Mata hasn't got great acceleration.

Having great physical aspects is also a talent you know, It's not a cheat in the game, Bale is a monster not only is he fast paced tall and strong, he's an excellent footballer. Did you see any of his crosses and passes he made during some of the games last season? He was taking the piss out of so many defenders. He destroyed Manchester City and Manchester United. Some of his touches are scary also, did you catch the one against Norwich, where he touched the ball past 3 defenders at the same time?

Mata is a very good player, but he's not in Bales class, that's why Gareth Bale is going for a huge fee. Yes he's not worth it, but that's what they will have to spend to get him simply because there's not many like him. Also he's got one of the best long shots I've ever seen, I though Ribery and Ronaldo where scary cutting in, Bale is on a complete different level.

Bale is not Theo Walcott, his game may rely on pace, but he's got end product and ideas, he can destroy any fullback or any defender.

Mata may not be fast, but he does indeed have a great first acceleration. Something every Spaniard seems to have.

Hence, why I stated in this day in age, it's very beneficial having athleticism. However, most of Bale's goals have been him running past his opponent to score. Something to be very limited. If you take away that pace, what other criteria would he have then? it's an attribute you work hard to achieve, it it not something impossible. Mata's attributes define something he was born with, natural ability he has worked on to enhance his overall game.

Agree to disagree. I've just never been convinced by players who have shown to rely heavily on pace in which was his standout ability.

Mata played 65 games last season and got 20 goals and 35 assist's leading to 55 points (goals and assists combined).

Bale played 44 games and got 26 goals and 8 assist's leading to 34 points.

On average Mata gets a goal or assist 1.18 games where-as Bale gets a goal or assist every 1.29 game's, Bale's practically gave up his assist game to be some wannabe Ronaldo, Mata combines the two to almost perfection.

Why are people comparing Bale to Mata in the first place? You start stupid comparisons obviously it will lead to no conclusions and people just picking fights.

Completely different players and it would depend on your team and your playing style to determine who would be the better fit. Both are ridiculously dangerous in their own right.

I think Bale would be a beast in a fast paced counter-attacking team, like Jose's Real, he would be an absolute monster. While Mata would be a better option for possession based teams.

Combine the two and you get HAZARD HAHAHHAHAHAHA Game.Set.Match!

How should he fail? As long as he does not get injured, he is better than di Maria and would play on the right with Ronaldo on the left. Most deadly wings in the world.

The opposite is the case, You can't work to have that BAle-esque pace. Sprinting ability is something you are born with cos an individual's stake of fast-twitch muscle fibres is genetically determined. Creativity, vision, passing ability is something you can practise. Pace is not.

Btw Mata's acceleration is pathetic. It may look ok because he is so small and always slows down after the first few steps but Mata is probably the worst athlete in our team.

Mata's finishing is far from perfection.

it's not true Bale "gave up his assist game". Bale had some awesome assists this season. It is just all those games where nothing went right for tottenham he could just take the ball and hammer in the top corner and he did this multiple times. That is something Mata can't do. Bale changes games himself, Mata always needs s.o. to set him up or finish his assist.

I know this is a Chelsea forum but Bale is a good deal ahead of Mata in terms of current ability and potential if you really have to compare the two.

It's funny, my mate who supports Tottenham rates Mata as the best player in the league. Tons of opposition fans rate him very highly as well. I'm starting to see this trend where we ourselves are starting to really underrate how good Mata is, which is a shame really.

I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with saying he's in the same class as Bale.
