It amazes me some of the throw away comments that some apparent fans post. Do you watch the games? What does Willian do in tight matches wide on the right?
Decides he can't beat the man, and passes it backwards, sideways or crosses into the box to an opposition player. Most of the time.
Did you watch pre season? Did you watch Cuadrado at Juventus where he was a double medal winner? At least he tries to beat a man, create some pace, cross ACCURATELY into the box to someone on his side, and / or draw a foul.
To succeed you have to do something different and playing Willian every match with his run around like a headless chicken approach makes the team far too predictable and far too easy to defend against.
Moses when given a chance at least tries to run at defenders, beat them with his direct approach and cross accurately. He's a very good alternative if Hazard is injured or being marked tightly.
Can't understand the support for Pedro either. He should be ahead of other players because the club paid £21 million for him? That's pecking orders gone mad again. If he's playing consistently well, he should play, but he hasn't been. You pick on form not reputation.
