OPINION
Willian could have had the game of his life, scored a hat-trick and supplied a tonne of assists against Watford, but he would still be ripped to shreds by certain parts of the Chelsea fanbase, who just seem to have it in for the Brazilian attacker everytime he plays. Yes, sometimes Willian is poor and yes, Chelsea could maybe sign someone who is much better than him in January if Maurizio Sarri has the money to spend but come on, when he plays well he deserves credit like everyone else does. Willian had a decent game in the 2-1 win against Watford on Wednesday. It wasn’t his best performance of the season but he was definitely one of the better players for the Blues. Is it just because he doesn’t score goals regularly that he gets ripped into by some fans? In 27 appearances across all competitions this season, Willian has scored just four goals, with his last one in the Premier League coming back in October. Maybe he needs to score to get himself in the good books of these Chelsea fans, but there is more to a good performance than just hitting the back of the net.

Get rid of Alonso and Willian

Willian is becoming a liability in @ChelseaFC attack, @hazardeden10 could easily have scored a hatrick and one assist today #plfanzone

Azpi has improved his game (teamwork) a little. Kovacic, Jorginho and Willian still pretty much useless. #CFC #WATCHE

Shocking first half from Chelsea, Alonso being lazy and slow, poor show from Jorginho, Willian being Willian, glad to see CHO on the pitch and very shaky at the back slowly things were speeding up towards the end though, can only hope for a better final 45. #CFC #WATCHE

Willian needs to come off for Giroud, He hasn’t been in the game at all and Hazard needs some help up front! #WATCHE #cfc
