Blue Armour 4,439 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Mata does not need to think about anything. He is the best Chelsea player two years running.Jose sent nothing. He uselessly benched him. Jose sometimes is too cocky & do not use his head properly. Surely you would admit that Mata was not at 100% in the first few weeks of this season...in that case he wasn't fit to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 no, I agree with what many people here said, Jose was trying to improve Mata so that he is a complete player (i.e improve his defence so that he's an even better asset in the big games [such as tough trips to Bernabeu, Camp Nou, Allianz Arena, Signal Iduna Park, Juventus Stadium etc]). Also Mata will now feel more pressure. I know he deserves a regular place but some players thing that they have a spot in the starting XI for granted. Even though Juan is an angel, at least Mourinho has sent his message across to the entire team, that no matter how good you are. IF you play shit, you won't play.If that was the message he's sending, then there is clearly a contradiction in it. Cole and Hazard for instance haven't been playing well this season and yet they have started almost every game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 COLE???? I'm sorry but he has been really good, very strong, got us out of many a defensive pickle. Hazard yes pretty weak this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 COLE????I'm sorry but he has been really good, very strong, got us out of many a defensive pickle.Agree to disagree I supposed but Cole has been under-par this season. Not offering anything going forward, not that he has contributed anything big in that aspect in the past few years, and defensively, he has been rather shaky. Still has some moments but producing more bad moments especially when he seems to be getting skinned all too easily these days by wide players.

He really is a smart player and really put his body out there in defensive issues. I am sorry I just totally disagree with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 COLE????I'm sorry but he has been really good, very strong, got us out of many a defensive pickle.Hazard yes pretty weak this season.cole has been an absolute shambles this season. except for the bayern game he has been poor, not even average but downright poor. in attack he has hardly supported hazard, and has constantly struggled to track back and match the pace of the opposition wingers. against everton, naismith had to score, against basel salah had to score. townsend owned him in the first half against tottenham. he has without a doubt been our worst defender this season. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Cole has done fuck all attacking wise and has been skinned too much by average wingers (townsend, salah ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 well, what can 2 weeks do to u. from being on the "fringes" to coming back to the team with a BANG.and to think that some people were even doubting mata's creditibilty. with "term X" (i think) asking if mata even brought anything to the team cos "he does not have pace, cant dribble, so what is he good for".... others were asking questions of "how long will mata's past year acheievements, get him a place in the team", like somehow the previous season suddently became pre-historic times, also at that point mata had a total of 2 starts since his "past year achievements"and then their were people who were so blind with oscar-love and oscar getting into the first team, that i felt that they simply dint even want mata to come back to his best and actually succeed. anyways, never ever doubted him. specially since jose said that he simply wants mata to adapt. always knew mata would put in the extra efforts and show us his class. hope he continues his recent climb to good form. we play the best football when mata is on the pitch and it is essential that mata regains his top form, that is when we are the most dangerous.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Been recalled by Spain.When mourinho fixes his work rate, del bosque will have no reason to call pedro ahead of mata again and he'll adapt to any attacking position for spain. It was always all for his benefit that he got better at his workrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Your opinion not mine Funny you say that when before that, you said this and treating as if your observation was the right one and anything opposite is wrong. Pathetic..I am sorry but i totally disagree i am not sure you have been watching the same games perhaps you have been watching these 'made up games where Eto'o still has it as a striker.

Jase 43,479 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Been recalled by Spain.MEH! Would be better for us had he not been called up. Well, at least Spain's last 2 WCQs are at home. Not too much traveling and all there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mata is too direct for the Spain team IMO which is why Silva always gets the nod. Mata already won everything with the international team so I pray he just focuses on club level Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot calling kettle black.You said agree to disagree on Cole's performance but then decided to have a little jibe in and treating as if the games you watched of Cole's performance is right and others are wrong.

I even think Isco will have have a larger role than Mata sooner rather than later with the Spain NT. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korea 734 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Spain and their 0-10-0Only have 2 forwards called up...I would be shocked if Spain does well come next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
