Mata is too good to be benched. He was our best player two times in a row, two seasons in a row. Under Mourinho he is a shadow of what he used to be. Why waste him on the bench? Even when he is brought to the game, he does okay, but not more than this. You are the clear product of today's society. You can only see black and white, good and bad, like there are no things in between. Mata is too good to be benched and Benayoun and Marin are not quality enough. We have actually a lot of good squad players in attacking midfield. Schurrle, KDB, Traore to name a few. Not to mention Moses and Atsu who are loaned out. There should be balance in the squad, between great players (Mata is one) and good players, who are competition for great players. Quality - yes. World class - no. Out of those players, only Casillas, Gotze and Isco are on the same level as Mata. And actually Isco doesn't play so little.
