Juan Manuel Mata

[ammarfcb]

I know it's still early but if you could go back in time would you guys have signed Mata instead of Sanchez like we almost did?

never. although the alexis money would have been better spent on aguero.

 

[mitkoa7x]

I dont see the big fuss about him, he's good but not great.

 

[kingleo]

easily the best player in the PL so far.

 

[antonnn]

Let's see how he is next year. He dropped off towards the end of last season although our play style didn't help him.

 

[Gervinho]

easily the best player in the PL so far.

he's really not. Mata is productive player, but never a player than can shine during 90 mins and dominate a game. Mata is a very good final third player and end of the season he will give you alot of assists and goals.

he really is. Arsenal and Spurs just couldn't handle him, he has 6 goals and 7 assists in his last 7 games. Who has been better than Mata so far this season? and please dont say Cazorla

there are several better footballer than him. he's in great form and he's a productive player. Like I said good final third player. Players like Cazorla, Van persie, Silva, Aguero, tevez are all better footballers imo

 

[antonnn]

Yeah Van Persie is fantastic in defence and midfield, he's not just a good player in the final third despite being a striker.

Amazing.

thats your opinion of who you think are better than him, but i said who has been better than Mata in the PL so far this season? because none of the players you mentioned have been better than Mata.

RVP

Statistically, Mata is performing better than all them this season. I don't like comparing different players as the 1 best unless it's a landslide who was better, because you could argue who had the biggest impact on their team, but RVP probably wins that. Only Silva created more goals than Mata last season and Tevez obviously had minimal impact for City. But I have to say Mata is playing incredibly well for Chelsea.

Hazard has been just as good.

 

[antonnn]

For a guy in his first year in the EPL he's doing pretty well. Not super consistent yet but he's doing a good enough job for now.

 

[kingleo]

Hazard has been just as good.

Hazard has been very good but Mata has been better.
