Was then going to post this, tubessssssss!

I know not everyone here speaks English but, can you try not to use so many unnecessary commas?

It makes your message so much harder to read.

If the mata against spurs doesn't turn up tomorrow we are in dip shit but he will be in deeper shit with mou if such happens.

You really think someone of his talent can continue not to perform?

[meetdoscar 335]

^^^ he may have permanent class but form isn't permanent as we saw in his earlier diplays. Could happen to any player though.

actually I don't think Mourinho will be that harsh on him if he doesn't perform... also I think he will perform.

But in the fatality he doesn't, I think what Mourinho was looking forward the most was his attitude and commitment with the team work rate. Everyone is entitled to have a bad day in the office and Mourinho overlooks those things if the attitude is right and if he feels the player worked hard and gave their best.

I do expect him to do well. His confidence must be skyrocketing after the praise, the support, and of course the performance.

But I have to say, the Spurs Mata is much better than what we saw this season, but by no means it's his best. I think he'll continue his form progress.

Glad to have him back in the team, some really good combinations with different players. And of course he tried to help defensively too.

Covered the most distance on the pitch in the first half.

Fantastic attitude

Mourinho was again complementary about Juan Mata and had praise for Andre Schurrle…

'Mata played the no. 10 position and the no. 7 position and he played very good with the ball as he always does, and he is playing very good without the ball like he never did.

I was worried he would lose his attacking threat under this new 'mourinho reform' but that doesn't seem to be the case. I just hope his new defensive play doesn't wear him out.

He may not have to play 90mins EVERY game ,,, W e worked him to death the last 2 years .. Hope people understand if Jose rests him at times.

In fact I hope Jose rests him and does nt flog him to death like he did to Frank

Agreed, but Frank was a tank in Jose's first few seasons here. No surprise he kept on going game after game

it was something like 4 YEARS ,, for a midfielder that was insane AND in the last 3 years Frank paid for it

[meetdoscar 335]

I thought he played well(he looked like a certain oscar on occasions kept it simple and had good defensive positioning without the ball). Four goals scored but not even an assist and yet praised by his boss that shows he and chelsea are maturing as a team.
