Juan Mata

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I was fearing all summer that Mourinho would not like him and ignore the guy's absolute brilliance with a football for incredibly minor weaknesses that are far surpassed by what he does well.

I think my fears are starting to be justified.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Kind of weird seeing him get no minutes when he scored the winner there in May.

[Gil 28]

Disgusting he didn't come on. He would scored today.

For starters he wouldn't have given the ball away like pretty much every other player did today and he's usually are best player in the big games.

Move Oscar to CM and Mata behind the striker.

[Blue Armour 4,278]

Mata hasn't come back to full form just yet. The match against Villa was proof of that.

And still people expect him to come on in this kind of match, against Utd, in Old Trafford....SMH..

Could he have brought Mata on instead of Mikel? Perhaps, but Mouniho hates losing crunch fixtures more than anything and that substitution shouldn't come as a surprise.

[Pizy 18,368]

Seriously now. What the fuck is going on? He didn't look injured at all warming up.

How can not playing our best player be justified here?

[polo 18]

mata doesn't play well then why let him to play?

[Liquidator 5,176]

There you go. He's going nowhere. What more do you need? Now can we put an end to all this shit about him leaving because one lazy, half arse bitter Marca journalist made it up to try to get one over on Mourinho.

Mourinho says Mata is not fully fit and the stories of him leaving are "nonsense stories - he's going nowhere".

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

He's just not fit for such a high tempo game, you could see it against Villa.

[polo 18]

i f he plays or not,it's the same then if he stays or goes who cares?

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Yes!Our juan goes nowhere.

[Pizy 18,368]

Thank you!

All I wanted to hear was Jose being as definitive with Mata as he was with Luiz.

[NishC300 1,865]

THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THIS GOOD NEWS! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!

GOODNIGHT!

[The_Flash 1,144]

I am so happy to hear this. I was worried when he didnt play, starting him against Bayern will be definitive for me.

I love Juan I want him to go nowhere

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Juan isn't leaving. No shit!

Mourinho on Mata:

'He is very important for me, for Chelsea. The stories coming are nonsense stories, he goes nowhere and is very important for me. He had a very small pre-season after the Confederations Cup, during that small pre-season he was injured. He started training two days before we played the first Premier League match, and had a match last week against Aston Villa, a difficult one, and today I decided to put him on the bench.
'I played with De Bruyne on the right because I know De Bruyne will give complete control of Evra defensively. When Juan plays on the right he comes more inside. I don't say the kid is more tactically disciplined but is more adapted to that situation. I wanted Oscar to play behind the striker so I decided not to play Juan.. Minute 70, 75, I was feeling [it was] difficult to win, I don't want to lose, so I made the changes to control the last few minutes of the game, but no chance Juan goes anywhere.'

See, he's going nowhere! I told you guys!

[The_Flash 1,144]

I hope so but I'll believe it when they transfer window shuts and he is sitting in stamford bridge

[yuvala 2,167]

And to think people actually thought we were gonna sell our best player..
