AndersonBLUE 819 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 He should have been motivated from the start. Fair enough it's his first world cup but that's no excuse to not perform for Chelsea. If he played 'bad' on purpose so that he didn't get picked for fear of injury I will be so pissed. It's a bold claim to make but whatever, it's possible.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I think fabregas coming to take on the creative load will do wonders for his game. Watching him today and it was still clear that he can't provide the creative spark that a traditional 10 will give. It simply isn't a part of his game.

Mourinho should do with him what Simeone did with Koke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 In the first half, most of Brazil attacks originated from Oscar retaining possession, however, he lost the ball quite a bit and was average....It's ok though, because Brazil is already in the next round.

different level 1,056 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It might be a little cynical of me, but I find it annoying how he suddenly found some form after spending months doing nothing in the blue shirt. And it happened after some reports he might be saving himself/concentration for the World Cup. Now imagine he has a great tournament and when he returns to London he starts the season the same way he finished the last one. I'd suggest him to retire from club football so he can save his best displays for his national team. Vybz Kartel and lionsden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara 15,149 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I think he was just okay against Mexico going forward. He was still a beast pressing (it seems like only he carried on the pressing that was so successful for us last year at Confed Cup), but he was an after thought in the attack.And it was an important match for us in the WC... so well, what's the theory now?He was rightfully subbed and I hope he plays much better against Cameroon..

Brazil will destroy Cameroon and everything will be perfect until the next round - then we will go out.Update: rumor has it Paulinho may be leaving the team with either Hernanes or Fernandinho coming in. WIth that, our chances would improve a bit. iseah100 and Styles 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed... Fernandinho is the actual CM of the bunch.Oscar has more potential, but Hernanes is more ready at this time, not to mention in better form. Hernanes should be utilized more by scolari, who is over-conservative with team selections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hernanes should be utilized more by scolari, who is over-conservative with team selections.Hernanes is slow and doesn't press well. He also sucked ass at Inter. So, I dont agree with better form...Fernandinho should be starting with Gustavo, which would allow Oscar to play as a proper 10, but I think Neymar will be affected greatly if that happens...Brazil still have abundance of young cms in their ranks with Fernando being the best of the bunch.

meetdoscar 335 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I think the last goal for brasil vs cameroun shows a true reflection of oscar's talent. Dispossessing mbia and waiting for the return pass to give a clever assist. He is not a purist attacking midfielder but one that generally improves a team and chooses when he is sure he can effect a game rather than trying severally to achieve that effect. He just needs more consistency Barbara, kellzfresh and Mohammed Seif 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,050 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I am the only one thinking he peaked early at Chelsea. Played quite well when he first came, but he has been slacking this year. I know he has played a lot of games, but he just isn't at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroey 2,525 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 L'Equipe quite the player as saying "I had contacts with PSG, it's true but it did not go further. The next season, I will stay at Chelsea." http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/chelsea-s-oscar-confirms-transfer-talks-with-psg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
