Maybe it is just a different approach to playing passing football. Gus forced them to pass from day 1 whether they were comfortable with it or not and seemed to go nuts on the side if they didn't. Maybe Oscar is letting them do their own thing more if they feel uneasy, hence a few longer balls than usual, and will either coach them to get better off the pitch or replace them slowly when the right players come available. Pure speculation.
This is a perfectly rational post, and I agree with it. At times I thought some of our players really didn't look comfortable with the ball at their feet.
