Popular Post! Gilvorak 3,734 Posted June 1, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted June 1, 2013 This might sound insane but I prefer Oscar centrally to Mata.Mata plays more like a devastating forward minded player there and doesn't even attempt to defend while Oscar is the superior midfielder. Remember those two games against Arsenal/Juve early on where Oscar harrassed Pirlo/Arteta for 90 minutes and we actually averaged more possession in both games?In my opinion, our best form this season came when Mata was deployed out wide.....before our annual winter meltdown & managerial sacking of course. kellzfresh, Rmpr, laura90 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 He is doing well vs England, one of best players on pitch.He wears #11, that means that Neymar will from now on (and probably for ever) have #10 shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Why the hell is he still playing as a winger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_President 404 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 For me, he was Brazil's best player until they took him off. Why did the fans boo when he left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 For me, he was Brazil's best player until they took him off. Why did the fans boo when he left?Unhappy with Scolari taking him off.Oscar had a problem with his left ankle a couple of days ago in training. So, Scolari was probably right to take him off when he did IMO. And after all, it was on a friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 For me, he was Brazil's best player until they took him off. Why did the fans boo when he left?They were booing Scolari for being an idiot and taking Oscar off and not Hulk. Oscar was our only CAM and was having a great game and even though he had a slight ankle injury two days ago while training, he was showing no signs of fatigue nor pain. Big Phill brain farted and tried to have a trio of wingers, with Hulk - Neymar - Lucas! I am worried Oscar and Neymar decided to change shirt numbers for good and not just for this particular game. Would love for Oscar to be the real #10 in te WC 2014... BlueLion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could still play Mata centrally against weaker teams, or when we play at the Bridge. I've said many times Robbie found our best 11 at that time.

Pizy 18,902 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Looked classier than Neymar once more. Best player on the pitch while he was on.How fucking awful was Hulk, though? Dodged a bullet there. No composure on the ball or impact on the game at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuelCFC 75 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Oscar was my stand out performer on the night, it seems every Brazilian game I watch he's their most reliable player, even more so than the so-claimed glorious Neymar, who once again, having watched him live against Russia, disappointed me. Scolari's decision to substitute Oscar bemused me, even in a friendly, as I guess every fan in the whole stadium was shown by their reaction. I would love to see him play more centrally for Chelsea, by far his most efficient position, even if it means playing Mata out wide in the occasional game.

However, we will probably see him in that role more next season with Schurrle on his way here combined with other buys we may make this summer.

Land 331 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 "Somethings will have to be worked out.

Styles 9,790 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Another solid performance for his country. I don't think I've seen him play badly for Brazil and I've been watching him play for the national team since the Olympics.I am worried Oscar and Neymar decided to change shirt numbers for good and not just for this particular game. Would love for Oscar to be the real #10 in te WC 2014...Chelsea and Brazil's number 11 has a nice ring to it. The O11 brand is about to take off, don't get left behind fellas.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Was Brazil's best attacking player by far, which might not have been saying much since Neymar and Hulk were kinda shitting the bed, and Fred got no service.I'd say the best Brazil player was Luiz Gustavo. brazil midfield went to shit after he left at halftime. I cant believe he does not play at bayern when his positioning as a DM always looks pretty good. We should take a punt on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
