robsblubot 3,595 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Indeed he does, I think we can all agree on that. I'm not for one minute excusing his performance, I'm just saying that through either fatigue, lack of workrate, an instruction from the manager, or a combination of these, Oscar wasn't playing as far forward as usual against City.Easily verifiable: if he keeps on starting games the manager is happy with what he's doing which is obviously what has been instructed. Same with the new deal - money is the clearest evidence we can use in football. Some ppl ignore it but I pay attention to it. Both pay and valuation.The fact he got a new deal recently means he's here for the long haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I hope Willian takes his position.Going into this final part of the season this is what JM will be looking at, for me. Who can play that 10 role and bring the utmost confidence to this team playing there.Oscar is having a tough time for me, whilst Willian hasn't been pulling up trees.......For me Mourinho has a tough choice and Willian edges it. didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both disappear in way too many games, but Oscar at least offers goals and assists whereas Willian offers literally nothing to our attack... kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,897 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Would anyone be truly upset if we cashed in on Oscar for big money (£35m +) and replaced him with a genuine, creative, natural #10? Do you think we have enough hard working, industrious players in the team already that we can afford a more attack minded player there?It's tough for me. I really, really like Oscar and know he's capable of so much more but how long is it going to take? He's got the odd fantastic match in him but goes missing far too often for a player in such an important position for a top team. The problem (if you can call it that) with potentially getting rid of him is that we have Cesc in the middle of the pitch who, let's be honest, isn't the quickest or most athletic. If we had a prototypical #10 in place of Oscar it could leave Cesc too exposed and as we've seen quite a few times this season, athletic or pacey players can run by him quite easily. He benefits from Oscar harassing and pressing players defensively and allowing him more space offensively.Would we be a worse side if we replaced Oscar with say an Eriksen or Mata ( ) type? I sort of think José would feel we would be and hence Oscar won't be sold any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
