Overall Sanchez did have a better season than Willian however in the last 1/3 of the season Willian did lift his game whilst Sanchez dropped his performance by a few levels.

 

Just hope Willian could maintain this standard for the full season than we can stop complaining about that dreaded right wing 

 

I'd expect any player to have a dip in the new year when coming to a new league. Matic's performance dropped. Fabgreas's performance dropped.Costa's performance dropped but he also suffered injuries. 

 

Willian is in his second season and after 80-odd games for us he finally put together a run of good (not excellent) performances. You can either look at that as 'turning a corner' to borrow and Arsenal fan's phrase or a blip. At the age of almost 27, the latter is far more likely isn't it?

I don't think Sanchez disappeared after Christmas but I think he ha a similar dip to Fabregas in that his performances weren't quite at the same level but he was still getting goals. However it's to be expected when a player is playing that well the intensity can't be expected to be kept up all season.

In your opinion, which I think on the day's of many games towards the back-end of the season is in the minority.

He was good against Everton in February, not excellent but he got the winner.

 

He was good against Stoke and his pressing led to the goal.

 

He was good against Arsenal, worked hard.

 

He was excellent against Leicester.

 

He was good against Palace and Sunderland.

 

Have I missed any?

How about you get a life and stop spamming football boards?

William was fantastic at the end of the season, even before that he was working his socks of but towards the end he added a real intent to attack to his game. I wouldn't swap him for Sanchez, people can call me mad if they want but the amount of games we've won cause of Willian's hard work, tracking back etc is plenty.

The guy has posted the same link in 7 sections today and it has nothing to do with Chelsea.

It came up as a virus warning on my computer so I was warning everyone else.

It's also the same link a previous banned member was posting and he too had just joined that day.

Is that not ok by you or something?

Looks like the poster was banned in any case as the links have been removed by admin

Willian over Sanchez? Just when you think you've heard everything.

I think he fits better in the system we used after christmas instead of the more free flowing football in the earlier part of the season. I think he is the type that needs strict rules and instructions to excell. Too much freedom confuses him.

In the same way that Arsenal fans will prefer Coquelin over Matic

Rumours that Juventus are planning to bring Willian. I don't think we should think about selling Willian.

No chance we would sell him.

I'd be shocked 

We won't sell Willian. Mourinho likes him too much and he seems very happy here.

Jose won't be selling William, he loves this guy.

Yeah right, no chance.

No way Jose

I would be very disappointed as there is more to come imo.

Yeah like some goals hopefully.

I'll settle for some shots on target. 

he needs to up his game and take control of games when haz (or others) is not on his game or injured. we don't have players who can take control of a game and make impact when our other influential players aren't imposing themselves as much. this is why we're behind the other 3 best sides in europe; once haz and fab are marked out of the game, we lose our creativity and control of the game. willian certainly has shown he has the ability to be more influential, but for some reason he still comes across as a passenger.

Possibly my favourite player after Hazard, such a different talent

William should play number 10 when we have played him more central he has been the best player on the pitch, he isn't a winger....
