It feels like I'm taking crazy pills. How is there not more outrage about this situation? JUAN MATA IS AWESOME! PLAY HIM!

As a fan of the beautiful game, it upsets me to see such a talent on the bench. Just when we thought he was starting to warm up to him, he's benched for Arsenal. Screw Mourinho. He ruins soccer.

Who do you think would get him. I would cry for joy if Spurs got him.

It was funny when we were telling the Chelsea fans this before the season and they were arguing with us.

Mata was the best player in the league last season. Mou gonna Mou.

I said Top 5 because I didn't want the thread to get derailed. I'd argue that Bale was better last year though.

On talent alone right now.

Aguero
Suarez
Juan Mata
Ozil

Those are probably my Top 4 in no particular order.

Results are results though. Take 3 in the games you should win and park the bus in tough fixtures. It is ugly, but it works.

Yes. I just think an obsession with results can take away from the beautiful game. I guess you could line up a bunch of 7 footers in front of the goal for the whole game, and draw 0-0 against the top teams, but that would be super gay.

My direct quote in that thread:

quote:

Plus it's Mourinho. There are two things to understand about him.

1. He is stubborn as frick, but he is a brilliant manager
2. No player on the team is bigger than Mou


He knows how to get a result, nobody will ever deny him that.

Well think about this. What has Chelsea done with Mata. Not just this season, but since we've had him? Finished 5th in the league but snuck into CL by winning it. We have yet to contend with Mata as a regular player and for that matter he's not been great when given the opportunity. I wish we would sell him so I don't have to hear this "Mata is the answer" shite.

You should seek psychiatric help.

He does have a sweet 5 o'clock shadow.

I genuinely thought this was going to be about Schurrle
Pretty much forgot about Mata not playing, he's seemingly doing the same thing with Cole, saying that he will play then actually he needs more rest.

Someone else tried this argument with me and it was the worst argument I've ever heard.

Hey, the Vikings haven't won any playoff games with Adrian Peterson the last couple of years maybe they should let Toby Gerhart start getting the majority of the carries?

Sitting Mata and not starting Oscar is laughable.

Schurrle sucks too. I have no idea why he has 15 appearances.
