Is it just me or has Willian's set pieces lately has been extremely piss poor ? :ph34r:

 

I mean, his corner deliveries cannot even beat the first man off the ball anymore :lol:

 

I say give Fabregas both freekicks and corners kicks from now on. Way better final product IMO.

Been poor since New Year. Cesc should be taking most (if not all) from now on.

His corner deliveries have, more often than not (like 90% of the time), failed to beat the first man in the box. So, I'm not sure what is so surprising there.

It's pretty weird to see a player that is regarded as one of the best deadball specialist in Europe to not be able to take corners brilliantly, I'm not dissing Willian OFC. I loved him since back when he joined us in 2013, props to him for stepping up his game for this season.

One of the best deadball specialist in Europe? :lol:

3-4 months of scoring from free kicks doesn't make one a specialist.

Are you implying that the free kicks that Willian scored in the last few months of last year as ''flukes'' then ? From what I have seen, I don't think any of them were ''lucky goals'' or ''goalkeeping errors''.

I'm not implying those free kicks were flukes. They were great but it doesn't change the fact that he only managed to do that for 3-4 months and doing it for only such a short period of time doesn't make one a specialist.

He scored 5-6 FKs in quick succession. A dry spell was always going to happen. Question is if he can get back to converting free-kicks on the regular (though it will never be like before). Agree with Jason here, too early to call him a specialist. Drogba had that one season, converting FKs and regularly threatening. 09/10. But never again.

I think it was just a hot spell. Hasn't been close with most of his efforts in the last three months.

No one in the entire known history of the game has ever been able to continue the rate of conversion Willian experienced over an extended period . Of course it was just a hot spell and of course he won't get it back. Such runs as Willian's and The Drog's are never more than coincidences dressed as form.

Juninho's rate wasn't as good as that, but still very impressive. However, his accuracy was normally on point most of the time. Willian isn't even hitting the target as of late

You've got a great point there, Jason. I'll admit it that it was pretty childish from my POV, 3-4 months of good run of form in FKs doesn't mean that the player is a specialist in taking FKs. Sorry for the late reply btw, I'm too busy nowadays and can't really be arsed to check the forums daily :)

Drogba's form back in 2009/10 season was insanely good bro, one of the best performances I have seen from a striker in recent times.

Chelsea will hold discussions with the Brazil football confederation amidst concerns that Willian could miss the start of next season if he is selected to represent his country at the Olympics. The winger, who has been Chelsea’s star performer this campaign, is also set to play for Brazil at the Copa America. Willian has scored four league goals this season. (London Evening Standard)
 

Fucking joke this is :middlefinger: take Oscar instead
