OPINION
There’s no doubt that Chelsea winger Willian wasn’t one of the finest players on the pitch in his team’s 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday. When two of your team mates both grab a brace the focus isn’t going to be on you – unless you play particularly badly. While Willian wasn’t dreadful at Stanford Bridge, he wasn’t particularly great either. That’s pretty much been the way his season has gone this term. He’s just not fully firing this campaign and that was made clear once again on Saturday. Huddersfield were there to be got at, as Eden Hazard showed, but Willian just couldn’t seem to get anything going. There was a huge ovation when youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi replaced Willian and while much of that was due to the excitement surrounding the teenager, it was also because of how poorly the Brazilian was playing. He needs to improve fast as the Blues enter a critical phase of the season because he’s not been good enough of late.

Willian and Alonso are so bad ?

I get that Sarri has a philosophy and wants to stick by his system.
What I don't get is why he needs the same players make it work.It's obvious Willian is brain dead and can't be arsed to make a difference.
It's also obvious that Jorginho isn't having any major impact! #CFC

Usually hard to pick out the worst player in a 5 nil win but it was obviously Marcos or Willian. Just not good enough to play for chelsea football club. Both need replacing
