Just to point out - Oscar finished 1st with a side that finished 22 points behind the champions in 2012, and 20 points behind them in 2011.
He took the league by 10 points, and won it with 4 games in hand (it was 13 points then).
Can I please bump this thread?

Who else plays bass here?
I haven't. I commented purely on Oscar's comments about English football. Still, seeing in the starting lineup thread most people here chose a 4-2-3-1 formation, or even a 4-4-2, I'm sure you're up for suprises. I'm sure that Oscar chose Brighton becuase it's a good place to implement his style...
Honestly, the article is not so good.
First of all, 26 games? It's been 36 league games.
Second, missiles didn't fall at the beach, they fell in "an open space". Since there are no open spaces in Tel-Aviv, everyone understood that they fell somewhere in the sea, far from the shore, which is why...
Welcome to the world of Cruyff.
Ball movement is about patience.
In Barcelona and Ajax they teach that strategy to kids since they first come to train at the clubs.
You have to have patience as fans as well. Because it will take time. Meanwhile, Oscar will prefer his team to hold the ball...
Reading your suggested lineups and formations reminds me of how no one in Israel understood Oscar a year ago...
Oscar plays with a 4-3-3, that isn't a variation of a 4-5-1 as we/you know it.
It has one defensive midfielder, two playmakers, one number 9 stiker, and two wingers/forwards.
Perhaps...
