Oscar

Double Pivot role for me is a bad idea in this moment in time.

Against Reading he got pushed off the ball twice, you could tell how frustrated he was, he's going to have a tough time. He's got the quality but it's going to take a lot of mentality to pull through for him, i believe he can do it though.

That's why i think it's best for him to play as CAM, so he has less reliability and more creative freedom.

But Mata has been so much more effective as a CM, (...) i would say Mata is a CM, but everyone has their own thoughts.

The first part of your post is true, but the second part isn't.

Yes, last year he was more effective when he was playing in the middle of the park. But does it make him a CM ? Not necessarily. We have to see the bigger picture and ask ourselves "why did he was more effective in a CM role than at a winger role ?"

First of all, we have to keep in mind one fact : last year, he was the only player, at our disposal, who was able to create thing, to build the game. This fact could be very deceiving on our perception of him, deceiving on his stats. Indeed, in term of creativity/technical, he was the big fish in the small pond ; it could have make him look better than he was. I mean, if had a good amount of assists, this is also due to the fact that he had to do more than his normal job, since he was the only one able to make assists on a regular basis.

So, despite not being his role, he was the player we were relying on the make things happen, to build the game. Thus no wonder he was more effective when playing through the middle : he was having more impact on the game ; while on the wing he was being isolated and couldn't weight on the game building.

So, was he more effectif in a CM role than on the wing ? Yes. Does it make him a CM ? No, it was only a part-time job. And now we have more players in term of creativity, technic (Marin, Hazard, Oscar), we will that he isn't a great CM, that there are better players for this job, and that his real position is on the wing.

Oscar for Lampard or WE RIOT !

'Oscar can play in number of positions. We are blessed with players who can play in multiple postions. He can play in the number 7 role. Again he is not going to be a old fashion winger. He’s not that style of player. He can play in the number 10 role. He can also play in the 6 and 8 role. Where Lampard and Obi play. He isn’t ready to play in the number 6 or 8 role yet, but it’s something he has. The number 10 and 7 he can play in those positions the most.' - Eddie Newton

Saw this on twitter. Will probably be Ramires who we see playing in the Pivot then rather than Oscar for the time being

Is the pregnant lady his wife?

[Gerg 8]

I'm pretty sure the other girl is.

He always has photos of the non-pregnant one on his Instagram; which would lead me to believe that's his wife/girlfriend!
