Korea 734 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 lol. You clearly don't understand the situation. Mourinho doesn't expect near as much from Oscar than he does towards Hazard...... Actually, Jose did, which allowed Mata being sold to be an easy decision for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Mourinho criticized Hazard too and I'm positive he isn't for sale.Actually I think Mourinho's criticism towards Hazard has harsher than towards Oscar. But that's part of his job and most players have areas for improvement, so criticism is part of the package.I think Mourinho is disappointed with Oscar's mentality though.I think Jose was disappointed, but kind of understood where he was coming from.

Chelsea? 892 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 He's had some good times where he looked very good offensively. Most of the time though he doesn't look that good.I never saw Oscar as a #10. he is made for a 433, but he needs to improve his passing and decision making Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel1980 1,425 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Who needs Pogba and Vidal when we have Oscar? 4-3-3 with Matic-Fabregas-Oscar or maybe even 4-2-3-1 with Matic and Oscar in the pivot and Fabregas as 10. Oscar and Fabregas can switch depending on the team we're against. Barbara and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Madmax 9,219 Posted July 4, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 4, 2014 Honestly, I appreciate his work rate and his tracking back and what have you, but to my mind, for someone in his position, all of that should be an add-on to creativity, incisive passing, dribbling and finishing instead of being his primary attributes. I'm looking for him to be 'silky' and 'nimble' more than 'tenacious'. I get that nobody gets a pass from the tactical side of the game under Mourinho, but he's not much good to Chelsea as the no.10 when he doesn't hurt teams going forward.

He stays back and knows his role/job for the better of brazil, not better of Oscar. kellzfresh and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants Neymar and Hulk to run much of the show. Under Menezes Oscar was truly fantastic. He enjoyed much more freedom and consequently gave far better, effective, rounded performances consistently.

I thought the same as well.Both neymar and hulk don't do much defensively (well neymar presses a lot still). However, if brazil wins, than I guess it was the best option for brazil....

Popular Post! Styles 9,790 Posted July 4, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted July 4, 2014 At this moment in time, Oscar is playing like a defensive-midfielder who has been moved further forward because of injuries.

The Chels 2,502 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yes Oscar has defensive responsibilities but that shouldn't justify being completely useless from an offensive point of view. He very rarely makes the right decision in the opposition half it seems. Very disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee25 1,044 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yes Oscar has defensive responsibilities but that shouldn't justify being completely useless from an offensive point of view. He very rarely makes the right decision in the opposition half it seems. Very disappointing.But how is a 22 yr old, who is still very much developing, ever going to improve on his offensive abilities when he's being overloaded with defensive responsibilities (at both club and national level)? If he's going to improve as a player then he needs to be on the ball all the time. He needs to be given freedom to get into dangerous positions and free to play risky passes. Think Oscar is in real danger of stagnating. kellzfresh, Ainsley Harriott, Barbara and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,897 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Have to say that he's been a massive disappointment in this tournament.He was playing much deeper today and was pretty much invisible. Can't recall him getting involved in the attack more than one or two times. It was pretty obvious that it was a tactical instruction from Scolari but even when he was more advanced in the prior matches he hasn't done much.He needs a long, long rest after the WC. Mata was rested for a long while at the start of the season in his second year with us, wasn't he? That's what Oscar needs. Use Cesc as the #10 and sit Oscar for a couple of weeks.

meetdoscar 335 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 He was one of brasils better players today. To some Oscar may lack creativity, vision, flare but definitely not me because I've seen him give world class passes and score world class goals at his still young age. He is into the semi finals of a world cup as a starter for the brasil national team at age 22(Beat that). Clearly scolari knows what oscar brings to his team. Even Neymar has been shit against chile and columbia infact he was about the worst brasilian player on the pitch for me and it just shows how tough it is when neymar is struggling. Oscar adapts to any situation it seems. Pogba, james rodriguez and Co. Who some chelsea fans wish for because of their percieved flare are out, flare has little or no use at this stage when central defenders are scoring the goals unless its a master stroke. I wish him a successful journey and I hope he becomes a world cup winner at 22. Its just like luiz now luiz is no more in chelsea people are saying he is the best defender in the world while when in chelsea he was shit. Oscar along with neymar will be among the youngest starters or first team players in the semifinals(RESPECT).
