Nice article in the previous page. The fact that all our best games this season (tottenham, arsenal, juve first half, norwich, manutd before torres red card) came with both mata and oscar rotating positions in the middle, with oscar there most of the time, proves that there is some truth to that article. Both oscar or mata in the center have their risks. PROBLEM When oscar plays centrally, he presses and we win back the ball better, but that means mata in the wing and we are punished on the flanks since mata doesn't really press. Once mata plays center, we are dominated through the middle but safe on the flanks. SOLUTION So when we come up against teams that use wing play, play mata in the middle and moses on the flanks and oscar on the bench. When we come up against teams that play through the middle then use oscar in the middle and mata on the flanks. A funny fact is Once oscar plays in the center, our formation becomes like the 4-3-3 we all want when we defend. Mikel ramires Oscar Mata. Hazard Ba Compared to this Mikel ramires Oscar Mata Hazard Ba
