Re: Oscar

Ramires had a good offensive display, but he is off the ball type player and not one to get involved in our build up.

I don't think Everton would have created the same amount of opportunity if Oscar played, we needed Oscar to get on the ball and help Cesc distribute the ball.

With Oscar out Mikel should have been in the game a lot earlier.

Either way glad with the win and largely thinks to Everton horrid back four tbf.

Ramires did get a couple of good assists but he constantly gives away fouls in bad areas, and with him AND Cesc fouling, not surprising they scored from a FK. Oscar is much better than both so he was missed in that in that respect.

Oscar wrote:‘Maybe it’s the way Fabregas plays,’ Oscar told Chelsea magazine.

‘He plays very similarly to me – but we have worked very well together in the first games of this season and we also get on very well. He came into the team and immediately he fitted in very well.

‘Coming deeper to get the ball is something that I’ve always done, but it is also something that the manager likes me to do and, in the same way, Fabregas and Willian also do it.

‘We have been switching positions a lot and we hope to perfect that as the season goes on because it has been working very well for the team.’

‘I think that we are looking very good at the moment. All the players are at a high level, but now we have to continue playing well because every one of us wants to win the Premier League this season.’

Don't understand why has been benched. He was great against Swansea, Mou made a mistake playing Ramires or Willian over him.

by Kick Mon Sep 22, 2014 5:06 am

I was surprised Willian played over him. I think the only reason is both have a lot of Pace over Oscar on the counter.

by Blue Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:52 am

Playing great football at the moment. MOTM for me against Villa.

by Kick Sun Sep 28, 2014 11:34 am

Same, fantastic form. Let's hope he keeps it up.

He is doing very well.

I wouldn't say he controls the game, that is Cesc, but he compliments Cesc very well and is doing a great job.

by Shed Mon Oct 20, 2014 2:45 am

I'm more than happy that he's merely back in form for now. I wasn't half worrying before the season started that he'd carry his awful form from the second half of the last campaign into this one. Very happy it's proved to have been for naught.

by Kick Mon Oct 20, 2014 2:54 am

Yes, couldn't agree more.

A big bid (not that anyone would make one) would see him gone in the summer, I reckon. And tbh, provided a quality replacement could be brought in, or a complete abandonment of the 4-2-3-1 altogether, I wouldn't be the least bit sorry to see him go.

Comments made accusing him of underperforming at a time most people unanimously agree he underperformed in.

Your point?

by Kick Sun Nov 02, 2014 3:47 am

I particularly like Quote 2. Proud

I constantly made the point that there was nothing to worry about and his form would return, you kept spouting comments like the ones I quoted.

No faith.

by Shed Sun Nov 02, 2014 4:04 am

Quote 2 is probably the most accurate of all of them. If you disagree with it, what you're effectively saying is that because he's back to playing better again now, his going MIA for 6 months was okay.

by Kick Sun Nov 02, 2014 4:17 am

Uhhh, it was ok, He's still young so you can't expect the world of him, like you did.

by Shed Sun Nov 02, 2014 4:23 am

Again you willfully conflate the issue. Expecting a player to perform competently on, barring an exception here and there, a consistent basis ≠ "expecting the world of" him. Same accusation you make spuriously against me in the Salah thread. Must really be desperate for something to throw back at me, eh?

Shed being too stubborn to admit hes wrong Proud

by Shed Sun Nov 02, 2014 4:31 am

Again, I said he was playing poorly in a period pretty much everyone agreed then and agrees to this day he was playing poorly in. Please elaborate on where I was "wrong" in this.

If you can produce a quote of me saying he'll never play well again, you'll have a point. Until then, you best pipe down. Only digging yourself deeper at this point.
