Can't argue with any of that.

Nope. No way. You can close the thread mate

The real comparison should be between Eriksen and Willian as originally Eriksen was the back-up option. For some reason, people refuse to believe it and many complained when I made an Eriksen vs Willian thread earlier this year.

its not all about stats though. Mata's stats were great, Mourinho saw what most couldn't.

This is a big reason as to why Lennon doesn't get enough credit for me. What he brought to the team, our shape, our ability to counter and his defensive qualities shit all over direct stats.

You've been shagging two quite different birds and one too a little longer to suck your willy than the other but both give decent hand jobs.

Which one do you marry ?

Trick question. Neither, as if you marry either one, you significantly reduce your chances of keeping both sources of handies going. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

Willian is good at what he goes, but he is basically a brazilian James Milner. Workrate and disipline with some added stepovers.

Bullet definitely dodged on Willian, thank God. He would be terrible in our team. He's ok at Chelsea because he doesn't have the creative burden. Instead receives praise for his defensive qualities.

Not surprising considering AVB wanted him.

Willian is a very different player but in a top side challenging for titles I'd have him over lamela. Willian is hard working and disciplined. He isn't going to get any better though where as I suspect that lamela will!

Couldn't agree more mate. The space he creates for others as well is a hugely effective part of our attack when he plays.

Isn't that just a Brazilian Aaron Lennon
