Ze Mario 638 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Ye but fact is that Coutinho hasn't even made the WC squad. He's a good futsal player on a full pitch, but hardly able to sustain more than 50mn of proper intensity in a single game one time per week. Just can't shot as well.Not even remotely close to Oscar's influence in all phases of play. Hopefully, Oscar will get some rest when needed with Willian and Fabregas in contention at his position. But otherwise he's too important to be overlooked. Coutinho is talented but well, will rotate with Lallana and Markovic next season. I'm not sure the comparison makes much sense herecant you describe more when you mention that? Because i just read stamina alone is your only valid point. Cou currently has more technical ability, creativity, and just slightly better dribbling than oscar. Oscar defending skill make him look more balanced player than Cou, but i think a lot manager will cover that issue with his team mates (After all, we know that Oscar is Mou-type players), and defend never be the main attribute for AM. Like i said, cou breating down oscar neck in Brazil NT. As for my concern, i chose Oscar over him because i feel safer watching Chelsea play with AM like Oscar.And coutinho cant shot? In which parallel universe? iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 If Oscar could perform at his best again, we can beat any teams. With Matic, Fabregas, Hazard, Schurrle, Costa around performing Oscar, surely could own any defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Coutinho definitely can't shoot and he's incredibly inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Maybe it's inherent to his style of play, im doubting these up and downs are solely because he is exhausted. He rarely looks in total control with the ball imo, a key quality to operate in the CAM. laura90, stroey, lionsden and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetdoscar 335 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 If a player of oscars class can't make it at chelsea according to some player haters then may be we shouldn't buy young players anymore but fortunately for him the player haters are not the board and the board have decided in the direction of bringing in a couple of young players for stability and longeivity. Some People are so critical of these young player and its not normal. For me I saw positive things he got himself in goal scoring positions about 4 or 5 times but couldn't finish which could be down to match fitness because he is still one of our best finishers. The guy has great future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 433 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 the kid is only 22 and yes he is inconstant but he has shown some brilliant stuff. Now the world cup is out of the way and him being fully fit hopefully he can show us what he can do week in week out. People seem to forget how good he was at the start of last season.

The guy has great future.He has to perform this season though, I don't really care what he does during preseason as long as he performs during the season. He needs to show consistency, we are one of the best clubs in the world we can't have our #10 not be consistent. I really hope he can have a great season this year, I really like him but he has to prove himself. If he doesn't perform we should be looking for a replacement but it's too early to talk about now. petre.ispirescu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the most clumsy AM's I have seen in a while. laura90 and Vybz Kartel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea? 892 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yep, agree. After returning from 4th August, it has been 7 days. Can't believe, he is that s***. Let's sell him. We need a ready fit world class player who could do the job after 7 days of training only. That's the standard we set for every player. Let's sign another player.you know that's not why people are complaining about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 you know that's not why people are complaining about him. I'm trying to be sarcastic there. Give him time he just got back training for barely 7 days at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
