Oscar

[manpe 10,861]

With those guys it would be a crime to give them strict positions. On paper one or the other will play a certain position, but realistically they will be everywhere. And once they gain total understanding between each other, it will be monstrous. There is also a trend going on where you put two wingers on one side, like Brazil did and like we did with Marin and Malouda. Imagine Mata, Cole, Hazard and/or Oscar combining on one flank with full understanding, instead of staying miles apart from each other in their strict positions. It could prove really effective.

I can already imagine Hazard and Mata both making runs on the left with Oscar feeding them a bit deeper from the middle. And then Hazard and Oscar making runs on the right with Mata feeding them. Defenders would know shit what to do. So it doesn't really matter where you place those 3 on paper, the real question is will Oscar play in the attacking 3 or double pivot, the latter of which is more restricted.

one of the best posts Ive read recently.. give them the licence to interchange and they have the skill and intelligence to do it well.

but can we implement it?

why not ???? it seems an obvious alternative to a rigid formation

[Tomo 21,733]

Now we are worrying about having too much creativity

What a difference from a year ago.

[Beirut_Blues 306]

Manpe's post is sexy.... i hope it can be implemented.

I don't remember a team with so much guys that'd rather pass than score be successful. Even barca usually had Pedro or Villa trying to score along with Messi. Seems only FT9 will be our only goal scorer unless Eden is told to be more goal oriented. But a front line of those 3 for the future is dreamy for me cause I admire Barca style of play so much.

Lampard has consistently scored 20 + from mid field ... why shoulldnt Oscar ..Hazard or Mata get goals,,..

Playing for brazil at the moment. Game just started

[manpe 10,861]

Playing very high up and central this time

[Leif 6,006]

Everything on the pitch seems to slow down when he gets on the ball today - but in a good way. He's having less influence on the game than usual though. He does indeed seem better a bit deeper where he can collect the ball.

[Pizy 18,368]

They're showing commercials during this Brazil game here in the US.

WTF!!!?

[themightyblue 443]

Oscar will only be good for us if we get some movement from our other forwards. Luckily I think we'll be good at it next year.

He's played some great diagonals so far

Yeah, he's a bit isolated there. But whenever he gets the ball, he does well with it.

He's gone deeper right again it seems. Guess he's just roaming around. And it's annoying that the commentators still say that he cost 25 million pounds.

[Leif 6,006]

Oh for fuck sake. Why are commentators and reporters in this country always so shit? Referring to Oscar, the commentator says "Just cost Chelsea £25million". ffs.

I'm pretty sure we have paid 10million EUROS, and will eventually pay another 15 million EUROS on top of that.

[themightyblue 443]

Not been his best game
