Anyone thinks him staying might help DDG sign a new contract?
Hopefully Sanchez can become the third amigo.Anyone thinks him staying might help DDG sign a new contract?
This is not how a team works and he does not just pass backwards.We need goals, not backwards passing. I prefer both Lingard and Rashford to start over Mata.
Ya because that is obviously what he does. Talk about hyperbole.We need goals, not backwards passing. I prefer both Lingard and Rashford to start over Mata.
Sorry. Ander is the third amigo and Rojo is the fourth. Sanchez can join in 5th place and prove his friendship...Hopefully Sanchez can become the third amigo.
Of course it is. Mata is a quality option for depth. Many teams would love to have a player like Mata on the bench. Sorry that every single player cannot be a megastar but its all about having a balanced squad.To be fair, that’s far from a compelling case you put forward there!
Mata is a great squad option. Your post didn’t really sell him as a quality player is all I’m saying!Of course it is. Mata is a quality option for depth.

We also struggled to pass the ball 5 yards without losing it.What was Mourinho thinking? We were struggling to win the battle of midfield and he brings on perhaps the least physically impressive player in the league.
Lost his head there Jose.What was Mourinho thinking? We were struggling to win the battle of midfield and he brings on perhaps the least physically impressive player in the league.
He managed to complete 10 of his 11 passes. That's a relief.We also struggled to pass the ball 5 yards without losing it.
Mata at least wasn't giving it away stupidly.
It's not amazing but it's clearly the rationale as to why he came on. Not sure why people are bothered, or even care that much. Would Rashford have changed this game? Really?He managed to complete 10 of his 11 passes. That's a relief.
I think Rashford would have been better. We lost the physical battle out there primarily. At least Rashford has the pace to close players down.It's not amazing but it's clearly the rationale as to why he came on. Not sure why people are bothered, or even care that much.

Also he planned to getting Rashers on before the Fellaini nonsense, so again, not sure why people are complaining. Mata was our least shit sub by far.
But he was going to bring him on 5 minutes later anyway?I think Rashford would have been better. We lost the physical battle out there primarily. At least Rashford has the pace to close players down.
The decision to being Mata made no sense to me, to you, it appears that it did. Only Herrera had less touches than Mata by 1 and he was on the pitch 7 minutes less. (Fellani has less too, obviously).But he was going to bring him on 5 minutes later anyway?
Fellaini was the pointless one, our 3 subs in that game should have been Rashford (pace), Herrera (energy), Mata (not losing the ball)The decision to being Mata made no sense to me, to you, it appears that it did.

Bringing Mata on was pointless.
Disagree Fellani (long punt, chest technique) and the two you mentioned. Pogba shouldn't have gone off though. Once he went off we couldn't get a foot on the ball, regardless of how poor he was otherwise.Fellaini was the pointless one, our 3 subs in that game should have been Rashford (pace), Herrera (energy), Mata (not losing the ball)
Yikes. Herrera was terrible. Lingard carried the ball forward quickly a good amount of times. Dont think it was coincidence that we went hiding under a rock after he came off.Drop Lingard and Martial, insert Mata and Herrera (for big games).
Mata is the only player in our side apart from Crrick who can dictate tempo of the game. Not good at it - agreed but in our current squad, can't think of anyone elseBringing him on in a game of that tempo made no sense.
The game was moving way too fast for him to get into it and it just bypassed him, hes not one to get his foot on the ball and seize control of a game that is getting away from the team, he's a solid recycler when we are playing well.Mata is the only player in our side apart from Crrick who can dictate tempo of the game.

The counter was killed by Lukaku's pass which forced Mata to stop the run!Side pass , back pass , side pass , back pass .
Even when there is a counter attack with lukaku running forward he passes it backwards. Just a pussy who needs to be shows the door
Dude please watch again. Infact let's play a game. Let's count all his side passes and back passes in second halfThe counter was killed by Lukaku's pass which forced Mata to stop the run!
He's playing really well and linking up with Sanchez. Jesse Lingard and Lukaku are the ones destroying our attack.Literally the most negative cowardly “attacking” midfield player in the league. There is not one AM starting in the PL who I wouldn’t swap for him.
