2. Give Willian More Of A Chance
Whilst it is true that the Brazilian playmaker is still adapting to life in the Premier League, it is also a fact that he is not being given much of a chance to prove himself. Against the Magpies, the former Anzhi midfielder came on and tested Tim Krul in the Newcastle goal, but offered little else. On Wednesday night he setup Eto'o for his second of the game, and showed himself to be far more effective than Juan Mata and Eden Hazard on the flanks of Chelsea's attack. The 25-year-old is one of seven attacking midfielders in the Blues' new look squad, but is also the one player that has made the fewest starts in the league other than Marco van Ginkel, who has been ruled out for the season. He deserves more of a run in the first team, a fact that could become a positive move as he gets more confident at Stamford Bridge.
