Zone 290 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I followed him throughout Brazil's friendlies and the Olympics, the only negative was the missed header in the final. He truely is a gem of a player. I salute the board for this transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Land 331 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It's clear that he's having a problem with the quick tempo,he will have to adapt kind of like how Silva did. Henrique and BLionheart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 He looked nervy when he came on, misplaced a couple of passes. Was probably nervous since we were under pressure to chase the game when he came on. Otherwise, though he did alright. Helped to inject pace and tempo to the attacks.

Helped to inject pace and tempo to the attacks.I agree, was his first game for us at home, probably eager to impress but Raul meireles came on and did similar, but oscar impressed in the last 20 mins. A few more weeks, and when he gets integrated into this team it really will be a site to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ay 66 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 A month to claim a starting spot seems about right. He hasn't had the benefit of a full per-season with the team. He looked uncertain or indecisive at times in possession. I think he'd be great pivot player. If we start playing a more possession based game, he wouldn't need to worry too much of being a midfield destroyer. His sleight frame reminds me a bit of busquets. Proves that you don't need to be built like a Vieira or toure to be a good pivot player, as long as you have intelligence and good positional sense. For the latter, I'm sure he will develop tactically over the season. On the former, he strikes me one who has that in spades already judging by his displays in the Olympics and how his former coaches speak of him.

He is the deep lying playmaker type with freedom. Ramires can be the destroyer I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramires can be the destroyer I feel.I think a Romeu-Oscar combo in the pivot might be better. Oscar as a dlp, with Romeu as the anchor. With all due respect to ramires, his passing doesnt seem accurate enough. He also doesn't strike me as someone comfortable in possession like Romeu (who's been trained in the la masia way). Hopefully ramires can improve as a pivot player. If I remember correctly, he used to play that position with brazil and looked pretty decent at it.

Madmax 9,219 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I think RDM did the right thing by bringing him on when he did, we needed a bit of calmness on the ball during that period of the game. Found it a little difficult to get straight into the pace of the game but it was a good sub from the manager, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I thought he was very, very good considering he is 20 years old and had only played about 15 minutes of Premier League football beforehand. He certainly has an eye for a pass and is very quick. Really looked the part when he came on and seemed to be linking up very well with Hazard and Mata. Obviously he will need to bulk up a bit but he is only 20 and he has time to do that but overall he was really good. The Brazilian league is completely different but he adapted to English football quickly yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,938 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The best thing about Oscar is that he isn't afraid to make the risky pass.. He passes forward and into the whole behind the striker... Once your in that position you are dangerous. He does look a little skinny but he is definitely going to be a great player for us... his vision is second to none.. when he was on against Reading along with Mata and Hazard we looked lethal going forward.. was great to watch.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 One thing I really like about Oscar now is his burst of pace. You can just see how quick he accelerates when there is a ball ahead to chase. Showed it against Wigan and produced a really good shot and 1-2 times against Reading too.

Does being a dad make him more mature than someone else?Bloomin hell, my comment only comes from the fact that at the bridge the other day a few people were making comments like 'he's still only a baby' and stuff along those lines when in fact he's married and thus has a degree of responsibility and commitment in his life. That's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar is very mature for his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
