Oscar

[Blue Armour 4,278]

On a pureky tactical level, Oscar is the trigger to our high pressing game, the 5-0 against Swansea is exactly how Jose plans things to be, he sais it himself after that interview, we always play as good, but scoring on your first, second, third then fourth attemot is ridiculous, you can't expect that every game and you just aim to recover the ball as high, quick and much as you can to create superiority in the opponent's area and killing games as soon as possible.

Now go back and watch that game and moqt of our home games of the first part of the season, Oscar is not just the guy who triggers the pressing due to his good tackling & tracking skills, but when we recover the ball, he is our first solution with Hazard to amorce the counter, this style of play has granted us the 'beautiful' football we were playing as it gave us much of the ball and we were giving the impression of asphyxiating/trashing our opponents.

This is how crucial Emboaba is to our game, when your first asset offensively, aka the guy on which the pressing relies is tired, injured or just out of form, you reasonably lose your edge over the opponent and leave your midfield exposed, and knowing Cesc's poor reacting to pressure, this is what makes Mourinho ask our wingers to drop as deep as they do, hence the impression that we 'leave' the ball ( January to May ), as it sureky would be stupid to try to stick to our game plan without our full strength.

We should be expecting two things, for this fella to stay consistebt/injury clear abd thus live up to his potential, or find a replacement that doesn't reduce the quality of the XI, or alter our tactical plan.

The problem is, this profile is so rare, because Oscar's range of passing and shooting make him the perfect player for our system, now he whether rises to glory, or Jose brings in a strong CM and switches back to 4-3-3 to avoid midfield exposure and be able to play our football ( or bits at least ) even without Oscar.

I know some words are hard to read at first sight but blame apple for the small keyboards :ninja:

Yup.

Brilliant! But I'd recommend turning on auto-correct!

Oscar aiming to beat Eden Hazard to Chelsea Player of the Year award

That's the right attitude. I feel like I've said this for so long but Oscar and Willian really need to step up. If Oscar manages to play at least at the level of the first half of 14/15, and Willian does the same with his form in the second half, it might not be world-class from both but they would be highly, highly valuable.

It would also allow the star players to play at a higher level. I'm counting on Hazard perform at a higher level. He keeps getting better and hasn't hit his ceiling yet, I'm convinced of that. Cesc and Diego only just played their first full season for Chelsea. The growing understanding with their team mates, and hopefully improved fitness, should lead them to play even better. And Matic is no youngster, but he's still a rookie in the DM role. A player like Busquets has played their from the start, he doesn't know any other way of playing. Matic is still mastering the role and the DM role is a role of experience anyway. He should be getting better and better as well and find that consistency.

Same goes for Azpi. And Courtois has everything it takes to become the next Buffon. What he's been doing at such a young age is simply astonishing.

Really looking forward to next season.

You know, I watch last season matches and highlights to get through preseason and Oscar is just sex. I find myself watching Chelsea highlights but jizzing all over the place whenever during Oscar moments. That QPR goal, assist against United, sexy ass finishes against Swansea, just absolute fuckin quality, absolute magic!

I'm hoping, I'm praying he has a good season because I really really want to see him continue at Chelsea. Another mediocre season and he will definitely be relegated to the bench or sold. Dude has potential to score 10-15 goals if he performs consistently throughout the season. I'm excited about Oscar more than anything this season, I really really hope we finally see the best and most consistent Oscar this season. I love the dude and really want to see him do well here.

Edit - seriously look at that fukin goal, just look at that fuckin finish, ugh, a fuckin monster, 100 lb BEAST! Who the fuck can do that?? I'm fanboying hard right now haha.

He's so good in the first half of every season. He'll actually have a shot at our player of the season if he knew how to maintain that level after January.

If he kept up his performances all year he could have beat him last year. Hope he can do it, lord knows he has the talent for it.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Tbf he knows he is probably on his last chance at Chelsea so this season he will try much harder and I hope he succeeds and we get the reward. Either he will turn his career around and become one of our most important player or he could be off in Jan like Schurrle, Mata and Kevin.

[LAM09 6,744]

If he does stay put; I hope the summer off rejuvenates him. He needs to return to the level he was at early on in his Chelsea career.

[Unionjack 7,531]

I do really love the lad. He has flashs of sheer brilliance. The work he puts in upfield defending I think is the reason Mou heeps him on.

But you must agree we do need him to give more offensively. He just doesnt do a number 10 job (and I dont think Willian can neither)

I would be over the moon if he went out this year and really did everyones heads in. But we have been saying the same thing each season now and I dont know how much longer we should give him.

But we will be shouting him on as always so lets see what the lad can do.

[LondonsFinest 692]

His attitude really deserves plaudits. He wants to drop a great season and I'm hoping for it. If he keeps his consistency, he'd be great!

Jose mourinho punished oscar zouma and dave by making them play the full 90

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Yup. Still shite.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Jose mourinho punished oscar zouma and dave by making them play the full 90

He punished the latter two by making them play with Begovic.

Oscar got a good run out. Not good, but tried.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Oscar to Juve for 30m, Gotze to Chelsea for 40m, Vidal to Bayern for 40m. Everyone happy...

then career mode off

[illmatic 901]

I really, really try very hard to have hope on him, but then I see a game of him and that hope goes down.

I applaud his great attitude, his good intention to be better, but this guy is not enough for be the CAM of a team like us.
