Santiago. 1,500 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 His mental and physical fatigue gets the best of him. Instead of fucking resting him he plays the entire 90 against Sparta The only place to be, Green Lantern18, Mufassir08 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Mata's stamina isn't great. He's been run to the ground by Benitez in the past few weeks. Even when he is not tired before a game, his influence decreases greatly in the last 15 mins. We used to slate AVB for often subbing him off in the last 10-15 mins but i guess now we found out why. And no, he did not have a bad game, imo. He had some sublime touches, linked up extremely well with Hazard and tracked back and defended very well in the first half.

Jase 43,479 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 His mental and physical fatigue gets the best of him. Instead of fucking resting him he plays the entire 90 against SpartaCan hardly blame him. We flogged him to death last season by playing in nearly all our of 50+ games then. He then went to the Euros. Played in the Olympics. And only got a bit of rest earlier this season under RDM. Since then, he has hardly got one. Partly thanks to our over reliance of him and reluctance of Benitez to rest in certain small games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Went through the records and found out that Mata is the only player that has played every game under Benitez so far. Started in 22 games and came on as sub in other 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea 734 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Watch his performance again from yesterday and watch how impeccable his first touch is, just top class.He's carrying this team right now, true shame.He is not carrying the team. Especially, not yesterday. If anyone was doing anything positive, it was Hazard, with his runs and holdup play. Also, Oscar touch>Mata.... To be honest with Mata, he was groomed to be a striker, not a number 10, however, since coming to Chelsea, he was made into that position cause no one in Chelsea had any creative ability... Also, don't think I'm hating on Mata, I still think he's the best player this year for Chelsea... it's a shame to think that he might want to leave somewhere in teh future..Also, at his age, I don't think he's going to leave to go to either Barca or Real.....

(Unless, you meant a different big league) I'm sorry but Mata has been carrying this team nearly all season. Mata wasn't groomed to be a striker at all, where the hell do you get that from?

Lmao, what team have you been watching? granted he wasn't great yesterday and has had some bad games, but he's been far and away our most influential player since the season started.
