BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Jose does not have any issues with Mata,the only reason why the Spaniard is on the bench is because of Oscar.So there is no need to worry about all these stupid news about Jose having problems with Mata.We have two world class players fighting for the number 10 role and at the moment Oscar is coming out on top.simple as that.

Barbara 15,149 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 bossed our midfield both in the second and final thirds. Still has to improve his passing accuracy (25% or 12 failed passes is a bit too much). Two key passes, one goal, many (5) completed long passes transitioning the ball from the second to the final third. That's what you expect from a #10. He will improve, I have no doubts of that, and he's what's saving us now that both Hazard and Mata are under-performing. André is also playing really well for us, creating chances, producing in the attack midfield.Let's hope his good form carries on and he continues his improvement curve.No doubts though the boy was made to play UCL. If only we started making his goals count Sidzeret 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Oscar & more Oscar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Fantastic form, no wonder Mata is benched..For some reason, he reminds me of Thomas MullerInteresting; I can definitely see why you say that. There are quite a few similarities, the biggest being that they are both exteremely smart and hard-working players. I think Oscar has the better technical skills and is more of a midfielder, while Muller is more of a support striker.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Oscar could be probably play as a SS too, his limits are endless.In fact he can probably turn water into wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Definitely. Oscar, Hazard and Schurrle can play SS. We have a very supple and versatile set of attacking midfielders along with Mata, KDB and Willian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 What I have been noticing lately - especially in our last game - is that Oscar seems to be getting even more pacey. Benitez said he played Oscar out wide last season because of his speed and his ability on "1 v 1!" situations.I mean he's no Hazard who is hands down the quickest player in the Premier League but he's pretty quick. semiller1313 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman2610 1,417 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 continues to prove to be my fav. player in the team and on the form he is on.. can see him continuing to blossom!

Pizy 18,909 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I think Mata will 100% be sold next summer if Jose proves that he can win the title or come close without regularly playing him in his first XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Mourinho In this moment, Oscar is my No. 10 and, if somebody tells me that Oscar is not Chelsea’s best player since the beginning of the season, I’d have to disagree. These are football issues.”When asked whether Mata must dislodge Brazil international Oscar at present, Mourinho said: “Yes.”He added: “They can [play together], when he adapts to it. But I’m not ready to play Oscar following full-backs, because he plays in that position for the country with more talented players than anyone else in the world in that position. I want to build with Oscar as my No. 10. I want the other two players, from the side, to adapt to that reality and learn now to do things that they were not ready to do before.”Excellent. Mourinho knows. semiller1313 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something he's yet to do... Or better, that with him in the team - not as the main man if we must, but just a one of the main men - that we can start a competition being really favorite. Like ManUtd, Barça, RM, Bayern, Dortmund all start their national leagues as fave to the titles and the last four also fave to the UCL. I'm happy either way. Mata or no Mata, Oscar or no Oscar. If we really start competitions with that status, I'll be a happier fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabHazard 655 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 i think mata can step up his performance and adapt to the winger's role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Oscar needs more runners on the flanks if he is to flourish, just like how brazil plays. Neymar hugs the flanks, hazard should emulate him and shurrle > hulk.The only problem is if lampard can provide the energy paulinho brings to the midfield and we're set for total brazilian football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
