RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 No-one said that.Your point was 'something to complain about'. No-one's complaining he scored.. But you have to look at the bigger picture.Okay, but maybe it is just me then who wanted to look on the positive side. Oscar scoring has enough to cover all of his 'negative' things (if there any) he did on the rest of his game, as 2 goals was a big contribution in my opinion.It's as if someone has did 90% and people closed their eyes on that, and rather bitching about 10% he did not do. Yup, it's up to each other perspective I guess zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Weren't you one of the biggest criticizers of Oscar before and didn't you also say you were done with him? Or am I confusing you with somebody..You're confusing me... I've defended him way too many times, although I admitted being disappointed many others.

Barbara 15,149 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Barbara is Oscar good looking for you?not really. He looks like a teddy bear, meaning he's cute - but not cute as in good looking, just cute as baby are cute.He's okay... not my type at all. I'd rather Willian physically tbh... or Marta as they're the same person and I can't decide who's the real one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFC888 219 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'm hoping a drought-breaking goal against Newcastle will give Oscar some added confidence, and he definitely thrives on this. I think his uncharacteristically animated celebration after scoring shows just how much he needed a goal to end a tough period of illness and poor performances.Well I'd like to think my hope/prediction here turned out to be pretty close to the mark. If he hadn't scored against Newcastle he probably wouldn't have scored either of those goals against Swansea, especially the second one. Shows just how much some added confidence does for him. So happy!Here's my humble contribution to the thread, nonetheless: Excellent classy finishes on both of the goals and a great performance overall. My motm because he was our best "presser" which for me is what won us the match so easily and helped us dominate. Totally agreed, not only did his relentless pressure and hounding create the Swansea mistake that led to Diego's second goal (our third), but throughout the entire game his pressing was superb.Along with this, I also feel that he deserves MotM because he put in when it mattered most. Yes, his second half wasn't at the level of his first half, but that's pretty academic when your team is winning 4-0 at HT. When the game was up for grabs in the first half, he was the one who stood up and was involved in literally every forward movement as well as making some key tackles and interceptions. Not to mention two magnificent goals! CHOULO19, Muzchap and Barbara 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Kaka is handsome?I've never liked Kaka as a footballer, I think he's one of the most overrated players ever. Not my style of player and I hope Oscar develops into something else (although Kaká was very decisive before his many injuries. I know Oscar said many times Kaká is his idol and he hopes to be like him...Kaka is the antithesis of what I find attractive in a man. He looks so dumb and slow (his face, because he's actually very smart and well educated), I feel like every time he smiles he'll start drooling. Ugh... please, no more Kaká pictures in my head.Why so many questions though?

It's a great return and long may that trend continue.HOWEVER, is it so wrong not to comment on the frustration of those misplaced passes? It's not something you could've exactly not noticed, even commentary picked up on it.It's a simple observation of the frustration I feel with Oscar. Could be a world beater, but he needs to concentrate harder on games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a world beater, but he needs to concentrate harder on games.He misplaced a total of 11 passes throughout the whole match. Six in the first and five in the second. He had 84% pass completion (not 81%) according Squawka, so what exactly you and the pundits (that are always so spot on anyway) are talking about. What crime is it that a player didn't complete 11 of his passes?edit: though I do agree he's sloppy sometimes out of lack of concentration Dy-lan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just today, previous games this season his anonymity has been an issue.I may seem like a hater here, but I'm far from it. Oscar is a very good player, but his concentration must be worked on and his influence has to grow. Especially if he wants to play in these bigger games.

What crime is it that a player didn't complete 11 of his passes?edit: though I do agree he's sloppy sometimes out of lack of concentrationI dont want to speak for the poster you quoted, but I may be able to shed light on the topic.First off I want to say I love Oscar and dont consider myself a critic of his, as he's one of the players we have that gives his all and shows fight no matter the circumstance. That goes a long way in my book. But I can also agree to some degree with the faction of fans that consider him fairly frustrating at times. The reason his misplaced passes (whether its 5 or 11 in a match) drive ppl mad at times is because they are usually relatively "simple" passes to make (for a player of his quality) and often come during a potentially good attack build up.Today while watching the match I observed a few Chelsea fans berate and complain about his passes despite him scoring twice and pressing like a mad man. They basically told me the same thing I outlined above, they get frustrated mostly at the timing of his misplaced passes and the nature of them (i.e he's not misplacing potential defensive splitting balls).
