Willian

I think with the Fabregas signing his place is under even more threat especially if he does not improve in the final third

Not really.

Aside from Hazard, Willian is the attacking player that played most of our top matches. Aside from the West-Ham game Mourinho always preferred Willian in the 4-3-3 setup. He was the player Mourinho raved about in having improved since the Shakthar days. He's also a player that would give his life for the team (not literally) A fact Mourinho touched up upon after Hazard's critical mistake when he didn't not cover his fullback against Atletico. Mourinho values defensive stability above almost anything, seeïng he never criticised any of the defending 4.

Willian is also seen as a winger, and both Oscar and Fabregas are not. Schürrle will always be the main threat for Willian's starting spot (and Salah too a lesser extent).

Oscar will be our Number 10 next season, but Mourinho won't think twice about replacing him with Fabregas if he performs the way he did in the last part of our season. I don't think Mourinho was up in joy when he saw Oscar performing like he did in Brazil. Mainly because he expected it, and it validates most people concerns that he was holding himself back for the World Cup.

lol

The "nation" wants Willian starting games. He is way more "entertaining" than Hulk.

I think he is BETTER than Hulk as well

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

You must be crazy.

1 goal every 10.5 games and 1 goal every 11 shots games for an attacking midfielder is flat out bad but he's never been a scorer. He scored only 20 goals in 140 games in Russia. He is not a good finisher.

As a Mexico fan, I'd rather Hulk play vs us than Willian. Haha

[different level 1,056]

Probably my favourite player from the Brazilian national team. Hope he starts the next game on the right wing instead of Ramires and Hulk (if he's fit).

[Kieran. 6,317]

Is he gonna get a chance?

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Was in for a chance to play if Brazil won yesterday. I seriously doubt Scolari would trust him with crucial games coming up.

[BloodIsBlue 291]

Big mistake on Scolari's part not playing Willian, it might do them in against Colombia in the quarters if they get there.

[Toli 977]

probably the worst set-piece taker in the current football world. atrocious at freekicks, corners and also penaltys as it seems.

[Special Juan 27,429]

He looked a broken man after that penalty miss. Chin up lad.

He was decent at it today.

Just missed a penalty, but that isnt the sum of him as a player any more than Oscar's missed free header against Mexico in the olympic final is his sum as a player.

[The only place to be 11,313]

His penalty reminded me of Diana Ross in the 1994 World Cup Opening Ceremony.

[JDY 1,290]

His FKs were dangerous when he came on, but I had a feeling he would miss the penalty. Only seems to score great goals!

[Styles 9,790]

I was gutted for him when he missed but at least they're through. Hate to see our guys fail on the big stage like that, it was such a bad penalty.

Stay away from them in the future though!

Scolari needs to make that change next time.

Wanted to see Chile win. But I was crushed when Willian missed. As much as I dislike Brazil, i still love our guys haha.
