WILLIAN

He has provided that spark since he has been starting that Hazard and Oscar have not been currently providing. Hazard keeps falling down every minute anyways as that's what defenders do when you have a flashy player like Hazard. Willian is a direct and explosive player in comparison who provides a much needed alternative. He is not just a luxury item. Also seems more defensively useful than Hazard (which I'm measuring because that's what Mourinho implements). As for Schurrle...I don't even know what he does on the pitch. The last game he had a few direct chances but for too many games he has been quiet. And KDB has faded since the start of the season. Can't see four other players better than Willian at the moment.

Ideal line up: Hazard-Mata/Oscar-Willian

I disagree again, he hasn't been better than Hazard and he isn't very direct, he is a plain and simple Brazilian flair winger.

Schurrle is in great form and runs at the defence which is what we need, If Hazard did it more then Schurrle wouldn't be as needed but Hazard has been drifting in and out of games recently. Also Schurrle is our best defencive winger, he commits just has hard in defence as he does in attack, that is why Mourinho likes him.

Our best Band of three is: Hazard-Oscar-Schurrle

I still believe Mata should be in there but obviously Jose Doesn't.

Spuds

Read the full interview HERE, it has some other good pieces.

 

Yeha, turns out he is a fan of the club. I love how spurs brought him to London just so we could buy him

Well, with the high wages Chelsea probably offered, I'd be a fan of the club too

In fairness, I can remember him talking about wanting to play for Chelsea in December 2011 just ahead of the transfer window that January.

I am glad Schurrle and Willian are self confessed fans tbh. reflects nicely on the club.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but it's got to be one of my favourite songs.

Was really hoping we would sign him during the summer AVB was appointed, been a fan of him for a while.

Quickly becoming my fav at the moment.

Blue?? You're alive??!!


Long time no see!

ha ha, yeah still alive. Been real busy, went months without internet due to backpacking. Watched Chelsea games on a few occasions, the Arsenal game was the 3rd game i have seen all season and boy was that boring. Will post more since i can watch Chelsea games more regularly, and so far i am liking the EPL deal with NBC, it looks like i will get a chance to watch many of those Chelsea games on tv instead of streaming.

Happy Holiday brother.   

Good to hear from you again, mate.

Great video on him on WAGNH, shows his work ethic, even a few quality tackles. He's improved so much over these past few games.

Gotta say, I didn't like the transfer at first, but he has really grown on me, quality signing.

Yeah 100% agree, thought he was a waste of money and would just be riding our bench. Was totally wrong though and if he keeps improving and learning how to play in the PL then i'm very excited to see what he produces. I love that not only is he a great dribbler and can create from nothing but he works his socks off.

Certainly, I feel there is room for improvement too.

Also, He is a lot quicker than he looks, deceptively.

Yeah I think It was Cech who was saying he's the only player that he's ever seen run as much as Ramires

Lazy Brazilians, huh?

He was always a quality player. People did not expect him to start ahead of Mata but they did not count on Mou's ostracisation of Juan. Willian-Oscar-Hazard is exactly the type of attack that Mourinho loves to play with.

Willian <3

MOTM for me vs Hull.

I thought Hazard was better.

I thought Willian was more prevalent throughout. Also got the assist for the second goal.

"Only bought to keep a rival from getting him" etc etc.


Hilarious.
