Well, I am comparing the treatment the players get, not try to compare this player is better than that player in terms of skill, technique etc. Okay about consistency is debatable, but how can you compare one player is better everything than other when they're barely played at the same position? What you mentioned next is a different topic, as I believe it has been discussed couple of months ago. Personally, I don't care about his overall performance as long as he is still giving an important contribution on the field by scoring or assisting. I prefer this kind of player, being shit but did that, than having player doing okay performance in almost every game he played, but ended up only score or assist below 5 at the end of season. About every other no 10 comparison, my response will be in one sentence. Ozil is 26, Silva is 29, Cazorla is 30. We could buy a 'ready' no. 10 with a hope of much better performance. But Oscar was here before Jose coming back, he is the reason we sold Mata, Jose likes him, Jose gave him the extension, Jose still preferred a system without traditional offensive freedom no 10 when playing big games, we all think about the future.

Okay, if you guys think he is having enough playing time, then he is still one of our important player then. Also he has a good goal and assist ratio. So basically what the fussed is all about? Every player having an off days, Hazard, Fabregas, Matic, Costa. I am personally think in several games they're all invisible, or in strong words 'they're shit' too. The same applied with Oscar. Why Oscar have a different treatment? So it is between you hate Oscar personally or having double standard in this case. I'm still stick with the assumption it is all about the system Jose preferred, Oscar not playing in away games. And then when Oscar having one bad game despite scoring or assisting, woo people asking for his head. When he is not playing, woo he is not good enough. When he is playing, woo how come this man playing, we're all doomed, Coutinho this better, Coutinho that better. Basically everything he do is all wrong, despite scoring or assisting, in front of some peoples. Positive minded mate, don't be negative all the time about this fella.

Yes, it has been discussed though, it is the system preferred by Jose, he doesn't want to take a risk by putting offensive formation to make sure grab some points in certain matches. So I completely understand the decision to dropped Oscar.

Age is not my point. About the guaranteed part what I mean. Lampard didn't get that last time he was here.

Where do you get that minutes from? how it is compared with other starter players? My point is that when away he is not very often playing, if he is given enough time also while playing away, his goals and assist tally will be much better, but the risks is we could lose some matches, because our attacking formation leaves holes here and there. You choose.

Someone has to said : "we doesn't mind having someone with different opinion in here, but the problem is with how the way you expressed it, with 'f*** here', 'f*** there' never sounds good, and it is become annoying a bit" There I have said it

Because it is Jose Mourinho. When you ever see the teams he managed play attacking football consistently? Never

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2977499/Jose-Mourinho-says-won-t-try-change-Petr-Cech-s-mind-wants-leave-Chelsea-demand-huge-transfer-fee.html huge money, eh PSG?

maybe you could be right, because we never know what is his 'problem' actually (physical condition, sickness, his minds, etc). But for sure he is not getting regular playing time, and that didn't help him at all. As I wrote in my 3rd paragraph, I think it is almost sure because Jose preferred another system when playing particular opponents (big teams away), to get the points. Jose could stubbornly played Oscar in 4231 formation in every match, and I think we will get 'Tottenham away score' when playing City away, Liverpool away for example.

As a 2nd or 3rd? I thought more as a 3rd, so I'm completely fine with it, although I prefer Blackman personally

Well, any player will struggle to show his best if they're not playing weeks in weeks out. He is play today, dropped next match, play again next, dropped again, dropped again, play again. See how Salah doing at Fio, weaker league aside? that's what you get from playing regularly. So unfortunate for Oscar, against particular opponents, Jose prefer more a system that doesn't need Oscar style of play. I don't have a complain though as it is for the team first what is most important. Also in addition, he just signed the extension for 5 more year not long time ago, so whether you have to 'accept' that he will be stick around for a while now, or you will be 'forced dying to accept' that later

Jose has said it, but actually if we play the same team as last match, I thought we will win this comfortably.

Lampard must be 'jealous' to hear that

Time for bribes then, legally.

Agree, I think we don't need Varane, because we already have Zouma. Don't get me wrong that Varane is bad or something, but Zouma could have a future in here. Also I couldn't see Terry and Cahill, yes Cahill, will be released / sold anytime soon. They're English. So that already 3 for 2 position, with Ivan, Ake, Christensen as backup. I don't see the need of Varane at the moment.

Aye

John Terry has won 13 major trophies with Chelsea - should Roy Hodgson open the door for an England return? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2975520/Chelsea-manager-Jose-Mourinho-credit-John-Terry-s-form-England-need-players-Roy-Hodgson-tried-replace-defender-with.html Chelsea captain John Terry is the best defender in the country and after Capital One Cup win, should he return for England?http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2975460/Chelsea-captain-John-Terry-best-defender-country-Capital-One-Cup-win-return-England.html

hear, hear

I think their relationship are just fine, they're respect each other, they play at the same team. The rivalry are in healthy way. We are worried too much imo.

Watching him in a good mood before, during and after the match. No way he will lose the match, he is very confident about it. And in here we're still fuming about Matic absent will lead us to doomsday.

I couldn't understand from where is the obsessions of 'beauty football more important than the result' coming from? Well I think I know, f*** you Guardiola

The real Jose is back. The happy one is back. I'm almost crying seeing that Matic part. Lol at Silvinho.

POCKET MONEY FOR DIEGO Chelsea's main man picked up a coin that was thrown on to the pitch in the first half - tucking it into his shorts.
