Willian

[mtowle182 79]

This guy guarantees at least a 7/10 performance every game.

yeah, he can have an ehh game offensively but how much defensive work he does makes his presence on the field really felt.

[Barbara 15,149]

He was very good against Newcastle. His contribution from Luiz to Hazard for our first goal is a testament to that.

[didierforever 7,349]

Expect him to start again in the #10 against City in the cup. Completely nullified Toure.

pele would have go be a special kind of idiot to play toure against us 3 days before thwir match against barca

i really don't know but if he lock in the mind game stuff he will be trying to prove a point against Jose and that is where he lose the battle

[Excalibur KTBFFH 109]

He still needs to step up in the final third though (and I know it takes time). We paid 30 million for him, far too much if you ask me, considering that we bought Hazard for 32 million (a fair price was probably 22-25) and we are going to need to see some more productivity in terms of goals and assists. Hard-work, running and contribution in both halfs of the pitch is not enough at that price. Also needs to be more direct when he's in the box instead of putting in hopeful low-crosses. Can still improve a lot.

All that is correct, there is room for improvement definitely. Jose will make sure what he needs to up his game and it will come to fruition. His work rate right now is phenomenal, his distribution and link up play is also very, very good. Right now Willian is a proper team player, he is doing everything asked of him and for the shifts he is putting in he is nigh on un-droppable.

City don't exactly have many options for rotation at CM atm, though.

A duo of Rodwell and Milner will be welcomed...

rodwell and milner. Garcia is coming back I think.

Think they'll want to stay in the cup a bit more than to do that. I hope they do, though.

Indeed......

depends on what the manager might want. I remember RDM making 9 changes for the arsenal game after the fitst leg against barca. And that was PL. This is a cup game.

Yeah, but this cup game means more than that PL game because our hope of getting 4th place was already gone and our only realistic chance of making the CL was by actually winning it. The Arsenal game was more of a meaningless friendly than anything else.

He's been recalled for the Brazil friendly against South Africa . Alongside Luiz, Ramires, and Oscar. Who is his main competition for a starting spot though? I guess Hulk or Gustavo no?

Full Brazil Squad: Cesar, Luiz, Dante, Thiago Silva, Alves, Marcelo, Rafinha, Gustavo, Paulinho, Fernandinho, Ramires, Oscar, Willian, Hulk, Bernard, Neymar.

Ramires will be his main competition, even though he should play Rami ahead of Paulinho, but i think he likes to play Rami as a RAM, it would be Hulk also but without Fred i think Scolari will play Hulk as a striker.

Scolari will probably play

Cesar

Alves - Luiz - T.Silva - Marcelo

Paulinho - Fernandinho/Gustavo

Willian/Ramires - Oscar - Neymar

Hulk
