Juan Mata

[Hutcho 8,443]

Let's be honest with ourselves here: Lampard's job was to lump it to Drogba.

Now sometimes it would look like an amazing pass, but more often than not it wouldn't come off or it would just land near Drogba and he would do the rest. It's more of a testament to Drogba unbelievable ability at being the lone striker than Lampard's passing..

Wow.

Massively underrating lampard and overating drogba.

What's happened? Can we not just talk about mata?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Listen, all I'm saying is that Lampard wasn't as creative as some people here are remembering; go look at the static, lifeless 10-11 season. The team he was king of was built around the team's collective power and dominance. He out most creative player in it, yes, but the way some people are harping on here it is as if he was Xavi+Alonso in one. Lampard could never dictate the tempo of a game. If I'm totally off the mark, then I have no idea why we bought every no. 10 under the sun and why Lampard isn't playing there.

If you don't agree with me, that's fine. Now go back to Mata...

Who is saying that he is on Alonso level of creativity???

The thing is that some said he isnt/wasnt creative at all. And that BS.

I guess some started to watch Chelsea too late to see Lamps in his very best years. I would go that far that he is one of best footballers of decade along with Messi, Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, Iniesta etc. Not creative my ass...

the end of his career

25 years old it's Young LOLLLLLLL

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

25 is young, Frank is 35.

Scoring is creativity in football if you don't know.

Oh please...enlighten me..

Lampard is a greater player than mata will be

Maybe in terms of achievement, then the answer is yeah now. But in terms of overall ability as a player, maybe not. Then again, let's see what happens with this in maybe 5-10 years time..

and if you think that makes mata worthless then that's your opinion anyway.

I wasn't just referring to that post alone but the posts you have made in recent times including in other threads. And it's not just an opinion but also a fact too. Almost every one of your posts have small little attacks on Mata these days. It's getting obvious and pathetic.

just had to double check that this was the mata thread.

If you ignore the replies, the posts then to stop! Hence, the derailment stops!

Mata will probably leave January or the summer. Dont blame him. Was a good run Mata, you will always be loved.

Brilliant Player! Definitely the wrong manager to develop him further I feel , Laudrup or Klopp would have been brilliant for Mata.. Really hope he doesn't leave but would understand if he did

Daily Fail at its best again. Claimed Mata isn't a team player. Utterly idiotic and embarrassing journalism!

[OneMoSalah 8,800]

Why the fuck is everyone saying Mata is going to leave? Honest to fuck what's Jose gonna do sell Mata and sign Sneijder who isn't anywhere near his level? or tempt Luis Figo out of retirement? this thread is hilarious at times

[Korea 734]

I think PSG going to make Mata their number 1 target, but I wonder if mata does go to PSG, how they would line up....

Klopp is quite similar to Mourinho in that he wants his players to be hardworking, athletic players who can press and regain possession and then do the business going forward. I disagree that Klopp would be brilliant for Mata; in my opinion Mata would have more or less the same 'problems' with him that he's having with Mourinho now.

I've just taken a look at Dortmund possession stats for their last two games (Arsenal and Schalke) and they had 42% in both games. They play a very direct counter-attacking game and that does not suit Mata's game at all in my opinion. I don't think he's any more of a Klopp player than he is a Mourinho player.

trouble is people look in the "Cracked Mirror" apparently most of our players want to leave
