TheChelseaDane 48 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Poor fella.Mourinho made it quite clear that Oscar was his main #10, so come on guys, you can't blame the man for changing. Of course, it did hurt a bit that he chose Man United, but why shouldn't he? United were probably the ones who offered the biggest check, and if weather we like it or not, they are one of the biggest clubs on this planet. We got a very nice fee for a man who was benching it more than playing, and Mata got to play every time(back then).I wanna see him succeed, and a move back to Valencia could be the right thing for him. Can't take Atl. Madrid out of the equation neither. Top team, who could probably help Mata in the right direction again.#FreeJuan! zolayes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike 373 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Went on redcafe and they are all convinced that Mata is going to get sold in Jan. Minus the assist, he wasnt good today and was manhandle quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike 373 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 United vs Chelsea is the game I've been most excited about in months....After reading redcafe and their mindset they have defensively stability now, I hope Chelsea scores 6 on them... xPetrCechx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be here for long playing like that.Just awful. Get rid as soon as possible.It's like playing with one man down.He really isn't the player I imagined he would be. Looks scared when put under pressure and even when he has space, he isn't particularly creative. Most of the time, he will play a simple pass. I do think he worked harder tonight than usual so I'll give him that.Was shite today tbh.He needs to man the feck up and take some responsibility. Pretty sideways passes are nice and all, but he's in the team to try and create some goals.Was missing all game. People on here (rightly/wrongly whatever) slating Januzaj and Van Persie but Mata was actually the worst player thinking about it. I considered Blind our worst till the goal but that's only cos I forgot all about MataSimply can't dictate play or hold the ball where you want him to. Added to his lack of defensive nous, it's hard to see where he'll fit in.For me, our worse player tonight. His touch, control and passing are poor. He just does not look the classy player on the ball that he was.Completely anonymous again. At this point I might start thinking Fellaini should play ahead of him.Reminds me of the Torres thread after every chelsea game....

Nike 373 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That's what he did at Chelsea.Somehow everyone thought he was a dictator/number 10. Probably because he's small and Spanish, I guess.He was always a second striker. He played best under Di Matteo who allowed his 'amigos' the freedom to not defend. It was a team that had poor shape in the league, and moved the the ball forward really quickly from front to back.This minimised the physical side of the game. Most of his good work came as Chelsea broke. He'd receive it in his half, spin, pass it wide, sprint forward and score from a cut back. It was 4 on 4 counter attacking. Lots of space to run/pass into.You put Mata in a part of the pitch where he's closely marked, and needs to hold the ball - and you'll get the Mata we see today.I remember having a huge argument that Mata was a striker, moreso than a midfielder, but than again this board kept saying the latter. United fans are seeing what I already knew from mata in his younger days at madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United fans are seeing what I already knew from mata in his younger days at madrid. I think every one deep down were aware of his flaws but because of how reliant we were on him no one wanted to admit it, especially in his first season.If we admitted our best player had massive flaws that would mean he would struggle to get in the best teams, that would mean having to admit just what a mess we were in.The meltdown and anti Jose comments on here when he left are getting even more funnier with every passing week.
