"I am feeling great. I was hurt on my left side in training yesterday (Saturday) and it bothers me a bit but it is nothing significant and it won't stop me training today," the 25-year-old Chelsea player said in a press conference at Brazil's base in Teresopolis.

It's because Jo is the other choice.

"At the same time, Willian is a better player coming from the sides. In my opinion I would go with Oscar as a No. 10 and Willian coming from the side."

Willian has all the tangibles to take on defenders. So quick, creates space for himself a lot. I feel like we all watched it over the span of the entire season with Chelsea. As soon as he gets the ball on the side, he squares up against the defender. Jabs his feet around really quickly, and pokes the ball into space past the first defender. Jumping over the defenders outstretched leg.

Unfortunately, this is where he can get a little frustrating, he cuts the first defender up across the field, then cuts again, and again, and again, and again until he is pretty much dribbling across the pitch dodging tackles lol and then he finds Hazard with a safe pass who sometimes does the same thing the other way haha

It's somewhere between the second and fifteenth touch across the width of the pitch that I sorta feel a true "playmaker" would have the vision to play a dangerous, risky ball vertically/through the cutback lane created by chasing defenders (rather than horizontally). Something Silva, Mata (used to), Iniesta, Messi, etc.

There is a little sense of enjoyment/excitement watching defenders pounce hopelessly trying to tackle, I'd hate to have to mark him 1v1 lol could just be me.

Deserved to start today, and looked good when he came on.

Hopefully he brings that form back here.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Yup this is the reason we sacked Big Phil - he's a fucking idiot

Although the players have to shoulder 90% of the blame!

Poor Willian
