He might be slight in size, but defensively I've seen him make more well-timed aggressive tackles than any other player not in the back 4 or CDM spot.

He is a pretty good tackler but you can't always tackle. You have to use your body in phsyical tussles as well. Same with using your body to shield the ball.

And I wasn't merely referring to strength but also his stamina (tires in the second half of the season). He needs to be able to run full season as that's one of his few strengths as a player. And if he's box to box (he said so himself), he needs to be able to cover ground quicker a la Arturo Vidal.

I will never understand what Chelsea coaches see in Oscar.Oscar is the reason why KDB,Mata and Cesc were benched and let´s be honest,alls of the three player named players are million times more useful than Oscar is,but still Oscar is playing and playing one match after on another. I do not get it.

That is most likely the reason why Conte lets him play.He was the Juventus manager at that time ...

Typical Oscar performance: run around like a headless chicken and contribute absolutely nothing. Outplayed by every single Liverpool midfielder? Would he make their team? Of course not.

But Conte's a fan so heyho. Have to watch this joke for another year.

Oh dear...

Offers nothing at all. If Conte just wants players to run; we're fucked against anyone with a bit if quality.

[Beigl 1,387]

The only reason he plays every game is that Conte believes is he is our own version of Giacherini.

Needs to get benched as fast as possible, he gets outplayed by almost every half decent centre midfielder in the Premier League for years, yet gets away with it. Every Chelsea manager sees something special in him which no fan understands at all. I mean what has he done in his four years at the club apart from scoring a double against Buffon and a good run of games in autumn 2013? Oh yes those goals against third league clubs, how could I forgot them?

I don't even care who plays on Tuesday night instead of him, but if he makes the starting XI our midfield will be overrun again and offering NO support for our attackers.

This guy is fucking rubbish.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Expect this clown to continue to get games and one half decent performance against a rubbish team will be used as justification of his role in the team. It's the Oscar way.

The fact that Conte has fallen for this fraud really has set the alarm bells ringing. He's not the manager I hoped he was which is a real shame.

There is that but it tells you a lot that he tweeted that shortly after we lost the game last night. It's like that didn't even matter!

Hope the lad has a very good game tonight against Pool, not his biggest fan but I'm liking the newly reformed b2b Oscar.

Just when I was praising him/liking him abit at the start of this season and he puts up a gutless performance against Pool....

 

Just hope Conte realises very soon that this guy shouldn't be anywhere near our starting eleven, bench/squad player at best IMO.

Oscar stuck between CM and ACM. He definitely upgrades with Conte but he's not a good match with Matic because both going too forward and going back to deep.

[Beepu 1,714]

Yeah.... I used to be an Oscar apologetic, but I'm sick of him now.

[Rekin 835]

The problem with Oscar, in my opinion, is that due to being slow and not possessing the ability to beat a man, he would need a range of passing at the level of Fabregas to be worth his spot in the starting lineup. Sure, sometimes he plays a killer pass, but he is far to inconsistent at it. When Mata or Fabregas has played, CFC has shown a tendency to score more, but when we rely on the creativity from the likes of Oscar and Matic then our gameplan is to pressure the other team into mistakes, not to score from our own ability (as a team). 

With Matic and Kante, I think we could afford a player with more flair in front of them. Fabregas is not at his best there, so I dont think he is the answer. We would need a tenacious and creative player who can play as either an advanced CM, or a 10. I honestly cant come up with one that would be a good alternative right now. Perhaps the club couldnt either. I am just tired of CFC for the last few seasons forcing mediocre players on the pitch just because we have no alternatives. I am happy with Costa, Bats, Hazard, Kante, Zouma, Luiz, Azpili, Courtois and possibly Alonso, but the rest are either squad players or just inadequate at the level CFC wants to reach.

He sure was quick to tweet his excitement for a team Brazil call up right after that loss. He wants to emulate Lampard and isn't fit to tie Lamp's shoes. He's better fitted for Serie A.
