I guess everyone chooses to see whatever they want to see in that statement.

FBS is simply trying to say he will pick 11 players who will give everything for the team like willian ahead of 11 flashy players(I am deliberately not using hazard as an example here) who are not ready to do the dirty work when needed.



Willian and Hazard were the case subject and he said he will choose 11 Willians over hazard

11 Willians over 11 hazards anytime any day.

For what it's worth, I also believe a team of Willians beats a team of Hazards, purely because Willian is more of a generalist player, while Hazard is a specialist

Nope....and I will not pick hazard ahead of Willian either. They are both very useful to the team but in different ways.

Firstly, there is no need to eject the specificity of the debate. It is a straight Hazard/Willian one.

On the topic, bearing in mind the qualities of just those two players, what is wrong with the statement is that it is made on the assumption that that a team of Hazard cannot/will not defend. And that's not true.

Secondly, I always lean on the side of technical flexibility. A team of Hazards can be taught how to defend tactically because they have a high technical ceiling. And then there's no use over flogging the potency of their attack. Whereas a team of Willians will keep running around looking like they are doing a lot, when in actual fact there are average defenders and very poor attackers. Unfortunately they cannot be taught how to attack. Their technical ability is limited.


So No; It's not what I want to see. It's a debate of technical ability and flexibility.

Bearing in mind the qualities of just those two players, it is not a wrong assumption that a team of Hazard cannot/will not defend. It is simply a fact. They are mentally not wired to labour for 90mins or do the dirty job for 90mins even though you want us to believe they can be taught.

When mou was busy forcing players like hazard to do more defensively we were here reading epistles on how he was being shackled with defensive duties. epistles on how he should be freed to create more,score more blah blah blah blah.......bros I really cannot see how a team of hazard even when taught to defend will do better than that of willian.

We can argue higher ceiling and what not....but I have seen great teams filled with special talents who couldn't compete or do anything against a team of runners or workaholics like Willian.

Take a look at klops liverpool vs arsenal as at last week for example....where is the hazard type of player in that team? All I saw was 11 willing runners....willing to run for 90mins,fight for each ball,win tackles etc...

Now.....i am not trying to downplay the effect hazard brings to the team however we shouldn't forget that, we only had willing runners against spurs not too long ago and we came out victorious.

How did you arrive at the bolded conclusions?

Anyway that apart. The comparison FBS made, I believe, is what both players can offer right now NOT what they can be taught to do.

And I'm with him on this. 11 Willians right now will win 11 Hazards.

I believe you're getting him wrong. Willian is actually a good attacker who also complements with that aspect with good work rate which is what every team needs. A team of workaholics will always supersede a team with just skills and flair.

If chelsea after knocking out a brilliant barca team and went ahead to destroy bayern in their stadium, sending their fans into serious mourning, 11 willians can do that to 11 hazards.

This whole post is a lie. Let me break it down.


1. Fundamental mistake. There will be, in this hypothetical debate, 11 Hazards on the pitch; meaning one player in each position for a team of 11. This is not to be confused with the hypothetical "Hazard" who doesn't run back. Unless you are telling me that for some reason, you think all 11 Hazards will be on the left wing, with cigars in their hands, refusing to go back to their positions. You can see where this is going.
On the other hand, you cannot teach 11 Willians to score and assist in high numbers; no matter what hypothesis we throw in the mix. Whereas, given that there will be a Hazard in every position, they can be taught to defend.



2. You saw the long epistles because there were 10 runners and 1 Hazard. The epistle was not to stop Hazard from running, but running all the way to the back to defend alongside the left back. Why? Well, because Hazard has the potential to score 20 goals in his best season but Willian cannot score more than 4. So it's just wise to let Willian run and let Hazard off some running; let him be a danger and let him score and assist.


3. You cannot use isolated instances of a team of runners to show that they can consistently out-performance a team of skillful players. Pick one team, a team of all consistent runners and no prolific players. Then show me where they have consistently performed and consistently outperformed a team of prolific players with less runners and you get £100. There's none. Instead, what you will find, are isolated cases and I don't consider that as ample empirical evidence to support this point.


4. This point is nearly fraudulent. Liverpool players are runners but they are not Willians. Firminio, Coutinhos, Manes, Sturidges, might be runners, but it doesn't prove your point. They were able to destroy Arsenal because they are prolific. Again, they are not Willians. To stress again. Willians run about without anything to show for it. 11 Willians don't win games but 11 Willians work hard. In fact, they find themselves in interesting positions but they cannot make anything of it. So they lose the game in the dying minute to the creativity of a better player. Firminio was not even a consistent runner before joining Liverpool. Coutinho was nearly a waste-man in Italy. Klopp has turned him into a player who now knows how to defend "from the front" by way of pressing; whilst still remaining extremely prolific. Can Klopp teach Willian to assist and score? Simple.


5. Of course no one of us is looking for an entire 11 filled with strictly either Hazards or Willians; it's supposed to be intelliegent debate describing how each party's ability could enable them to win a game.
