Oscar

Now that was some awful football from Oscar. He is not showing that he is worth #10 spot. In fact, atm he doesn't even deserve to be on the bench.

agreed with Oscar being subbed but I would have kept Willian on ,,unless he got an injury

he was injured since the 9th minute. mourinho said so

Pity he was injured. Would have been much easier for us with him pressing high on the first half. A very good move to bring on Ramires as he could carry and press the same way as Oscar.

That would explain Oscar losing challenges so easily today. Even when he doesn't play well in a game, he usually puts himself about and don't get beaten often in challenges but that wasn't the case today and his poor tackle at the end of first half was very un-Oscar.

Should have realised when Barry was pressing at him and he did nothing...

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Probably didn't help that he got booked so early either

was about to say he could lost his place in brazil and i hate to watch coutinho instead him. but read about his injury, well that explained a lot

Hope it was not a serious injury. I didn't watch the match but my friends wanted to hang oscar in the first half

Well considering we didn't know Oscar had an injury then, he was pretty frustrating to watch especially because he kept on losing challenges so easily and did nothing of note going forward.

I don't believe every word Mourinho says.

Oscar's been awful for a while now.

That explains why they complained he couldn't keep the ball to save his life

You can fault him for his offensive contribution but not so with his defensive work really.

[Barbara 15,149]

What happened to his father? Did I miss out on something?

died when he was 2 or 3.

[bababoom 4,478]

Been awful the last few months, I lost count the amount of times he lost the ball today.

You can say he's tired but he did miss the two games against Man City so i'm not buying it.

On current form he should be no where near that first eleven.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He's played 117 games (99 for Chelsea) since he signed for us. I think the boy may be a wee bit tired, personally.

[Blue Armour 4,323]

Injured, and playing with pain from the 9th minute. No point in analyzing today's performance.

don't worry about it. He's nowhere near to losing his spot at Brazil's starting eleven. The boy is burnt out, given the insane amount of matches he's played in the last 20 months, it's understandable, especially when you look at him and can't see a very strong guy.

I think he should be benched a few times... we'll need him at his best at the end of the season, especially around April. We have depth, we can play Luiz alongside Matic and have either Lamps or Ramires (kill me) in the AM, but I think we should be resting Oscar now... I'm sure he'd understand if Mourinho did that.
