'If It's Football, It's Vital'
That Oscar Spat
If I were Oscar, I`d be slightly miffed too!
As a Brazilian, Oscar would have wanted to start in the FIFA Club World Cup Final, last Sunday, instead he was left on the bench as Rafa Benitez, as he used to do with alarming regularity at Anfield, rotated his starting eleven.
Now, to me, Oscar has been one of our better players this season, his industry, skill, endeavour and ability to beat people with ease has seen the youngster settle into English football with ease. If I were in charge, he`d be one of the first names on the team-sheet, but then again - what do I know?
However, speaking about not making the starting eleven, on Sunday, Oscar is quoted as having remarked,
"I was upset because I could have helped the team more had I been the holding midfielder like Frank Lampard, or played instead of Victor Moses."
"But it was the managers` decision. He is in charge. We cannot only play and beat the small teams. Sunday was a big game. We have to start winning these big games."
Indeed we do, it`s okay spanking those who don`t have the tactical-nous to keep us out but we need to produce the goods against those teams we consider as rivals for honours.
Speaking about Oscar`s apparent discontent, Rafa, ahead of the clash with Leeds United tonight, counter-remarked,
"I was surprised about it and asked him later but I believe Oscar is a good lad and a professional."
"The problem was that we had played with the same 11 players in the majority of the games and had to change because you can`t carry on playing the same people."
"Oscar is new to the Premier League and we also have Juan Mata and Eden Hazard to do the same job."
"Of course he would be happier playing every game but we all need to understand the team is the priority. I`ve told him he will have a lot more minutes and a great future here."
I`d suggest the future would be a whole lot brighter if Benitez built his team around this talented youngster who is destined to be a superstar!

If TEAM is the PRIORITY......then the hell you play that fecking torres....when you play him then where the priority goes....you know he is a flop then why waste time and place gor the person....our club is in such a dire state cant believe....no one is happy our young players who are our future are not happy with the way our club is running....for one fecking person the whole club has got fecked....the whole squad is suffering becasue roman wants his junk toy to start which wont and would never start in this life....he should throw that toy rather than use it...the whole season has got ruined....

he has been one of our stand-out performers this season.... Was a regular under RDM when we were playing fantastic, entertaining football, and winning. Since RB came on board, Oscar has started only one game out of eight. He is within his right to be upset. I've always said that Rafa won't lead us anywhere with the way he's handling the team. How long will i continue to wait for RB to prove me wrong?

more consistent than hazard who tends to drift in and out of games

Corinthians is a side he knows too well,so i think he should have made the starting eleven. That line up was a mess for many reasons.
Ohans
Woah im not sure how I feel about him suggesting he is a better play than moses openly like that even though I think Benitez should have started Oscar. So much dissent amongst the Chelsea ranks.
Anarchy
Let's call a spade a spade the lad is very talented and should have started, he is currently brazil no.10 and for good reason, he is not a player that should be on the bench because currently his form is better than of the midfielders we have in our ranks now, so I am with him for voicing out his frustration, he and moses are different players, so I don't see him starting ahead of him, he should give mata a run for his money as a no.10, currently he can make the shirt his own if we judge him with his current form
Desmondadonis
Most of the midfielders we have in our ranks* but I think rafa should ban the players from speaking to the media and using their social networks to do the same, I am sure if we concentrate on football alone we'll be playing better and avoid controversies
Desmondadonis
Agree Des, all it does is (I would assume) cause animosity between the players who start and don't start. Quite a remark he made about Moses; I'm sure they won't be going to a matinee any time soon together.
ForeverChels
@des,i totally agree with u,these players are talkin too much to the media,how many times do we hear manure,$hity,le arse or spuds players vent out their frustration in the media...if u have a problem with the coach sort it out internally or better stil work very hard in trainin to convince him.am beginin to get worried at the speed which our players run to the wolves to discuss club issues that could be handled internally.

I really hope it is not this: 'If Frank does it, and he gets a start the next match, why shouldn't I'?
ForeverChels
if we had a proper CF instead of torres we woulsd be near (if not at) the top of the league and still in the CL. make no mistake about that!
trueblue44
I've always said Mosses is quality but if am given a choice between mosses and oscar i'd pick oscar ahead of Mosses all the time, that said, i think they're certain games Mosses' skill set i.e direct runing and early balls+Crosses are needed so the obvious swap is oscar cause Harzard and Mata are untouchable for me, no matter what any of you say!
