Stats 7,142 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Speak for yourself. Many people knew Mata found it difficult in big games and was borderline invisible on several occasions.We're not a one man team.Yes, agree we are not a one man team but Mata was such a deciding influence many of the times we played. Bar City, he has been a key influence against United several times. He scored the winner there last season, scored a magnificent goal at our ground in the 3-2 loss which we got cheated out of and was it not him who provided the assist for Ba's wonderful goal against United in the FA Cup replay last season?When we won the CL how key was he to our run? Scored the key away goal in Naples, was the best player on the pitch in the return leg. He also scored home and away against Arsenal when we done the double over them last season. In fact every game he has played against Arsenal when he has started he has scored from what I remember.Also when we beat Spurs 4-2 at WHL last season he scored 2 and assisted the final goal for Sturridge.Yes, sometimes I agree that he has found it difficult in big games but more times than not he has proved a decisive factor and that is not easy to replace. He proved last season that if he was an indispensable player. He saved are team so much for the last 2 seasons. â•«rue Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutro 1,026 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Invisible lol?United, Arsenal, Spurs, Barcelona, Madrid etc he constantly has great games against them.The character assasination has begun.He's by far our best offensive player the only problem with him is his defensive work rate.By far our best offensive player? Sorry but i have my doubts, im not saying he isnt but surely not by far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hazard goes invincible more than Mata. â•«rue Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â•«rue Blue 47 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 yes beside city, mata ONLY really invisible against barca and bayern ,when team play really really deep but other many big game and important match last season, not always but he often play really goodi think this isn't about mata useless or not in big game, but maybe under mourinho the system and team transtional play is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 By far our best offensive player? Sorry but i have my doubts, im not saying he isnt but surely not by far!Mata is the only consistent offensive player on our team. Even in his poor games he usually contributes towards our attack.Hazard has a higher ceiling because of his pace and dribbling ability but isn't anywhere near as consistent. Out of Oscar, Mata and him he's the least influential in big games. Chelsea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 After Frank, Mata is my favorite player. He must be used & play soon. If Jose won´t use him in two weeks, I´d say Jose needs his head examined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Flash 1,144 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I really was gutted he didn't get on at all the other night what is Jose doing "...we love mata, need mata..."Then don't bloody play Mata, player of the year to benchwamer it's not right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Something´s cooking with Mata. So many rumors, not playing regularly...,are we in for the surprise ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Freak 456 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Something´s cooking with Mata.

different level 1,056 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'd like to think that he still has issues with his fitness. We saw him against Aston Villa and he played poorly, probably because he's not fully recovered and of course the media used the opportunity to try to unsettle him. I believe he'll return to the first team after the international break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he fit to play 25 minutes recently ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouri_Matic 560 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I don't think anything is cooking with Mata.If he's not fully fit, no point risking him so early in the season.He would have a month worth of rest in 2 week's time and if he is still benched then something is definitely cooking with him.

I don´t get it. Played for some minutes, benched later...How does he feel about it, is my question ?Mata needs to play, soon. Recently, he wasn´t even chosen to play for Spain. He must not be very pleased about it, I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Driver 503 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 He is in a fight with Oscar for the Number 10 role in my opinion as when he is played in wider areas he suffers from being too reliant on his left foot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chelsea 864 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 He is in a fight with Oscar for the Number 10 role in my opinion as when he is played in wider areas he suffers from being too reliant on his left foot .He haven't even play any part yet and now he fighting?? Until he played then we can make conclusions but he still the best for that number 10 role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
