chelseathebest 150 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I think he should be more selfish in some situations. Anyways, great to have him back in the first XI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvala 2,167 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I think he should be more selfish in some situations. Anyways, great to have him back in the first XI.Yea.. I remember a few chances where he could have had a shot and was pretty close to goal but decided to pass. Maybe his confidence is a little down, or maybe thats just the player he is.

Barbara 15,149 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I don't think it's about selfishness or lack of confidence. It's style. He'll always favor a pass over a shot, which is understandable and not a problem, except in a few occasions where he should definitely go for the shot and he passes and drives me crazy He's Spanish... Spain these days is all about tiki taka, so I think any other Spaniard on his place would be inclined to do the same... it their culture yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I agree with the majority - he should be starting. We missed his magic against Stoke and we could've done with him playing the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed his magic against Stoke and we could've done with him playing the game. We shouldn't be conceding 3 goals against Stoke.Sorry, I can't believe people are actually trying to shift the blame unto any of our forward players here (bar Eto'o, but we shouldn't have been in that situation to begin with).The loss was 100% the defences fault IMO.

We missed Oscar I think today. Whatever Mata brought to the team last season simply hasn't appeared yet this season. Maybe that's a fitness issue but Oscar is the first name on my team sheet right now. There's plenty of blame for today's result for why we lost, but there's also got to be some for why we didn't win when we were in command for so long. pHaRaOn and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 We missed Oscar I think today. I agree that this was perhaps a game more suited for Oscar at number 10, but he's not fit enough obviously.Mata wasn't horrible but wasn't fantastic either, had a quiet game unfortunately.Shit happens though.

The_Flash 1,144 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Mata was so great last season, i guess all this in and out of the team hasnt helped. However when he does get playing he really has to do well to show Jose. I keep hoping he will get a goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuvala 2,167 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ofc, Oscar returns from injury and Mata is immediately out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
