Juan Mata

[k d luiz 3]

After today's match and the performance of Willian, I am really worried for Mata. It seems more and more competition are between him and the starting 11 now.

i think the picture on official chelseafc site says it all about current situation.

mourinho prefers (he always has) the hardworking africans. mata is exactly where he belongs - the bench - and i cant see that changing any time soon.

Hmm yea man I guess Willian and Ramires are Africans.. could u be any more racist ?

I still cant really believe how well Mata did last year and has hardly been playing. I can't say that Willian and Oscar have been in any way bad to make an argument that Mata must play, despite i love Mata.

I love the man, the player and everything about him, but it's clear he doesn't quite fit the way Mourinho wants us to play, which is a massive shame. I think he deserves nothing but the best and if that means he has to leave us, then so be it.

You can see it in his eyes - pic above - that he knows that himself.

Classic.

Completely agree.

Such a classy player on and off the pitch, it is a shame he doesn't exactly fit into Mourinho's system.

Also, playing Mata or Oscar in the wide positions is a waste of talent. I think eventually Mata may leave...

Stop with the Mata vs Oscar thing, will you?

Both players are important to the team and each of them bring different characteristics to the pitch when starting. We should be happy we have both, that is a privilege and not a reason for a fucking discussion!!!

Mourinho is an honest man and will choose the right player depending on their previous performances. Oscar started the season really well and that has put Mata on the bench, if things change, Mata will surely become our starter again. We are in no position to question him...End of story!

We must be happy for the team, Chelsea. (no matter who plays)

Tommy? Is that you?

I gave you a 'like' just to show I remember a time when Tommy was here (and was also a forum cult hero for some weird reason).

One thing we already knows about whats going to happen in summer: Mata will leave the club.

We dont know that!

Maybe he will regain his position, maybe he doesnt want to leave even if it is to stay in the bench, maybe be wont allow him to leave, etc..

Maybe he will regain his position

we're not getting a new manager soon.

With Roman you never know!

[blu35_army 551]

how came AVB, Robbie and Rafa can use Mata in their tactics and become the goal machine but Mou can't do??? there's something worng....

no they arent. theyre both from brazil. you seem quite clueless about the team youre 'supporting'

mourinho has always liked hardworking players and thats a fact. keep your racism off here please. its not wanted here.
