Mostly agree with what you say my friend, though Oscar really isn't doing anything for me. Agree 100% with Pedro, made the difference in 1 game, and has now disappeared. Though we have more fundamental issues like lack of movement in the final 3rd and utilizing cesc better, even if that means dropping him to start and bring him in when opponents are more tired. I would like to see us go with a power build circa 2005
Pedro is quality, all ways shows for the pass just didn't have final product today. I think Willy is the man who really makes us tick, we miss his breakaway energy. Dunno about Oscar but we seem to win if he plays. Hazard is working his way back into form same as Fabregas. Costa needs to stay in the middle.

That movement is what is missing and Oscar Hazard and Willian know exactly what to do. If Hazard moves in field Oscar instinctively knows to go cover. Pedro doesn't and Cesc pushed on doesn't. Oscar isn't playing well but he keeps the team shape which was what brought the success. Teams have far more room when Oscar isn't in the team as has been seen when he was out. Arsenal even before losing men did not have the space today. Sometimes individual pieces don't shine but if they fit the team that's what counts. Oscar does that in Jose's set up.
