There is blame all around for Chelsea FC today, with the team as a whole turning in a dreadful performance in a 1-0 home loss to Leicester City today. While you can’t single out any one individual, forward Willian certainly contributed to the result. He is now a top trending term online, and not in a good way.
A large reason for that is this viral video, which shows him making the absolute least of a corner kick opportunity. Watch as he droves the ball into the side of the goal.

There’s been a deluge of tweets from Chelsea fans showing their disgust with the Brazilian’s showing today, as well as supporters from other clubs, as well as media professionals, expressing plenty of strong critique.
Here are some of the more “colorful” postings.
Willian,
The most consistently awful player I've ever witnessed. Never fails to disappoint me as to how bad he can be on the pitch.

*Willian and Alonso get selected*
*They perform badly*
*Sarri subs them off*
*Starts them the next game*

Let that be the last game Willian plays for Chelsea Football Club.

Well, if Willian is actually on the way out, then perhaps he can go to whatever team hires Jose Mourinho next. You know what a huge fan of the winger the special one is.
