I must admit I think I was watching a different game to most, I actually thought Oscar did ok, we were analysing his pass rate and he was pretty successful, unfortunately for him he was constantly being asked to compensate for the inept performance of Fabregas, who is not achieving on a regular basis. Certainly Cesc should have been the one taken off, apart from a couple of decent passes he cannot play a holding role and our midfield is getting ripped to pieces. Oscar needs to be given the responsibilty of playing a full game, as soon as the subs are introduced it's always him ( not always justified), this has to be the season when he is allowed the opportunity to show us what he can do or not, if not he needs to be moved on. I feel Oscar is a very capable of being an important player to the team but he needs more confidence and not always made to look the scape goat when things don't work out.
Lets face it, we let a very poor team dictate to us for most of the game, we lack passion and commitment and carry no threat up front without Costa. Hazard is brilliant at times but doesn't always no when to release the ball or to get a shot off, Pedro to be honest was a non-event on the day. Terry's prescence is definitely being missed, his leadership is fantastic and we miss that spirit.
Bran has to be dropped, he is lacking pace and his awareness has been shot to pieces.
With Man City getting thrashed, this has been a massive two points dropped.
