Juan Mata

[different level 1,056]

Another magnificent display from the creative genius of the team.

[Chelsea? 892]

Mata is my favorite player, but I honestly didn't think he'd be this good: even after the year he had last year.

I don't have enough money for an official Mata jersey but I wanna design a tee shirt online. Any suggestions for tag line or graphics on the shirt?!

Mata,

#awesome

That would be nice on a t-shirt. Especially the hashtage part.

JT called Lamps the heartbeat of the team, he was wrong.

It's this guy.

I would say that the heartbeat is JT himself, but its all a matter of opinion I suppose.

Mata is more and more influential on the pitch...

Even Hazard starts to pass to Mata to provide the creative spark.

I like to see Hazard do more on the pitch considering he cost 1.5 times of Mata?

So you only expect 0,4 of Ba as you do of Luiz?

Or 0,9 of Oscar as of Hazard?

Stop this nonsense please.

You just sound like those British media, misquoting stuff lol.

If you get my meaning, hazard got to play well. i like to see hazard to be influential on the pitch as well. apparently you don't

How on EARTH did you interpret what I wrote that I dont want Hazard to be influential on the pitch?

My point is that I dont give a bloody shit that Hazard costed 1.5 times more than Mata and that Mata is more efficient and influential than Hazard is. Its not relevant what so ever.

Am I forgetting or have the fans not made up a song for Mata yet?!

There's only Juan Mata

or The special Juan

[Cripen 110]

That cross yesterday to Ivanovic was terrific. Also that touch by the first goal was great.

Now almost every action is played with Mata. I have no doubt that he's actually one of the best players in the Premier League.

Some statistics comparing Juan to players of similar ilk:

David Silva vs. Santi Cazorla vs. Juan Mata

David Silva, 26 years old

Santi Cazorla, 28 years old

Juan Mata, 24 years old

For me there is no question who is the better of the three at the moment. Silva is far too inconsistent this term, and even last year when he was good I felt Mata was just that little bit better. Some people see Silva consistently in the Spain team and instantly think he must be better, the simple fact is he suits Spain's possession game more. Cazorla has been magnificent in the League, but falls short in the other competitions (Not to mention he's much older than Mata).

Hopefully Juan keeps it up this season and we could be looking at him reaching double figures for both goals and assists. Until then there's nothing more we can do but sit back and enjoy watching little maestro continue to dazzle the opposition.

yes yes yes!!! This guy deserves banners and chants!! By far my favorite player at the club right now and I hope he can become the next legend (followed soonafter by mceachran

[Leif 6,006]

He really needs to start dropping deeper to control the game - not just control the final 3rd.

Basically it'd be better for our team (probably) for him to make similar runs and take up the same positioning Cazorla often takes at Arsenal.
