Oscar

It still amazes me that people try to redirect any criticism of Oscar to players like Willian and Ramires.

It's probably the best defence they can come up with right now...

One year later....

Oscar is still around, and everyone will still be amazed.

And I will be happy.

How are you a mod? you incite low level of bickering and discussion.

Read my posts, when is Willian/Ramires even mentioned?

Beside Gilvorak, who else has defended Oscar by redirecting their criticism toward Willian or Ramires?

I like Oscar, just think we need to manage him better..help build his stamina etc..he`s gone through good and lethargic patches since we signed him. when he`s on form he`s one of the most pleasing to watch players we have had in the modern era..in great teams there`s room for various different types of players and when it`s the turn of one player to hit a lean streak,it`s the turn of another player to do his job.

No one mentioned your name and you get all worked up? Touchy.

Not being touchy, it is not about that.

You made a generalized statement though, i feel your statement is quite unfair to many posters who have defended Oscar. By saying their best defense is by redirecting their criticism toward Ramires or Willian. That statement is utterly ignorant though, beside one poster i have not seen anyone do that.

That was kinda meant more for those who used the redirection of criticism route, not those who have defended Oscar with decent points. And pretty sure there are a few such posts on the forum, not just in this thread.

He has to be in his absolutely best shape to avoid pressing and therefore not losing the ball . He hasn't got resist-pressing technique nor is strong on his feet. I can't recall the big game when he just was there and was able to cope with pressing from the back. Usually it looks very bad but most of the times he doesn't even play in those games.

He can't keep that ball and in our style of play we leave our players isolated often in hope of them to cope with the situation on their own. Oscar can't do this, unfortunately. His way of dealing with the heavy press is to avoid contact on every occasion, he can do that effectively but as I said, he has to be in the best shape physically to do this. And he is burned out in around half of the season = looses the ball in pressing situation in abundance.

Still think that Premier League doesn't suit him. He is very good player but one thing you can't disagree about the Premier League is that teams chasing you aggressively, take physical battle with you and put heavy pressing on you. And he can't cope with this when he is fatigued, doesn't have the muscles (and it looks like he won't have them in the future) nor technique to get through this.

But I see him thrive in the Serie A or La Liga.

Got hooked at half time again, expected by..................................everyone beforehand. Time to get rid to PSG or Juve.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I could see Jose will say it is for a tactical purpose

[Fernando 6,585]

Don't worry he will be here next season and ripping teams in the first half of the season.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

If Jose has time machine, he will not do that sub.

Yet another shocker from the boy wonder.

He must still be tired from travelling aaaaaaaaall the way to France and north London for Brazil's friendlies.
