my favorite player atm.

Crazy Jason said his delivery from FKs was poor.

His direct FKs are pretty awesome. Power and swerve. What a turnaround.

A true club legend at this point. He's my favorite player in the team along with JT and Ramires right now.

Spectacular performance.

[LAM09 6,750]

Still not a great fan of his (quality wise), but his commitment and desire to the cause is second to none.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I always liked him for the work he puts in. Never been a fan of his offensive displays tho.

But boy, he actualy fights for this team along Azpi. If only other players would do the same.

[zolayes 14,489]

Lukaku/Torres/Eto'o/Ba

Hazard/Schurrle - Oscar/Mata - de Bruyne/Will.I.An/Moses

Lampard/Mikel/Luiz - van Ginkel/Essien/Ramires

Cole/Bertrand - Terry/Luiz - Cahill/Ivanovic - Kalas/Azpilicueta/Ivanovic/Essien

Cech/Schwarzer/Blackman

What a squad we have now. And the above doesn't even infer player interchangability, such as Schurrle/de Bruyne/Ramires/Hazard/Willian/Oscar/Mata all being able to rotate.

not a dig at Alex but just a bump from two years ago when we signed Willian .. Incidentally many said he was awaste of money

to be honest, at that point of time, even i thought it was a waste of money. but damn, he has been one of our best players in a long time. his workrate, his attitud club for the club is heart warming to watch. if only some of the "better players" could care half as much.

also, the list u gave just makes me sad as to what we have lost. sad, really really sad.

Would add to the above that he has superb change of pace, it is Kakaesque.

Has been brilliant so far, and Player of the Year in 2015

Kafkaeqsue? Ah, you are referring to 'The Metamorphosis'. I can see how in a sense his acceleration into top speed can be juxtaposed to Gregor's transformation.

Next to players like Fabregas it is the opposite situation. Value for money at the time and for a while he was. Hopefully we can see that 09/10 Fabregas once more.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

He has fight in him, fans appreciate such dedication. But I can't get over the fact that anytime he's our best player, we play terrible.

Not taken as a dig at all mate! Just proves a point, doesn't it? Look at that squad - twice the squad we have now.

His transformation has been incredible. Hard work and patience has helped him develop into the player he is now.

Initially I was gutted to see us pay so much money for him but the lad has done extremely well for us. High work rate is uncommon to find these days and I am glad we signed him instead of Spurs. Really could have been a game changer for them.

Everybody has to check this moment out. Look at 1:22-1:27. Watch it a couple of times. He froze time. That was dope. That was stellar. That was magic haha. Willian is playing at a different speed at the moment.

Edit: Outstanding performance. Truly. It's a shame he took one touch too many for the disallowed Fabregas goal. He had the chance to play him earlier on, it never would've been flagged for offside if he did. But still, that was Hazard-esque. I was too upset about losing to marvel about Willian but I loved his performance. I even love the fact that he took a shot from the half-way line.

It's just a shame that everyone bar him, Azpilicueta and Begovic is broken.

You saying he looks like a big insect ? racist.

Mate, just a few weeks ago people were saying Kenedy was an upgrade over him. Football is such a fickle world.
