Jordan Ibe will be better than sterling if given time.... There I said it

Yea most of the good plays actually came when he moved centrally during the match. I'll love to see him play centrally during the big games because he's better at holding balls under pressure from better defenders and midfielders in big teams than oscar. But oscar still gets the smaller games due to creativity.

Done well recently all of a sudden -Scoring opener vs Watford -Setting up opener vs Newcastle with his quick/short corner -Pivotal in setting up the only two goals against Swansea that werent basically Swan OG's, whilst he was on the pitch. Including an amazing solo-run and curving throughball for the 4th. -Assisted game winner vs Liverpool -MOTM, atleast in my mind, vs Aston Villa with an assist for the opener Hope he keeps this up.

It has got to the point where the fans are now suspecting its vangaal tactics. No manutd player is playing well except Fellaini

Fair enough. There could be better quality, but I don't think anyone is available/realistic now

Exactly. He's not perfect but unless there is absolute quality available there's no point in throwing away our 4th goal contributer. His overall performance mostly has to do with an attitude of Oscar to not know how to pass a ball for 45mins in some matches once in a while but he's one of our top scorers and he's found a way to score while playing bad, which is a good trait.

Oscar is annoyingly inconsistent in his passing but he's still important in our pressing style. Tbh if someone like isco, Koke or reus available in the summer then we have a case to get rid of Oscar, but it's not easy to find available players that have his workrate and still have good vision too.

He won't play well in cm in my opinion. But with his pressing and tackling style of play, he would be even better if he was stronger physically.

Anyone who says we should sell him is wrong. He's still 23, plenty of time to improve especially as midfielders tend to get better later in their careers. But we know his weakness and his strengths so far and because of his poor 2nd half to the season last year people are scared it's happening again.

I think oscar plays better when another creator of chances is playing with him. When the onus is on oscar to create, (no fabregas or Mata to take the creative burden) he normally disappoints. This is because his best talent is tackling no matter how we try to beat around the bush. His job is to win the ball for the creative midfielders to create. Luckily for him pressing is a huge part of Mourinho's tactics so he'll always have a place here but I think he should play on the wings and hazard to the center when fabregas isn't playing because he disappoints if he's asked to be the creative player. One good thing he's added to his game though is score or assist when playing shit. But his overall performance in a match has to improve, too much 4/10 performances.

I'm sure it might even improve his dribbling if he plays from the center. He can go either way instead of only to his right and he's strong enough to hold his ball under pressure compared to Oscar who passes it to no body everytime

Man on a mission. I couldn't help but notice that he moved more central when he started beating his marker and taking dangerous shots. Maybe he's showing Jose his skills from the middle??

Our players are playing like they have fixed this match, we can't pass and Courtois has flapped every cross in this match. Only willian gives a shit

Courtois has flapped another cross.... The fuck Oscar is just terrible at passing. Rare to see a midfielder with such poor passing technique. I'm predicting him to score though

Didier and oscar can't complete a pass at the moment.

Oscar has to create, if they park the bus then we have to go over the bus and drogba has to hold the ball up for us in the box

Exactly, you get it. Mourinho makes more money for journalists with his speeches than any other coach. But they jump at him with any opportunity they get, he deserves some level of respect from them or he'll punish them more

Wilshere caught smoking again Lol

Welcome to Chelsea forum

Let's hope he at least creates more chances than ivanovic. Nice to know he won't lie down, cuadrado should earn his place.

Nice analysis, you got it spot on as I also viewed him. He is much more direct than Willian so he's nothing like him in that aspect. He falls down like hazard used to when he first came to the Epl. His first touch is a little bit better than Oscars, and he mostly tries to win a foul under pressure since he isn't very strong. What is your opinion on his decision making? Schurlle level, Willian level, Oscar level or hazard level????

Ramires - Matic Willian - oscar - Hazard Remy Cuadrado can come on in the 2nd half, we'll slowly adapt him to the league. Hard to replace fabregas creativity so hopefully we score early and put ourselves in a good position

No.... We need him against the smaller teams dammit

Hummels has been shit all season in every match I watched him. Dortmund fans have even started complaining about reus performance levels. Klopp should be sacked, even wenger sold his best players and still finished 4th

Mendes: Only a god could have replaced Ferguson at Manchester United... but he's at Chelsea
