The grass is always greener on the other side for football fans. When you have a player playing for you every week, you tend to notice their flaws more than their positives – especially with creative players who have to take a lot of risks and get things wrong to get things right.
That was certainly the case with Willian at Chelsea. As we now enter an unprecedented era of poor output form our forwards, it’s tempting to look back at the criticism he got from fans who were desperate for us to lump a load of cash on flashy new forwards.
Look where that’s got us?
