Mata has been omitted from the Spain squad for the upcoming international games.

Good to hear it. He really needs a rest...

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

No suprise. His rest was pretty much confirmed by RDM anyway. He should rest for the QPR game as well.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Yup, he could really use the next two weeks to rest up. Hope he doesn't have to report to training either.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

He doesn't have to report to training either.

That's sort of the point of a rest. No games or training i.e. a Vacation.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Deserved rest for him, but as far I know Rdm, he will play him in first next game we play.

Anyone knows if this kind of 'burn out' is taking just few (2 or 3) seasons or will Mata always have problems with that?

from what i recall he didn't have a proper break for a few season now, so imagine working hard basically every day and giving everything you have at least 1-2 a week. it can destroy your body.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

A Burnout of a player cannot simply be avoided with one rest period. It's a start but that player will need to be rested occasionally throughout the season. We have the capacity to do that now with the depth we have. However having the capacity and actually doing it are two different things.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

???

Hazard, Oscar, Marin, Moses, Sturridge and sometimes Bertrand.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Hazard-Oscar-Ramires

Bertrand-Oscar-Hazard

Hazard-Oscar-Moses

Marin-Hazard-Moses

We have a lot of options in his position.

Still, ramires shouldn't play there anymore, and i think that moses and marin not good as he.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

i think that moses and marin not good as he.

Your point? They are good players and more than capable of playing there to give Mata a rest. Same goes for Hazard. I know he has played a crazy amount of consecutive minutes at Lille but an odd rest here and there will do him good.

[Sheva. 5,373]

I agree with that, especially about Ramires, but RDM keeps using him there, so he counts as an option.

Marin and Moses are not as good as him, but would be actually perfect in games against lesser teams where we need width and trickery out wide.

[Superblue 6,372]

Not just lesser teams. We were crying out for width on friday night to stretch atletico. Moses should have come on for Ramires rather than Oscar.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Lads theres an easy way around burnout.

Ring up Dr. Michele Ferrari and ask him for some EPO.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

So this is one reason we might switch to 4-3-3. Mata can get his pause as he is not effective in a 4-3-3 for some time.

Why underrate Marin so much?, fair enough Moses but still.

I think Marin and Moses are better than Ramires to be honest, on the right i mean, but overall Marin is better but doubt Moses is. Ramires just has his moments, very inconsistent with his technical ability it's shocking. Marin was awesome pre season a lot better than i expected to be honest, he looked just about as good as Hazard did for me, i seriously doubt he is but he looked it.

Agreed i think everyone is underestimating marin,if he can remain injury-free then i think he can establish himself in first 11.

I think you're being a bit harsh on Ramires. He is the engine of our team and popped up with crucial goals last season. I agree we would be much better having either Marin or Moses on the right wing and allowing Ramires to play centrally, as when we play him right we lack width.
