I agree Silva is better, but not as much as I had originally thought. And I didn't post the picture to say Mata owned Silva or anything, neither had a very good game tbh, just posting it cause I'm a Chelsea fan and he's our Spanish playmaker.
Admittedly Mata has done A LOT better than I had anticipated, I think his first season is arguably better than Silva's at this same point in the season(though Silva took a while to get into the groove, no?). As far as I know he's only behind Silva in assists(by 1), and scored 1 less goal as well. Fantastic stuff from Sir Juan considering how poor we've been at times and how dominant and free scoring City can be.
