That is not true at all. Mata is definitely a better attacking player than Oscar, but it is not night and day, not in the slightest! If you cant think of one attribute Oscar is better, that just proves how clueless you are about him and how much you are overrating the Spaniard. Oscar is a much, much better organizer than Juan, the involves other players way more than Mata (who keeps the ball a lot in his feet) and he has a incredibely better close range shot (Mata lost a fucking huge amount of easy goals the past season). Mata plays well when we have possession, but when we dont, he is a fucking horrible player. AVB and Benitez wanted us to keep the ball for a long time, so he was obviously our best player. However, that is not how Mourinho wants to play, so Mata is not the answer. Jose wants to emulate what he did with Ozil in Madrid and, although Oscar is still far way from the German, he is the closest thing we have. Mata is also very inconsistent, he has long steakes of brilliance and long streaks of bad games. Mourinho doesnt want his CAM to have those ups and downs. Jose prefers Oscar playing at a 7-8 all games than Mata being the wizzard that he is at times but horrible (as in the Confederations Cup and UCL 2012 Semis and Final) at others. There is no doubt Mata is the better overall attacking player, but there is also no doubt Oscar is the best for the team!
