Juan Mata

[Reddish-Blue 2,495]

No, not really. He's rather overrated than underrated. Ever since re-joining Bayern after his loan at Leverkusen he couldn't establish himself as a starter, even when Schweinsteiger was poor or/and injured last season, Kroos couldn't show consistent performances, let alone making the position his own.

Kroos wasn't suited to Van Gaal's tactics, he was forced to play CDM/DLP...and he's not ready to be influential from a deeper role just yet.

He seems to be doing alot better under Jupp Heynckes' system as they are finally using him in his strongest position: CAM.

He is underrated, when you think about the amount of midfield talent at Bayern Munich. He's only 22, I think this could be his break-through season, where he really starts proving his value to Bayern.

Juan mata

Appearances for CFC= 64

Goals= 16

Assists= 30

This is a great record for just over a season in chelsea and his just 24 years. Mata is much more of a goal threat than silva and cazorla bcoz he is a more direct attacker also he is a very incisive player (more than the other tw)o.

Some EPL fans are biased tbh. Nobody talked about how good Cazorla is when he was at Villarreal/Malaga once he stepped foot in the EPL fans say : ''OOH he is one of the best midfielders around blablabla''

I already knew Cazorla was class but people are really overrating the guy. Nonetheless Cazorla is good but Mata> Cazorla.

Even last year under Heynckes Kroos was poor, probably one of the most disappointing players in the German league. His problem is that he isn't even suited to playing as a CAM because he's too slow for Bayern's system. Schweinsteiger, Martinez and Gustavo are all above him in the pecking order and if Shaqiri continues to play well, Heynckes will have to change his tactics and Kroos won't be anywhere near a starter spot.

are you mad? Kross is above all of those players you mentioned! he is easily one of the best players in German Football! how can you say any of them are above him in the pecking order? Kroos's place in the team is nailed on there is a reason why he starts virtually every game.

Mad? Why should I?

I'm just telling the truth. If Schweinsteiger hadn't been injured Kroos wouldn't have played, that's fact. Heynckes team is still looking for the right system and as soon as Müller picks up his normal form again, Kroos will be out.

It's common knowledge that Martinez was bought to play alongside Schweinsteiger in the double pivot, so there's no room for Kroos, except if one of them gets injured. In the 3 positions behind the striker Ribery, Müller and Robben will be the starters when they are fully fit and in form. Where does that leave Kroos? Right, on the bench.

Ridiculous to call Kroos one of Germany's best players when he hasn't done anything noticeable since returning from Leverkusen...

It's always been simple for me if u want attacking players southern countries are the place to go, if u want defenders from Germany to the north is the place to go.Yes there are exceptions but only few.., my opinion on Kroos? Definately overrated like most new german talents.For years they've only seen 190 santimeter + woodsmen who can't even control the ball and now when there are just little bit more technic players there, they've gone crazy on them, overrating and overhyping, soz but iam not buying this.

Some free kicks, and a couple of goals, as against the Arse would be welcome today

As I said, he is a future captain material. Doesn't let go, doesn't stop. He's the one!

ONE JUAN MATA! THERE'S ONLY ONE JUAN MATA!
