Oscar

[CHOULO19 24,332]

That was a penalty plus a red. Bad refereeing decision.

Right!

He's a MONSTER. Oscar and Mourinho are like the perfect pair, exactly the player Mou loves, and exactly the manager Oscar needed to be a world class player.

I liked Oscar since he first came but this season with that badass attitude on the pitch when he does absolute everything, he's becoming my favourite.

I cant be more satisfied right now about our trio of him, Willian and Hazard. Fit together so well.

It's one thing to flop and another to dive. Oscar flopped, he went looking for it and exaggerated the contact that he had with the goalkeeper. Divers, like Ashley Young, don't even get touched at times and go down. It's a big difference for me...

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Just realize he is 22 and apparently his wife is expecting their 1st child, wow I always thought he was like 18 turning 19 or something.

A beast simply a beast. Willian and Hazard are key as well but they can go missing, especially Hazard but Oscar is Chelsea 's heart now. No matter the circumstances, he's always involved and fighting. Just a beast. <br /><br />That said though, that attempt to cheat Southampton was pathetic. Can't be doing that. A little dive once in a while is ok cause sometimes you have to to even get a call but to dive just the get someone sent off is the straight up cheating in my book. Oscar is better than that.

I have a question?

I wasnt on these boards in 2012, during the Champs league run, however were the people on this board as critical to Drogba and his diving as well???

Loving the white-knight faggotry going on.. if a player feigns a foul in the box and gets a penalty he gets praised for being clever.

In this case it was ridiculous because he was 1on1 and could've easily skipped the goalie and score. He had made up his mind to go down, a brainfart.

Its not really that ridiculous, because if he had gotten the pk and the red card, it would be 10 v 11 with their second choice keeper.....

Exactly,it was 0-0.I bet no would be bitching about it if the result was 0-1 to us with a penalty

True and if he hadn't gone down we'd have scored. Anyway, he was great, no need to focus on this incident.

[blu35_army 551]

you can't accept that dive when we still 0-0. imagine we draw or lose at this game,,it's must be very upset for him can't converted this chance to a goal...

I think mourinho explained it better than anyone - after he's talked to Oscar himself.

Oscar tried to force a penalty (I don't think he was trying to force a red, or maybe he was, who knows?) because the contact was expected to happen and many reminded that Howard was sent off last week for just the same. But Davis is experienced, smelled the Brazilian mischievousness (and lack of fair play) a mile away and was prepared to deny Oscar the bait.

I hate that kind of reasoning. If you have a chance to score a goal, you do everything in your power to do it. A penalty doesn't equal to a goal, many have been wasted everywhere and if he planned to force the goalie to get a red card, then it's all worse.

He's a good kid, I think he flopped as someone explained, rather than dived, it doesn't change the fact I was disappointed and secondhand embarrassed by such behavior.

Now that I've got that out of the way.... he's magnificent, fantastic and whatnot. I think the partnership between Oscar/Willian/Hazard is the future. They compliment each other and they're starting to understand each other as well - as chemistry is very much important between AMs. Am I the only one getting more and more excited by the minute with the prospects here?

The balance he brings is really important and I'm happy he's contributing in the attack again

There is no need for him to try to cheat ! Play football as it should be played. Fairness is the name of this game.

[Special Juan 28,132]

What is more surprising is that Oscar just didn't carry on and score.
