In a game like that Mata should have been head and shoulders above all the other players.

As it was he would pick the ball up, pass it backwards 5 yards and walk away too scared to pick it up and run the game.

Where are the forward driving weaving in and out runs? Where are our senior world cup winners getting on the ball and forcing the issue.

Shameful performance.

He shouldn’t start anymore now, same as Matic. Their both done and should be told they are free to leave, if Ole is committed to rebuilding then that’s what he needs to do.

Give likes of Gomes and Garner a chance, it may be a disaster but at least it will be different instead of just repeating the same mistakes. If Ole keeps trusting likes of Mata he gets sacked simple as that.
 
Shouldn't even have the contract, thanks Ed and Ole, way to go. "Example for the kids". "Good professional". Except being shit on the pitch for years, I agree. Should be at Mallorca or something.
 
Nice guy but shouldn't be in the team anymore. Don't think that we should have given him that contract. At the time we gave it to him, I had a feeling we weren't getting a right winger :annoyed:
 
Newcastle 1:0 Man Utd
Get the ball, pass backwards and run away. Few minutes later he gets the ball and passes it backwards again.

What an unbelievably crap player.

It's a little sad seeing how bad he's become. To think he was once an excellent player. Can't cut it in English football, I'm not sure if he'd be able to cut it at a bottom half club in la liga or Serie A at this point. Should go to the MLS like everyone else who's past it.
 
People were near protesting for him to play in the 10 role; I can’t remember him getting ‘in the hole’ & passing it forward since he has.

No worries though 2.5+ years left. [1.5 if we are VERY lucky].
 
There was a rumor Barcelona wanted to sign him on a free... could you imagine that?

Got a new fat contract after that.

This, absolutely shit player.

I just hate some of these players. Played like a coward, did he even create a single chance.

How come none of our coaching staff or ole don't see what you and me see. It's ridiculous Mata starts game after game doing absolutely nothing.
Passes backward and goes hiding. It's unbelievable that he gets away from criticism even from the commentators who keep saying he is the one to create.

Our main problem lies in the 3 behind the striker. None of Andreas Mata or lingard are good enough to create or score. It the most important position in attack and we have absolute dross.

Mata is just awful and a pussy. There was a moment when a ball was a 50 50 and mata's simply did not even go into the tackle.

Don't worry though he will now write a motivational blog and his fans will get orgasms again.

Woodie shat his pants after Mata agent sponges that bs to the media. Just look at Lindelof getting his also and de Gea with rumours of PSG & Juve.

But back to Mata, didn't do anything of note that suggests he warrants a starting place in the current 11 but he'll still get starts.

That's just how agents fool Woodward. Lindelof's agent did the same before his contract.
 
But but he is nice and is a good influence in the dressing room. Extending his contract was a sign of what's to come in hindsight.
 
think there were more instances of him backing out of any possible challenge than making forward passes. And i am not joking. Gutless player and completely worthless today.
 
A nothing player for the past 3 seasons and that’s being kind.

Himself lingard Matic and Andreas getting so many games and Rashford and James as our main goal threat shows how badly run we are. Absolute Shambles. Like Liverpool in the good old days (for us) but somehow even worse.
 
I forgot he was playing until midway through the first half. So so poor.
 
How dare he doesn't even write a nice blog to satisfy me recently. This is what i only care about him.
 
The fact this pensioner got a fecking 3 year deal shows the state of our club

He can't even move properly ffs and he is the most negative player going. Always backwards where the ball originally came from. When's the last time our Spanish magician number 10 actually created something?

3 fecking years :lol::lol::lol:
 
Coward of a player, if he was half as "nice" as people made out he'd do the decent thing and retire.
 
Expensive signing, supposedly one of our most creative players and with stats as bad as Lingard. 0 goals, 0 assists. He takes up decent positions but it's pointless passing to him because he is so slow, he plays as if he's 40 years old. Plus, he does nothing defensively...if he was Messi I'd say that's fine, let them team take the hit because you're invaluable offensively but he does nada. it doesn't Mata if he's on the pitch or not.
 
Good to bring on late to see a game out and protect a lead. Should not be starting any game.
 
I honestly think he is more shot than Rooney was, and he is worse than Matic and Ashley Young are right now.
 
He seems to have aged five years over the summer. He's always been slow pace wise but now even his football intelligence and reaction times seem to have significantly slowed.
 
I’m starting to realise why we played him on the right wing. He does absolutely nothing as a 10, as with Lingard.
 
Shouldn’t be starting, try literally anyone else or change the formation. Just stop picking him, it reflects very poorly on Ole he has picked a formation dependent on Mata or Lingard.
 
His lack of pace really hurt us today. I can't see how he can be a PL footballer with his deteriorating legs.

Needs a move to Italy to continue his career I think.
 
This guy needs to be moved out of the club. It's embarrasing.

Don't tell me Juan Mata is more of a player than Greenwood.

All he wants to do is give those annoying interviews about global warming, flowers and sh**. F*** off.
