No.10 Role

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Mata is ready to move mountains for Chelsea, while Oscar dances samba only.

then, Torres is dancing salsa right??

What does that even mean??? Have you been listening to too much damn Scripts lately???

So Mata will justifiably get his start, on Tuesday.

My question is, what exactly has Mata shown in the last two games that he doesn´t always show ?

Did he track back as requested by Jose ? I had not seen it.

Was he more professional in his approach ? No, he was his usual, professional self.

Was he tuned more into Jose´s system ? I did not notice any difference.

Mata´s a world No 10 & it´s hard to see any better, in my view.

To me, Jose was on his power trip, then. It´s my way or the way, as they say.

Perhaps, Jose knows something the rest of us failed to see ?

Mata was the class of Chelsea, last year & no Oscar can that away, certainly not yet.

Mata is the better creator and the better attacker, Oscar is the better midfielder. Both can be useful. Against teams like Bayern or Barcelona where we will be in our own half most times, Oscar is much more useful. But against smaller teams that we dominate, Mata should be our no.10.

So Oscar against taller teams & against shorter teams Mata.

Since Barca are dwarfs only, then Mata is the choice.

Hence why JimCFC (our admin) banned bushman from totalfootballforums, he didn't break the rules, his posts were just too retarded. Alex clearly hasn't got the memo..

Watch 22 seconds, where oscar dribbles willian with brazilian Hat. Even while playing from the wings none of our new signings have proved to be better than oscar in that position he played in most of last season. Just saying. I Would love to see how he does now in his natural position

what a brilliantly witty post ... I can hardly believe you are just a bushman.. you are soooo ab(original) ..how many times are you going to call Oscar

a samba boy ????

I think we all saw that when Mata came on the field we were a complete different team (against Tottenham), in a good way. Oscar is a great player and is one of my favorite players but Mata must play as well. He is one of the best in the premier league! Both can play as wingers but not as good as when they play as nr.10 so Jose must find out which one to play as nr.10 the most. Hazard also likes to be a nr.10..

I know Oscar is your preferred No.10 and that you have provided reasons for it, which are not wrong but judging by your posts in this thread today, seems that you suddenly feel insecure that suddenly Mata did more, as a No.10, than your Oscar yesterday....

I think Mou will make Mata a better and more complete player, and it is already showing. I think Oscar should be a nr.10 in Chelsea, and Mata should play from the right wing as if you look his previous seasons he started most of the attacks (even when coming deeper to get the ball) from the right side of the pitch, even when he is centrally positioned (kind of right center if you will).

[zolayes 14,489]

I fail to see why intelligent and skilful players cant interchange in attacking situations..

with Duff a nd Robben we had two natural left wings who were able to change positions ,,now which manager was able to make this work ..

I know it was a while ago.

[The_Flash 1,144]

Both good lets just play both and all be friends

[Henrique 9,133]

Oscar is not a n.10. He can easily play alongside Mata, imo he can do better what Mourinho expect Schurlle to do.

[Drogzola 283]

Its a tough decision, they both offer aspects to the game that we love and both are such great guys too. I voted Oscar in the 10 role because I find he moves a bit quicker than Mata and he closes down players quicker which puts them under pressure from the start. I just hope we find a way to play them both.

Maybe a 4141 formation?

Cech

Ivonovic Terry Luiz Cole

Mikel / Ramires

Willian Oscar Mata Hazard

Torres / Eto

Just a thought.

This.

Oscar for me is an 8. I liked the way he played with the olympic team, simple plays, link-up between the wingers, fullbacks, striker and making sure the ball was moving well in the team.

Since he's at Chelsea, he tries to force things much more, making more indivual efforts. For me he would be better in a team that controls the ball better in possession, moves the ball quicker and would score even more I think by simply making intelligent late runs in the box.

He would always on the move but with less violent efforts, as long runs at full speed or near that is what is the more taxing for the body and what is making a player tired more quickly.

On the last match, he seemed tired.

[The Happy One 18]

the debate is futile, jose gets to decide whats best for the team and most likely they'll interchange positions during matches

good thing we have both players with different profiles for the same position not many teams have it
