OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 People forget Mata played more to the right for a bit under RDM and he did alright. He'll do good on the right and if Ramires plays right side of the pivot he will be more than capable to cover for him. If hes playing on the right wing, he'll be coming in field all the time so it might mean he'll shoot more like that goal he scored against Arsenal under AVB in that 5-3 game. Will save me shouting 'fucking shoot' at him when hes in more central positions trying to work onto his left the whole time.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mata can play all 3 AM positions at a high level, so can Hazard and KDB. Schurrle and Moses should only stay on the wings and Oscar in the middle.My depth chart for the 3 positions would be:LW - Hazard, Mata, KDB, Schurrle, MosesCAM - Oscar, Mata, KDB, HazardRW - Mata, KDB, Moses Dion and Stingray 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meetdoscar 335 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mata should not be shifted to accommodate any player. Any one who has to play should earn it, improve or burst why shift a player who gives more penetration and direct play to chelsea than i've ever seen. Oscar won't thrive best in 10 except the team is built somewhat around him. KDB should be used on the right. Hence you have either Hazard-mata-Kdb or hazard-oscar-kdb. Mou has to see this I hope because mata hasn't the pace or strength to go past fullbacks his intelligence is best served in front of the opposition box.

Mou has to see this I hope because mata hasn't the pace or strength to go past fullbacks his intelligence is best served in front of the opposition box.But the thing is, Mata won't be moved to accommodate someone, but rather the whole team and system. The problem we had with 4-2-3-1 with Mata as the number 10 is that he very rarely dropped deep to receive the ball because he is uncomfortable with his back to goal which meant that we were outnumbered in midfield when we had the ball and we had serious issues with getting the ball from defense to attack. Benitez tried to solve this problem by switching to 4-4-1-1 and having the wingers play further back and used triangles with the fullbacks and pivot to get the ball out of defense. It seems from the first preseason game that Jose, on the other hand, is trying to get that number 10 to drop deep to receive the ball from the pivot and move it to the front three or even be a bit similar to a DPL and play long balls from the midway line. KDB did this A LOT in the game and even Piazon did it in the first 20 mins when he played there.

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mata is untouchable. Seems that a lot of people forgot that he was one of our main players since the day he first kicked the ball for Chelsea. KDB better than him? give me a break.KdB has everything and more to be better than Mata tbf.I think our top 2 players next season will be KdB and Hazard, I think Mata will still have a fantastic season but i feel the 2 Belgians will tear the PL to pieces next season!

TrippingStep 336 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I understand the fears some have.But it's not only Mata.Mata, Oscar, Hazard (perhaps a little less) could struggle depending on the system we will play.It would never have been the case, but if Benitez was still coach, with some midfield improvements, a new striker, I'm sure Hazard would have a gigantic season. I'm not sure anymore.I think Schürlle and KDB will have the best stats next year.Schürlle is the counter-attack runner with pace that thrives on Mourinho system.

So many things wrong there but you are so undervaluing Mata right there to begin with.If Wilshere stayed healthy and when on form, he's world class. If he'd have stayed fit for the past few seasons we'd probably be hearing near Bale type money for him since he's English and all.If I had to make a wild guess I'd say he's probably worth £30m right now.

Popular Post! NishC300 1,865 Posted July 19, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted July 19, 2013 I read this on FB: 1. Juan Mata asks random people on the street if he can take a picture with them. 2. Juan Mata believes in Fernando Torres.3. Juan Mata swapped his first class plane ticket with a woman in third class. 4. Juan Mata texted Jose Mourinho: "Don't sell Fernando Torres, he will come good." 5. Juan Mata's brain cannot process the word arrogance. He only knows humbleness. 6. Juan Mata never walked past a homeless person without giving him/her money. 7. When Juan Mata sees a shooting star he wishes that everyone else's wishes come true. 8. Juan Mata has never stepped onan ant. 9. Juan Mata has never said a swear word. 10. Juan Mata reads the terms andconditions before agreeing them.Not 100% sure if this stuff is true since FB is full of bs Chelsea?, sdrcfc, edenhazard17 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
