Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 ‘He played against Basle, not like Ba or Mikel coming in to rescue the game, but he came on when the team were winning 1-0 and had specific tasks.‘The reasons why he’s not playing so much are things I can speak about with him but not with you.’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I wish mourinho didnt make that statement in public. But i think he did it to motivate mata, he did the same to benzema and it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Jose is not idiot, he knows exactly what he's saying and doing. He feels Mata needs some motivation and he is giving him it. If he had any doubt that Mata cannot deal with this kind of public criticism, I am 100% sure that he would not have said it. But rather, he knows the kind of guy Mata is, and he knows how he will deal with this criticism. James, Blue Armour and Barbara 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Partridge 1,124 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm sure Mata will try to adapt but I still don't see him being here past this season, maybe even Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm sorry for Mata. It looks like he will be out this January transfer window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 i see no reason why he cant tie down a spot on the wings and have a big impact still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoro 151 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 i see no reason why he cant tie down a spot on the wings and have a big impact still.Because he has no pace or strength. Oscar is quicker than Mata and even he struggled playing out wide. LDN Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr123 167 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I can only assume that the reason why Mata is still wearing a blue shirt (well, technically - the poor bastard can't get a game) is that no top club abroad wanted him or could afford him. Expect PSG to take him in 6/12 months time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,142 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Mourinho is such an ass sometimes. In the interview he said Mata has been below par and that justifies him leaving him out. As a manager get behind him and give him his confidence back. Same way you play Hazard every single game even when he is poor, try and give Mata game time to get his spark back.

NishC300 1,865 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Wayne Veysey @wayneveysey now 2 theories on outcasting Mata - (a) Mourinho is flexing his muscles & telling squad no one untouchable b )Major falling-out behind scenes. (Reply) CLBrosnan93 @CLBrosnan93 now @wayneveysey how can you fall out with Mata though? He wouldn't hurt a fly. Mceachran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Chelsea FC @chelseafc 21m Mourinho on Mata: 'He will be playing from the beginning against Swindon. I hope he tells me I have been wrong on the pitch'. Mourinho on Mata: 'He's a top kid, and a very good professional, so I am waiting for a professional reaction'. Rob Harris @RobHarris 20m Mourinho on Mata: "If he proves that I am wrong I will be the 'Happy One'." didierforever and Barbara 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Get this lad on a fitness programme for a week or two and have him back in the side when he's 100%. As much as I wanna see him playing every minute, he looked below par so far this season.He's one of the world's best players and will nail his spot in the front three when he is proper fit. kellzfresh and xPetrCechx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
