Played well yesterday though.....
He helps create a fast tempo in games until he shoots...lol
He's in for his defensive work.
It's that simple.
So we got rid of a defender for 40M and bought another one for 10M less
God willian was poor against Stoke, was slightly better yesterday! He's so frustrating but I love him for some reason he's one of them players when we're winning regardless hes a great addition but if we lose and his final ball is the reason for missing chances I can see people getting on his back

No we nicked a player from Spurs and Roman did a favour for a fellow oligarch
According to Talksport Willian has been 6th most creative player in 2014 with 64 chances created....I can not remember any of them lol
How many assists does he actually have ?

I would argue chances created is a better guage than assists......for example how many assists could one have for aTorres.
Chances created means he takes corners
We all know Hazards importance and the joy he is to watch but it has to be said he is just an average finisher and his relatively poor goal stats are boosted by pens. Take those away and he's got a rubbish goal to game ratio for an attacking player.

Hazard has been absolutely outstanding all season. He has won us games with key moments of individual skill. The only dissapointing thing about him is his finishing.
But I get the impression on here that quite a few think it quite fashionable to play down his importance to the team.
I keep seeing people on here claming Robben was and is better than Hazard which I totally disagree with.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Completely agree with everything there...maybe 5050 wrt Robben. But totally agree that Hazard has been fantastic for us and one of our most important players, if not the most. He occupation of 2-3 oppositi players every match makes Oscars and Fabregas's jobs easier. More often then not he is taking a few players on and being involved heavily in the majority of our attacks and all this whilst providing very good cover to our full backs - fantastic player!. The fact that he doesn't get headline stats is the reason why I think people naively play down his contributions to the team. There are two players I alway do not want us to play without and that's Matic and Hazard.
Willian was one of our most creative players and one of the most creative in the league last season according to Squwaka stats. His final balls this season have been quite horrendous sometimes - and it's obvious he has been instructed to shoot more with the amount of time he shoots now.
Willian is a better version of Ramires. Full of running but great on the ball. The attacking threat he brings to the team is zero though.
Hazard is our best player and our most important player. Think we'd struggle without him the most.
Matic is our most important player

In a fantastic, imposing, dominant Bayern side, he stands out as their best player by miles.
-----------------------------------------------------
and there lies the key in that both at Chelsea and Bayern he played for the dominant team in that period although he certainly never stood out as the best player
