Counter attack does not mean defend2 and counter. It is more about fast transition,I am not sure mata fits that system. He is much better playing slightly slower tempo and play killer ball. With the way we play right now, oscar is much more suited in that no 10 position even hazard is probably better. For me, It is probably a good example of either modifies a system around your player or use a system and make the team fits around it. I really like mata as a player and I really wish mourinho can find a way to incorporate mata, but it looks like it is not going to happen. Hopefully, I am wrong but that is
