    Bats was okay…did what he had to do which was stick the ball in the back of the net. Worry about him up against top opposition. He’s not yet good enough to lead our line successfully should Morata get injured or suspended.

    Agree with you Stuilse about Bats, his positioning was awful for the majority of the game, Fab was trying to pick him and he will wonder in an offside position far too often. any striker could have scored at least a hat trick against such opponents yesterday.

    Haven’t much to say that hasn’t been said before about this match, but would just add that, whilst he has his critics, and his final product isn’t always of the highest quality, I thought Willian was a joy to watch in this game. His turns, dummy’s, flicks and general passing and movement, was samba football at its most entertaining!

    I totally agree with you about Willian. personally i’m a massive fan of Willian as i feel other than goals he has something extra in his locker. the way he dribbles past players is like they are not there. and let us not forget last season he had double figures in goals. i will be disappointed if he doesn’t start against Arsenal. Conte says he will not gamble of the fitness of Hazard. for that reason, i will start him. even if Pedro has scored on Tuesday. Willian will drag some of their midfielders or wingbacks with him. that will open space for our wingbacks and Fabregas to launch the passes.

    Agree with the liquidator it’s always great to see Willian on his game.

    Can’t wait to see Hazard back and starting alongside Morata what a front three we will have then.

    Despite his technical talents, Willian adds no value to our attack. on the contrary he slows down our attack at a times whilst trying to dribble past players. let us not forget that he plays one of the two 10s behind the striker nowadays. so he should improve his starts in goals and assists. sometimes he takes good positions but still he comes up short. once Hazard returns to full fitness, he is the one who will be under threat. i can’t see Conte benching Pedro, Conte seems to like Pedro. and in Pedro , Morata and Hazard we will have a fearsome attacking trio.

    Wf, great to be able to select 3 from Hazard,Morata,Pedro and Willan though eh. Our front 3 imo is a match for anyone certainly in the PL.

    I def prefer pedro hazard morata rather than willian, he makes good runs and has lots of energy but for me makes the wrong decision to often in and around the box holds on to the ball to long b4 passing or takes a shot instead of passing to some1 in a better position.

    Wonder if Willian could be converted to an attacking RWB. He certainly has the attributes. Just needs to work on his crossing. Strong, quick, technically gifted and can defend. Has decent enough positional awareness as well. Him behind Pedro or Hazard…mmmmmm.

    Not sure if your claims that Willian adds no value to our attack is accurate one. i watched the Everton game and he was part of the build up of both our goals. football is more than scoring or giving final pass to a player. in that game Willian has created 3/4 good chances. and remember we don’t have Hazard yet, so Willian is the second most skillful player in our team right now. he is very important for the right hand side set piece duties. i think people are harsh on him. he didn’t start many games last season but still contributed some important goals. i have every confidence that he will contribute goals as well as assists again.

    yb,all good points my friend and last season we shouldn’t forget Willian suffered with the loss of his Mother and the season before he was player of the season.

    Conte clearly rates him otherwise he would have cashed in on him when Jose came in for him both this summer and last summer.

    Both he and Pedro offer very different qualities and once Hazard is fully fit and playing one will play and one will come from the bench at crucial times and hopefully there will be plenty of games for both to start.
