Jase 43,479 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 There are 2 things watching Mata plays that frustrate me. One, he needs to improve physically. It's just annoying that at times, other players rob the ball so easily of him! The other would be for him to improve his right foot. I just get terribly annoyed when players are so one-footed that they can't do anything with their weaker foot. Not saying Mata is one but you can see he isn't comfortable when he needs to use his right foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Surprised with his performances lately. He loses the ball so easily and usually looks scared to try and beat a man. His passing is still there and movement of the ball is great but his level of performances had dropped. He has played a lot this season though and it's his 1st season so it is expected.His freekicks are really great, such a shame he didn't score yet.

BadBoy predicted right when he said we're going to repress Mata's creativity. We simply rely on him too much to 'make something happen', and that's taking a toll on him. André had it right in rotating the boy when he did, despite people feeling animosity towards that decision. I think he should've been brought off today for Benfica. I hope he's not going to suffer a burn-out before then. CHOULO19 and manpe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Dont want to go overboard because he's still our best player by a country mile, but he needs to improve his fitness. Now we can see why he was constantly substituted at the 70th min mark, even when we were losing/drawing. AVB got so much hate for that but it's obvious now it wasn't some tactical decision, mata simply can't play 90mins twice a week. He struggles with 90mins once a week sometimes. That's not his fault, la liga is not as physical and intense as the prem.Im sure he'll work on it in the summer.If he doesn't burn out from the Olympics and Euros, that is.

communicate 2,703 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Now teams understand that mata is the only guy that can create chances for us, he is still not used to the physicality of epl and he kept being bullied.The sad thing is that he is not a direct player and he like to play one-two football but nobody in our squad can play that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I just don't understand why some fans are criticizing him,he has been by far our best player and instead of such criticism,he requires more appreciation and support.Imagine this Chelsea team without Mata,we would have been definitely 6th or 7th in the league and would be fighting for the Europa League spot rather than a 4th place finish.

People are just pointing out some minor flaws in his game. Why is that wrong? Everyone recognizes that he's our best player. And he's definitely not short of support, so I don't know what you're talking about tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 He needs help next season, other players technically on his wavelength. We need a player with the technical ability to open up teams from a deeper position meaning teams cannot sit back and just close down Mata to nulify us. We also need pace and quality out wide to stretch teams and open up the space for him in the middle. Ezio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
