Not really, Mata and Oscar are not so far apart in creativity as many think, the difference is that Mata is flashy and Oscar is a classy shy playmaker. Also, in the stage we are in, any defensive help we may get is highly beneficial (no matter who the opponent is). Hazard has been a ghost lately, Eto'o and Lampard are old Ramires likes to give up some easy possessions. Now, if you add Mata to the mix, we will be basically starting every game 0-1. What baffles me is that it looks like people in here havent watched our games. Yes we are looking very bad, but if there is one position where we are more than fine (starting position and bench) is at the #10 spot. I dont see any reason to discuss that. Oscar is the guy Mourinho wants to play and he is handling the job quite well, so end of story. When he gets tired and/or start having a couple of bad games, it will be time for us to put Mata on the game. But for now, our focus should be improving other very worrying areas so we can win games...
