Oscar looked good with long sleeves and gloves

Oscar was better yesterday in the double pivot that he ever was as nb 10 for us.

Hazard - Mata - Moses

--- Oscar - Mikel/Rambo-

seems better

We saw yesterday that playing with Moses gave us more width on the pitch.

Oscar did not play in the pivot yesterday he played central midfield with ramires. I wonder what some people WATCHED!!! He should never be used in the pivot it will limit and kill his ability like mikel( 2nd best player as no. 10 behind messi in under 20 world cup. Look where messi is 6yrs later)

^^^ Amazes me how many people are not aware that Mikel used to play a totally different position and got on his case when he didn't perform in the DM role straight away/like Maka did. Really gripes me!

Back on topic - There's a piece by Redknapp on Sky Sports, and I totally agree with it, he changed the game, works so hard (which I did not expect btw) and really is one of our first names on the team sheet.

For a very little moment, during the fight with Nani, I was afraid both would be sent off and Oscar wouldn't be available against Swans. Luckily...

None of our mids really play as a CDM anymore. Mikel, Lamps, Ramires are play like CMs and take turns going forward. No one player is strictly staying back as a holding player either.

Should Oscar play as a CDM or a holding mid? No def, not. But the way our double pivot works, you can definitely make a case for him. However, we shouldn't just judge based on the last match. Ramires and Oscar pivot will not work against any half decent team. They are great players and can do a job as part of the 2 in the mid but def not together. Ramires is too aggressive and lacks positional discipline. Mikel and Oscar possibly can do a job against weaker teams though.

Def something RDM can pull out if some teams are parking the bus and we have to add width yet not loose our attacking mentality by pushing Oscar to CM and adding Moses, instead of sacrificing one of the 3 maestros for Moses.

Saw the replay of that little spat between Nani and Oscar and Nani tried to stamp Oscar in the chest. Did look like Nani tried to pull it back but surely made some contact hence why Oscar got riled up.

I dont think Oscar was an angel though in that argument. But the stakes were high and both really excited

You have to give credit to Ramires who was an excellent foil beside him last night but it was breathtaking to watch Oscar play last night. Everything he did just oozed class and quality. He defended capably, he floated breezed forwards, he floated about the pitch, it was a show of ability rarely seen in English football, this was the type of stuff normally reserved for Barcelona or the great Brazilian teams of the past, no the opposition wasn't was strong as it could have been but this was a young lad coming off the bench after an exhausting game only 3 days ago and playing out of position and it was nothing short of a masterclass.

However I don't believe he should be played in the double pivot. Mikel and Ramires both serve important purposes and I quite like the partnership they have formed, in any case Brazil's starting number 10 has been in stunning form since breaking into the team, no point in changing something that works.

AMEN!!!!!!!!

best moment of the game, Oscar getting in Nani's face i bet Nani was stunned about that

It's a warning for everyone else if they think Oscar can be bullied easily because of this slight frame and innocent face!

I agree. Its good, what I was saying is that it wasnt like Nani did everything there

[RamiCFC9 258]

That's why I like Brazillians so much, always that boss attitude no matter how old they are and how big is the gap between his last club and now, the guy pretty much doesn't give a fuck.

[fAnta 107]

yep.
