Oscar

[didierforever 7,349]

You still didn't get it, did you?

I said take him from the score sheet, not the game, come on, there's no simpler English than that. I'm saying he influenced the match directly. Can you understand that? Can you process that level of information? We scored two goals - he scored one and assisted the other. Do you understand it? Should I have to print screen the scoreline with his name under the goal and some stats site with his assist? Tell me what you need to understand this very basic info I'm talking about: take him away from the score sheet, it's 0x0. I didn't say IF he didn't score, IF he wasn't there, IF he missed the sitter, IF he didn't start the game, IF he was subbed off. I just said his contributions made our score. I thought that was a fact, but I might need to go back to school and learn what fact is.

If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have won.

this was your first statement. reading it in isolation i can come to just one conclusion.

your second statement of taking oscar away might be simple english but is just stupid though in literal sense its right (if thats what you want to hear).

whatever, dude. The only case the term stupid can be used in this discussion is towards me... because that's what I am if I'm willing to discuss anything this with you.

They're all spoil idiots. Again, name a better young AM in the League having a better season than Oscar. He isn't just padding his stats either in blowout victories either. So many of his contributions have been consistently crucial. Take a look at our previous games in the League this season and take note of the sheer number of opening goals he's either scored or assisted.

Sure his all round game isn't as polished as Hazard's but Eden is a generational talent. Oscar will continue to improve with more experience and as he develops physically.

That's easy. Eriksen, Coutinho,sterling and Barkley. Not only have they been better this season but they are also significantly better no 10 than the "shape/balance keeper" in the same age bracket. Now if we are talking 24 and older, there's a long list of them.

not coutinho but do agree with the other 3. barkley is a selfish cunt though.

Barkley has been fucking wank this season ffs (and this is coming from a huge fan), of all players to mention. Grass is greener on the other side syndrome. Eriksen is the only debatable one and Oscar has more goals +assists than him this season. Sterling isn't an AM.

I just saw a £60m player put in a worse performance than any Oscar has had in his 3 seasons here. Wonder if Utd fans will slag him off too.

I can't believe all the bitching is happening in this thread.

Oscar had a bad game, but at least he was able to help the team win the game with an important goal and assist.

We should be able to accommodate his inconsistencies if he contributes semi-regularly like he has been doing. 11 combined goals/assists so far is nothing to be ashamed of.

What we can't accommodate is Willian's combined total of fucking 2. I have been repeating this stat for weeks, and he still hasn't added to it lol.

Oscar didn't have a bad game, and its also clear Mourinho don't see Willian as a player to score goals.

Chelsea are not good enough to have a player occupy an attacking position and not contribute anything in attack.

Even Willian said himself, Mou wants him to shoot - and obviously score - more.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I remember, I discussed about how Oscar will react after the disappointing WC with some Brazilians member here.

And since the preseason and the beginning of season until he signed the extension, he is playing good. As far as I could remember, not many negative post in this thread during that period. Also, we're still unbeatable until that time. Yes, it might because of Cahill and Mikel distraction a bit this thread is 'more quiet', but I thought Oscar doing okay.

Right after he signed contract, Oscar be benched, and then come the 'ill' period. My suspicion is that the negative comments come starting from that period. And then someone just come out with conclusion that Oscar is shit and useless all this season, after the match yesterday.

From where that conclusion comes from actually?

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.

I hope so, too.

IMO we are lacing that cutting edge in offense a bit. We showed it in the beginning of the season, but are now lacking goals. Only Costa has scored doulbe figueres so far. Real, Bayern have goals in all of their attacking midfielders. The reason why in modern football it changed from 2 wingers and 2 box to box midfielders to 3 of those is that they can share the creating and finishing between them, but we depend on Hazard to produce too much. IMO Oscar is more likely to ´be found in scoring positions than willian, so great if he continues his scoring form to make our team more balanced.

Lack of confidence makes a huge difference in some of our players and Oscar is surely one of them. Especially after the result at Spurs one can explain our 1st half vs Newcastle.

Yep, and I think it's an area of his game that will improve with more experience. Sometimes you have to go through a bad run of form to prove to yourself that you are good enough to come out the other side of it. Even when he had those bad couple of games recently, he was still creating assists and scoring opportunities for himself also, he was just sending them off target or they were getting blocked.

He is always going to have the class, and he's always going to be creating opportunities for himself and his teammates, it's just a matter of him remaining positive even if he goes through a tough period where he can't find the back of the net himself.
