Since his most recent injury he's started 4 matches. Birmingham away, Man City away, Forest home, Liverpool away. A tough set of matches, buf 2 goals vs Birmingham, an assist vs Forest, and by no means someone to single out for blame vs Man City and Liverpool.

 

Find it mad how quickly folk will turn on our players like. If they don't immediately perform after coming back from injury they're on the chopping block with some

He also had 30/20 mins in several other games as a sub. For me its his body language wich is the most frustrating. Today he showed something, but a part from the Birmingham game he has done himself few favours. He has looked uninterested, lazy, no passion. He is supposed to be a player fighting for a place in the midfield. I have not seen a Willock fighting for a place until today.

This is it for me as well. I remember in our CL qualifying season his work rate was insane. Even without the goals he was all over the pitch harrying the opposition and attacking them from the left. We have seen glimpses of the latter, even today, but he doesn't look like he's busting a gut any more. He plays like it's a job and he's not particularly enjoying it.

There’s still talent there, so I’d give the lad time to bed back into the squad.  But it can’t go on indefinitely.
