Oscar

[Waterfall 893]

Fernando Duarte: Also, a TV Globo reporter eavesdropped on Oscar moaning about Benitez. A hard rain's gonna fall at CFC

Storm is nigh

I have to say I was shocked at not starting with Oscar. When you go into a final you have to play your aces, play the deadly trio and get at the opponents from the off. We were lethargic at times, it just didn't seem as if we knew it was a final (apart from Luiz). Moses was sub-par throughout and it took a goal to be conceded before Benitiz made his move, I can understand Oscar's frustration completely.

Just like Wenger at Bradford City, it was typical over-management by a manager. When you have superior talent, play them, don't fucking try to be so clever.

out of the trio, oscar losses the ball the most. Still love him though, still an amazing talent.

Excellent penalty yesterday. It doesn't get any more 'top corner' than that. It reminded me of Ballack's penalty against Breman a few years ago.

Although I don't like that Hazard has stopped taking penalties since he missed against Nordsjaelland.

In the hustle of all the broken records yesterday, we seem to have forgotten thet Oscar finally got off the mark in the league. Congrats to him! :cfc:

I thought he was superb when he came on

[Mufassir08 2,400]

He has been tremendous in our previous two games.

He can only score 30-40 yard goals, excluding the penalty that is.......

I know, he was great yesterday and he doesnt like to score easy goals, LoL!

Oscar still needs to learn to play against compact teams and to have a better ball control. Nothing major, but he is not familiar with such deffensive and physical teams...

[Land 331]

He only needs to improve in 2 things:first ball control and a bit of knowledge on how to deal with crowded midfields.He's great at everything else.I think he is at the same level as Iniesta back in 2005, you peeps who watched fotball back then know what Im talking about.

Main difference is that Oscar scores those Gerrard/Lampard long shot goals lol .

Yeah, but he is more like young Pirlo and Lampard than Iniesta...

He also needs to learn how to get enough curve on the football so he can bang those close shots in front of the GK.

I don't think finishing is something you can drastically improve on.Most of the youngsters ive seen that cant finish stayed like that for the rest of their careers.Iniesta is one of those cases
