I'm saying from the beginning, he should play with Pepe next to him. He is tidy on the ball unlike Pepe, but Pepe gives us productivity Willian can't offer.
Why is Bumteta playing only one at a time is beyond me. Think Willian would be decent behind the striker with Pepe on the right.
Willian is really good on the ball and can keep it under pressure. With Partey-Ceballos behind him and Pepe on the right, think it would be our winning combination. How does Arteta always come up with Xhaka, Elneny and Pepe on the bench is a mystery to me
Could be Arteta wants something different... It's definitely not ideal, but I don't see any other way how do we have all of our best players on the pitch.It's baffling. The only time we played attacking fluid and through the mid was with Willian behind Auba and Pepe on the right (2nd half vs Sheffield) and we never saw it again.
Maybe too expresive for Arteta?
I saw this man and Elneny win a ball. Then this man stood with the ball while Elneny made space from himself. He stood and WAITED to be tackled. Then ended up giving away a throw. If this is experience I say play the kids

Honestly I thought he would be played as a 10 when he was signed. I can't understand why he would be played on the wing when he clearly has lost pace.It’s very difficult to be a winger in this sport when you have neither the pace nor the inclination to make runs at or behind defenders.
As a result he represents no threat whatsoever. A guy out for a jog who is easily closed off by defenders and ends up going backward more than forward because he can’t create time and space for himself.
This is actually insane
I called this wrong. I started watching a lot chelsea matches post lock down last season as we were being linked and he was brilliant, he was or one of their best players so I welcomed the signing.
Apart from a very good debut Willian hasnt been anywhere near acceptable form wise. After learning Willian is 9m a year and highest paid player after Özil and PEA this has proven to be an atrocious deal so far.
