The difference between Mata and the rest of our midfield is that he's not a coward. Always want's the ball and shows for it no matter how tight the play is, takes the pressure off everyone
Right, forgot about NLD, yep, draw would be fine. In that case we have to better our GD to be above Arsenal, (they lose rest of the games, we win ours ) with same amount of points. Yes, I was bored and did research today.
UnderestimatedWhat is up with Dalot all his mean passes to DDG?!
True, but mata in there would basically be our Ozil.That Ronaldo-Mata exchange reminds me of the time when rooney and van Persie trying to set each other up for goal. And Ronaldo looks like he is actually enjoying playing football once again.Ronaldo has been sensationalNo clue who the feck we think we are.Anyone that wants Ronaldo out this summer needs a brain scan.Honestly don't know why Mata didn't start more games this season.
Through the middle and our midfielders are getting him the ball
Brentford system is helping us too. And probably helps that we have nothing to play for and no pressureHow the feck have we used Mata so infrequently since we signed him. He was 25 or so when we signed him.
Definitely, we could have built around him as no10 if we’d had a decent coach. Mata behind a rotating Rooney/Van Persie as they were aging.There aren't many more favourable EPL fixtures than this for Mata, although he has been great.
Pressure off for both teams, and one of the least physical oppositions.
just trying to show eth that de gea can be decent with the ball at his feet in tight spaces. proper team player imo.OT very quiet.
Thisbruno telling him "you knobjockey feck off"
nah largely as a RW IIRCRonaldo once a week + a rotational no.9 to play the dross in Eoruoa and we’ll be okay-ish upfront for another seasonI love Bruno so much. ETH will love his mentality.
Don't think we've played with a 10 much since he signed for us.
Can I also have whatever you having that makes you see such things? Must be amazing.It's a bit mad (and pretty fecking stupid) that we've had Mata all this time and have rarely used him all that effectively. He's survived Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Ole, and now Rangnick. Never really felt like we got the best out of him with all those people. Just crazy.
His link-up play in and around the box has been incredible tonight, no exaggeration.
We haven't seen anything close to this football this season. It can't all be Mata's influence, surely.
He's massively up for it for some reason, just hope it's him being him and not him signing off with a great performanceEh ?
Do you really think he's going to push to get out of the cushy contract he has now? No other team will pay him anything close to what he's on here
When have we not played with a 10?Too late now. If only we would have played Mata as a 10 when we signed him rather than trying to shoehorn him in as a RW and thinking how the feck is this not working?
Leicester City?
Nah I think he's proving a point that he's willing to work and put in the effort. He's been doing that since Rangnick joined atleast.We could be playing with Scott imo. Not sure what he's up to in there, but it's not passing or being an option.
I really hope so, would be gutted if he left again nowMata is playing well but please don't think that he would have this much time and space in most games. Hes not played much for United for a reason. I love the guy but hes slow, lightweight and almost never gets fouls when he is eased off the ball. Doesn't suit a team that is not constantly passing and moving either which we rarely are.
Never more than a game here or there. Mostly off the right wing. Another victim of us not addressing the right wing.
Nuts to think we had Zaha as well who would’ve been way better than anything we’ve had on the right wing for the last decade.Is this the first time Mata playing in the his position since he joined?DalotGrandpa matic and grandpa mata showing the ropes to our downtooling youngsters- Status
