Oscar

[Korea 734]

Like i said before, whenver mata and oscar played together, even though OScar is suppose to be "cam." Mata always shifts in the middle most of the game.....

One should play and the other should sit..

The baby faced assassin was boss again tonight, the 3 lads behind the striker covered and interchanged really well despite the way Schalke pressed in midfield.

"Simply the best !!! Rafael Nadal !!! Congrats everyone for another important victory !!! Come on Chelsea"

well, I'm officially a Oscar fangirl from now on. When fandoms collide and your idol is worshiped by the kid you love, you just let it go.

WTF?

WTF?

[Rmpr 8,977]

I think he did OK today.

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

The potential he is capable of reaching is much more important than trying to shift him and Mata in the same team. If there is an offer more than 35mill for Mata, as painfully it makes me to say, we must consider.

[Sheva. 5,373]

He had another quiet/average game in attack. That type of pass from Lamps to Ba is what i hope to see more of from him, we had this last season from Hazard and Mata and thus didn't have to rely on the counter so much to score goals. But now Mata is off form and nothing close to the level he was, and Hazard is also up and down, so we need him to create more chances.

Off the ball though, can never fault his commitment or tackling ability, it's like we're playing with 3 central mids.

Was that dink over the goalkeeper really offside? It was class.

It was a quiet game, but he still contributed and the team just looks more like a team when he's involved rather than the disjointed mess we had on Saturday. Schalke seemed to focus on him a lot which left more space for Willian which is the benefit of having a fuckload of attacking talent.

I was waiting for a replay, but it never came.

He was the one who started the counter, passing the ball quickly to Willian in that second goal by Eto'o.

He was good today, but he needs to start making more for the attack, creating chances or scoring. He's been quieter than at the beginning of the season.

I was so happy with him trying something new in the City match, even if he missed many passes, he was going for the bold move and I thought it was purposeful on his part, just not sure if by his own initiative or if guided by Mourinho.

The fact at the occasion he came back from HT keeping the same bolder behavior I was led to believe either Mourinho asked it from him or was okay with it, as later in the match when Willian came in bringing instructions from Mourinho, he stopped going for that kind of pass.

Maybe Mourinho asked him to play a more tactical role today, after a bad match against Newcastle - still not as bad as many made it out to be. I wan to see the City!Oscar again, even if he misses half the attempts trying to go for the bolder and unexpected pass. He has the skills, he just need to start doing it more often.

[Special Juan 28,132]

Looked ok albeit a little leggy but that can be excused.

Still the top boy for me.

Yep, same.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I thought he was excellent, especially in the first half. His movement and passing were brilliant and defensive work was impeccable. Great to see him bounce back from Newcastle.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

He has zero vision. How many through passes has he played this season?

It's obvious to me he's more of a CM than an AM. Can't believe I'm the only one who sees it.
