Oscar

[Madmax 9,219]

Really pleased with and for him tonight. Looked like he had put the other day behind him (in as much as you can put such a thing behind you so quickly), gave it his all and dragged Brazil forward. Good performance all in all. Hopefully he'll go away now and get a nice little rest to further clear his mind and come back fresh and eager to do well for us. Wish we have a big season from him.

Amazing game he's having. He just needs to trust his talent and play more freely.

[Barbara 15,149]

I think having a good match today was one of the positive answers we could have.

I didn't know if he'd be able to recover mentally from the 1x7, but it seemed like he put it behind him and tried to play his best. It's a big blow in a player's confidence to play in your house, in a WC like that and he's young - it's unpredictable how the players deal with it, but it seems like he dealt well at first. Let's see how he comes back to us.

If Oscar can be more consistent he's going to be a great player for us, so I'll keep holding onto hope for as long as I can, but I think he has to give more solid answers this season.

He was that good? And what about Willian and Ramires?

Played ok, but nothing special IMO.

Were you guys watching the same game? He was terrible.

that suggests you know NOTHING

[Barbara 15,149]

I stand by my point. He's been the only good player for us today.

He linked up well, created, passed well, presented himself in the final third.

The problem is when you link up with Jo, Ramires and Hulk... that's not his fault.

*I* am the one who doesn't know which match you guys watched. It wasn't brilliant but it was the kind of answer that gives me hope that 1x7 didn't completely destroy him.

But to each their own...

[Dion 2,476]

I think he did as good as one could expect when you're linking up with Jo, Ramires and Hulk in a team that just lost by 3-0 and 7-1. I remember some good passes and crosses, didn't shy away from the game and was by far the best brazilian player on the pitch.

[zolayes 14,489]

the Fink Tank in The Sunday Times had Oscar rated in the top 10 players in the whole comp

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Did really well today along with Willian.I really hope that both of them can perform next season consistently the way they have played today.

[zolayes 14,489]

Second only behind Mascareno in tackles made

[Thendo 1,088]

Only Brazilian who actually played fairly well today. Was great to see him setting up others and him creating attacks on his own, being the creative link in Brazil. Here's to him keeping this form for the PL season!

[Waterfall 893]

Only shame is he plays with Torres at Chelsea and with Fred/Jo at Brazil.

I wasn't able to watch this game. Just checked the stats and saw that whoscored gave him a rating of 5.7/10 for the game and, according to them, apparently he made a error leading to a goal.

Is that true? Did Oscar play that bad?

[The only place to be 11,313]

He was better than he has been, but I'd like to see him with a proper striker ahead of him to link up with and create some space for him. Showed a real willingness to get on the ball though which suggests he wasn't destroyed by the Germany result.

NO ,,, those ratings bear no relation to the game

whoscored is on the same drugs as Luiz has been today... Luiz assisted Mata-squee Blind, and made a lot of mistakes and he's slightly worse than Oscar?

Paulinho was awful, Jo was incredibly terrible, I swear this chart is as bizarre as it gets.

edit: he didn't make a mistake that led to a goal as far as I can remember. It was Silva, Luiz and maybe Luiz again. He was dispossessed (with a tackle) before the third, in our attacking half and I'm not even sure he wasn't fouled. They CANT blame that on him.
