Interview after Arsenal

Of course you are not insulting a member but what you are doing is letting your true emotions spill over into hatred, which is shocking considering it's towards one of our players.
Forget the other players threads because I am addressing you personally here and about this.....stop calling our players 'Pieces of shit'

WILL YOU EVER make one decent post?

Ridiculous

He has, but after his start... 7 in his first four games, etc., its easy to see why people have revised their targets to more ambitious ones. I still think he'll reach 25 for the season which represents a stunning first season. Even when he is not scoring he is an absolute fucking nightmare. The amount of attention defenders have to pay to him is obscene. I genuinely think its because we have a brilliant striker that Eden has been able to shine this season. With Torres you could almost leave him be because 9 times in 10 he was borderline useless. All teams that play a similar style to our counter-attacking football need a striker to do the team's donkey-work.

We must be the only fans in the world who try to convince everyone that our own players are dog-shit, even though they are not. Yes, Coutinho is improving(don't need to hear more of that) and yes, we need an upgrade. Maybe Oscar is just limited and doesn't improve. But he will still be a very good squad player. Don't know why people even consider selling him. Always tries hard, never complains.

is Oscar better than Mata ,,, I don't know . Is he better than KDB ..I dont think so but WHAT I do know is that they are not here and he IS. THats why I back him 100%

In the midst of all the outrage, have to say Luis was superb today. Easily the MOTM and his best performance at the club so far. Looked dangerous in attack and was quite solid defensively too.

Imagine someone who constantly berates a manager for refusing to show enough faith in young players, only for that person to vociferously brag about the fact that 2 & a half years ago he wrote off a 21 yr old making a big transition from the Brazilian league to English football. Imagine actually bragging about something like that. As if that's something to be proud of. As if that's something that should be lauded.
There are a few members on here who questioned whether Oscar was good enough to play in the 10 position, Skipper being one of them. Yet despite not being entirely convinced by Oscar's talent, Skipper still defended him on numerous occasions. That's what a football fan with strong principles of nurturing young players does. Regardless of whether they have doubts about the player's potential, they still show a willingness to support the player. A strong desire to see that player succeed at this club. You though never even gave Oscar a chance. You never gave him an ounce of support. A young Chelsea player making a huge step up in his career and you constantly berated him, rarely praised him when he was playing well and the most perverse thing is how you used every. single. poor performance as a victory of sorts and as an opportunity to further slam him. You sit there in front of your screen and give lip service to showing faith in young players but the truth is, you lionsden care more about being right than any larger commitment to youth.
For all your talk about the ills of modern football, you exemplify everything that's wrong with it. You're a walking parody of yourself - a parody that honestly isn't funny anymore.

Fucking boss with the last part LOL

Gonna miss the guy, not gonna lie! Cheers dude!

Forget the 5-a-side dream teams that Manchester United players have been selecting recently. Here are some stats from Opta powered fantasy football game www.oulala.com that prove Chelsea have the ultimate 5-a-side team!
With such a formidable attacking line-up, goalkeeper Petr Cech would be redundant, watching on from a distance as his team mates bomb forward. The four Chelsea stars in front of him all feature in the top seven players overall in the Premier League that have directly contributed towards the most goals this season. Assists and goals combined.
Winger Eden Hazard has scored 8 and assisted a further 4 this term. A total of 12 goals that the Belgian has either supplied or finished is enough to place him seventh in the overall goal contribution table.
Attacking midfielder Oscar has played a part in 13 of Chelsea's goals this season. The Brazilian has scored 6 and assisted 7 more. He takes sixth spot.
Midfield creative genius Cesc Fàbregas currently leads the whole of Europe in terms of assists with 15 to his name. With 2 goals as well, the ex-Arsenal and Barcelona player's total of 17 is good for fourth place overall.
Striker Diego Costa sits top of the Premier League's scoring charts this season with 17 goals. Another 2 assists and a total of 19 goals that the hit-man has contributed towards puts him joint top overall.

The remaining three Premier League stars that make up the top seven include Arsenal's Alexis Sánchez who shares top spot with Costa on 19. Manchester City striker Sergio Agüero is one shy of the top two after being instrumental in 18 of his teams goals this season putting him third. Charlie Austin of QPR has been enjoying a fantastic debut season in the top flight and has been involved in 16 of his teams goals, enough for fifth spot overall.

Oscar isn't the most technically competent midfielder. That's why Fabregas is in the side. Oscar is an absolute work-horse and that's his role in the side.

I guess the problem I have with most of these criticisms of Oscar is that too much significance and value is being placed on something that doesn’t really make a huge difference to the team’s success when looked at in the larger context of the player’s overall contributions. Oscar’s passing can be frustratingly sloppy sometimes, that’s a fair assessment but on the other hand his productivity has been mightily impressive. So while Oscar might be ”failing” in one or two aspects of his role as a number 10, he’s also highly performing in many other aspects of his job. The positives very much outweigh the negatives so I’m confused why so much more importance and value is being placed on him misplacing 10 or so passes than on his excellent output this season. I just think that there’s something very frivolous in complaining about the sloppiness of a player’s passing when that player's direct contributions to 13 goals in the league has helped the team maintain a title challenge. Ultimately, his input in 13 goals is so much more valuable to the team’s success than him being able to complete 85% of his passes in every game.
People have every right to criticize him, but others also have every right to say that these people criticizing Oscar are nitpicking. 23 years old, 6 goals and 7 assists, and here we are complaining that he routinely misplaces 5-10 easy passes, hmmm...
Well, in an ideal world yes but in the real world you have average players who are excellent passers of the ball and excellent players who are average passers. Nuances like that exists. Assessing a player's contribution to his sides's attacking play only by how high his pass completion is seems like a very skewed way of judging a player's talent.

why dont you start supporting ALL our players

and people dare to compare him to Willian and favor the latter over him... For such a deft CAM he has assisted five in the last nine, a walking contradiction
Involved directly in 7 goals in the last 9 matches is more than Willian has probably done in his career here

Oscar could have attended this party as a kid

Indeed, he'd fit right in! Did you see Cesc's Instagram post? Hahahaha!

Completely understand the criticisms people have about him. Oscar's weaknesses became apparent to me the moment he displaced Mata from the no. 10 position. Regardless though, this season he has something like 4 goals and 7 assists in 17 appearances. Yes his touch is inconsistent, his passing can be sloppy at times, his vision is limited, he plays with his head down too much for my liking and sometimes he could be very weak on the ball......but in spite of his weaknesses he has 4 goals and 7 assists in 17 games and this is a player that's still only 23 years old. How much can he really be holding the team back with stats like those? Not Chelsea material? 4 goals and 7 assists isn't Chelsea material? Would people then prefer a more aesthetically pleasing player over one with high productivity?
Oscar isn't the most talented attacking midfielder in the world, but he's still among the top talents in his generation. Yes we probably should look for better options in his position, but right now he most certainly isn't a weak link in the team. It actually makes zero sense to shell out 20M plus to bring in another no. 10 player. Why on earth would we do that? Cesc can play in that position if need be. What we need to be looking to upgrade is Ramires with a Pogba type player. That type of player will help us more than bringing in another attacking midfielder.
