Willian

[Special Juan 27,439]

I actually didn't think he was that bad.

[yuvala 2,167]

He did ok..

Still not really able to create too much.

[bababoom 4,478]

He's basically a more skillful version of Valencia, both have no vision or creativity at all.

I still can't believe we've spent 30 million on him...

[Shakez 755]

He completed the most passes in the final third. Haters gonna hate...

[The Skipper 20,593]

It's difficult to create when you have no striker in front of you in the first half and a fraud up front in the second, and when we have no pattern to our play if we're not counter attacking.

[Eligius 121]

I bet if Willian was on Tottenham as the Bale replacement, everyone on this board would of been saying "why didn't we sign Willian when he wanted to come to Chelsea and is a Chelsea fan."

[lionsden 4,689]

Another shit game. Takes ages to make his mind up and no vision whatsoever. No end product whatsoever from a £30m player.

but but but He works hard though and that's all that matters. a £30m workhorse. Jesus wept.

How is Juan doing?

[Pizy 18,417]

He does essentially the same thing each time he gets the ball. He does a couple of nice step overs and runs with it only to stop and make a 5 yard pass or lay it off for someone. Always looks like he's about to do something great but fizzles out.

Think he'll benefit next season if we get our wish and move Azpi back to his side to ease his defensive load. If we then get Shaw who's good going forward on Hazard's side Eden will then have another option to play off of which he doesn't have now since Azpi doesn't overlap much.

How is Juan doing?

Juan is playing like shit at utd and has been for the entire season and what's your fucking point?

willian is still useful on the right side moreso than Juan was and going to be for us.

Not to call you out or anything but I remember you having a Torres avatar earlier this year...my point being what a fucking fraud he really is, toying with us with his flashes of form and then turning in shit performance after shit performance yet again...FRAUD.

Yeah, that was to pay homage over his performance against Man City, by far away his best in a CFC shirt.

But yeah, dude is the biggest fraud in football right about now. Gets paid £175k a week, cost us £50m... Honestly, stealing a living. Third season in a row where he's filled the fans up with false hope after some decent performances to begin with.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

He has 2 goals and 1 assist in 20 matches. That's ridiculous for an attacking player who plays for Chelsea. He does everything else so well, but once he gets near the 18 yard box, he looks clueless. He needs to do a lot of work with his incisiveness in the final third if he wants to be considered a top player.

Whilst I agree with what you say he does need to up his game. On the other hand I also feel his work rate and pressing goes UN-noticed to many a follower of Chelsea. I was at the Bridge some weeks ago and was given the task of choosing one player to watch for the club team I run as an assessment on one player, I chose Willian. I can honestly say I was blown away with his energy off the ball and his ability to close down and pressure an opponent.

This is his first full season and his game has changed dramatically since he was at Shaktar Donetsk. He was never asked to track back, pressure, close down or work to the rate he has done here. Jose is making him a different players to what he wants for the team.

[bababoom 4,478]

His workrate is insane, but the fact is we could of got someone to press and track back for about 3 million, not 30.

[Eligius 121]

Di Maria went from a headless chicken under Mourinho to arguably the best player at Real this season (at least most consistent).

Look how great our Juan Mata was when he was deployed as the rw under Mourinho..
