The sad thing about this whole Sterling situation is that some people here cannot see that Suarez and to a lesser extent Sturridge were the ones creating the space for Sterling by occupying defenders. Why did Sterling look so average at the World Cup? Why does he look so average now? There's no Suarez to open space for him. Abi Na leg over dey constitute playmaker ability these days. We keep saying that Oscar is not a Kagawa or Gotze. He's more in the mold of Rooney, Tevez, Muller. He's a supporting striker who can cover ground tirelessly and has an eye for goal. He might not be a 'game changer', but he keeps going. And you very rarely find a 10 that does that. Mata will give you the passing...but won't track back. You claim you want to eliminate the 10 all together...but how many top teams successfully play a 4-3-3? I can only think of Barca and maybe Bayern and us Jose's first time round. You can't play a successful 4-3-3 unless your front 3 are completely badass...because it's more difficult to link the midfield to attack. 3 Likes |

AirborneLacer: Sterling stats this season in a crap team with no striker is the same or better than Oscar's. 3 goals and 2 assists each in the league. Oscar in a great team scoring goals for fun, Raheem in a team that can't even find the back of the net. Sterling and Draxler are the best players in their struggling teams - the only ones making anything happen. And where was Oscar when Chelsea were struggling last season? On the bench! |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 7:10pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
Nihilist: Yes, because from the wing, most of your passes are crosses which don't hit your man. Wingers have much lower percentage success than central midfielders, that's fact, nothing new. Raheem is a much better passer. Check which of Oscar's passes are successful, it's those 10 yard passes with no pressure. Ramires also plays those passes and gets 85% regularly and no one calls him a decent passer. As soon as Oscar has to release a man, everything overhit or underhit. You discussing old news that Nateevs has already covered months ago - he was one of the first to tell us Oscar is a goat at passing, and one of the first to highlight Raheem's brilliance. Oscar ko, Oscar ni. |

@Nitlad Thanks for the tutorial. Appreciated. @Ibime I know you have sound knowledge of the game, but you are letting your dislike of Oscar get the better of you. And I don't even need stats to see Oscar is a far far better than Sterling and Draxler, especially Sterling. But Nihilist already presented stats that show that, even for Oscar's relatively poor passing, he is better in that department than Sterling. 1 Like |

Ibime: Oga boss, in about 90 Mins, we'll see Sterling lift his team against Madrid. We can all agree that Oscar is one of our better performers in Europe, no? Sidenote: I'm obviously trolling. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 7:23pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
dawhizkid1: And I responded thus: Ibime: All those cutbacks that Raheem regularly cuts back into the box after dribbling his man is what you are counting - nonsense stats. Also Liverpool is a counterattacking team who break at fast pace. They don't pass easy passes in their half, they break quickly and release passes at speed. Last season, Coutinho only made 80% of his passes (lower than Raheem's 82%) - and every man and his dog knows Coutinho would pass Oscar to death. Can you see Raheem through on goal with two men either side and overhit a pass as we've seen Oscar do 5 times in the last 3 weeks? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilist: 7:31pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
Ibime: Which wing? Sterling played as a 10 behind Sturridge and Suarez most of last season. Why else was there a cry to play Sterrling at 10 at the World Cup and Rooney on the left by the media. Ibime stop lying. SAS scored over 50 goals last season and Sterling only assisted 6 of them....a few of those assists are Penalties won sef... 1 Like |

Ibime: You and I know say all those 'he plays from the wing' excuse no count. I don't need Opta to know that Hazard has better passing stats that Oscar, for example. Doesn't he play from the wing too? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 8:07pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
Nihilist: And where did Coutinho play? Right back? We know who is watching football and who is not. Because Rodgers put Sterling at the tip of the diamond for the first time against United 3/4's way through the season and subsequently in a handful of big games, those who watch footie with one eye will claim Sterling played in the hole. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 8:09pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
dawhizkid1: Give me another winger bar Hazard. You know Hazard is a precise mudafucka who doesn't even do crosses or cutbacks. He will dribble inside and lay the ball on your feet. Go and fetch Jesus Navas stats for example. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by dawhizkid1(m): 8:37pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
Ibime: Why should I fetch Navas' stats? If you claim Sterling passes better than Oscar, then you're putting him in the same bracket as the Hazards and Robbens and Iniestas and the Neymars of the game. He clearly falls waaaaaaay short. To each his opinion, but Sterling is no where near Oscar's quality. 1 Like |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 9:06pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
dawhizkid1: The joke of this post is that you think Oscar is only one step behind those names mentioned. Comparing ninjas who get shortlisted for Ballo D'or with a nigga who can't even make shortlist for Young player of the year in his local league. Actually the comparison was on style of play - I'm saying Hazard is a more precise kind of winger. The same Robben you mentioned is on 82% in the Bundesliga, same numbers as Sterling. I said Coutinho is on 80% in the same Liverpool team as Sterling and every dog knows he passes way better than Oscar. The question should be why Oscar is consistently posting the lowest numbers in the Chelsea team, a team that plays measured possession game. Do you think Sterling playing no10 for Chelsea would be having less accuracy than Schurrle and co? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 9:08pm On Nov 04, 2014 |
Nihilist: This is the most sense you've made today. I've never considered Oscar a midfielder. I put him in the same mould of player as Muller. The difference is he is a "supporting striker". . . . who scores 10 goals a season. . . . with 3 assists. |

Apart from the selling him part, which I cannot decide upon (because I still see potential and usefulness), Ibime is right. |
