Re: how good has Mata gotten?
Well said dostoe. He's certainly turned more into a team player this season so I'm sure the more intelligent and skillful attackers is one of the major factors for that to happen. Chelsea fans; please don't misread that, I'm not saying he wasn't a teamplayer last season, I just feel he looks up more nowadays and executes the pass more efficient than he did last season because of spotting a player and seeing the movement of the likes of Hazard and Oscar etc.
There really should be no comparison with David Silva. Mata is the inferior player in every department when deployed in the middle of the pitch when in comparison to Silva. With that said, I do feel Juan is better on wing.

Re: how good has Mata gotten?
He was our best player last season. He is still our best player this season and he is easily a level above any other Chelsea player right now.
Comparisons, still too early to compare. But he is one of the best in the EPL right now and if anyone disagrees with that I dont know what to say.

Re: how good has Mata gotten?
I admit i am somewhere in the middle here. You can just tell he has matured as a player, he is getting better at being decisive for his team. But at the same time, you cant ignore that he is playing with much smarter players too, so he is able to showcase a wider range of his talent.
The comparison with Iniesta is laughable, but he can be compared to Silva and Cathorla. What he does better than those guys is scoring goals tho

MR Nick09, why is the comparison with iniesta laughable at the moment? I mean, both are two of the best in their position, mata has better speed, iniesta does better in close spaces, both have great vision, ball control and passing, not to mention mata's shots, who actually can score from free kick too... He was a monster this season with Chelsea, he also has the physical ability to make pressing better than iniesta (see tottenham game, where he absolutley dominated walker)..
Overall iniesta has more experience and played a lot more games at the highest level, but Mata is becoming a player who can reach his level.

Re: how good has Mata gotten?
because you can only compare their form at the moment and that's about it.
Iniesta has reached another realm in terms of his performances already, and i am accounting for all he has done.
when Mata plays at that level with more consistency, we will talk about it. But until then, lets keep that conversation away.

Re: how good has Mata gotten?
Mata is a right winger while Iniesta is a CM. Not sure why they're being compared.

Well I guess I'll chime in here. First of all you didn't say Mata is becoming a player who can reach his level you said he is as good as Iniesta. Which is just wrong. And no he will never reach Iniesta's level.
Second, I think you may be forgetting that if Barca or Madrid wanted him they would have had him by now. They know how good he is and so does VDB and there is no team on the face of the earth that would pass up a shot at buying Iniesta for 25 million bucks.
Any scout or GM would kick Juan Mata of there team so fast it would make your head spin to get Iniesta. Let's put it this way When playing with Villa and Silva they were a class above Mata and still are. When comparing him to Iniesta there not a class apart there worlds apart.
I mean you do realize you are saying this when Iniesta just won UEFA's Best Player in Europe award for 2012, right?????
Third, if players like Silva, Mata, Torres, Cazorla, Arteta, Alonso etc can take the EPL by storm by running there teams midfield then why would you think Iniesta being thought of as a top 5 player in the world wouldn't do the exact same and just destroy the league to levels none of these players can achieve?
I think you're forgetting in the EPL there are only a couple players like him in the whole league so he stands out more in La Liga there are players with his types of skills all over the place.
Fourth, you should never judge Iniesta on stats. It's pretty much the biggest mistake you can make. Just because someone has better stats then Iniesta doesn't mean there even fit to carry his boots. HE is not judged that way as you can see by being named the best player in Europe by UEFA this year and twice making the final 3 of the Balon D'or voting.
Something IMO Juan Mata will never ever achieve. Does that clear it up?

Iniesta and Mata shouldn't be compared because one is a much superior midfielder compared to the other

Instead of spending 40M for Modric, we could have had Mata for free, able to rotate with both Ozil and Di Maria

Show me that Crystal ball son cos with those predictions skills you should have won the lottery a thousand times over no?
How do you know Mata will never reach that level the mans 24ish and you DON'T know what the future holds so stop with that BS
On a more relevant note however Mata is nowhere near Iniesta's level and it is unlikely he will achieve but to say never is to show ignorance.
Mata though has improved and is a lot more decisive for Chelsea, I do think sometimes though he can be hussled out of possesion if pressed quite aggresively. On the whole the though the dude is showing his class even more this season no doubt.

Re: how good has Mata gotten?
Wingers have multiple roles. Winger doesn't just = someone who runs down the wing and crosses it in.
Mata is a playmaker winger just like Silva.
Then you have wingers like Ronaldo who score goals.

Mata hardly stays on the right ever, its one of the main things that pisses me off am pretty sure on heat maps he spends just as much time on the left and in the center.

I'm pretty sure you didn't see Mata play recently. He plays in the middle, our wingers are Hazard and Oscar.
And I thought Iniesta was a CAM not a CM. My bad if im wrong but I don't follow Barca.

I mean that is the most cowardly post I think I have ever seen. Jesus, take a stance it's pretty obvious, don't hedge everything you say, try growing a pair I mean your probably like 14 so I don't know why I expect anything more from this board.
I know Mata won't be as good as Iniesta because unlike slow EPLers like you and Gil I have watched him for a very long time not a little over a year and I'm not jerking off over a good patch of form. I have seen him play numerous times next to Iniesta and against him and it couldn't be more obvious that he will never be one of the best players in the world.
But with you EPLers I bet you thought at one point Lampard and Gerrard were some of the best players in the world so there really is no talking any sense into you guys who just now found out that Santi Cazorla was good at football and not a winger.
Iniesta has been in a good patch of form for about the last 5 years. And Guess what Iniesta is right up there with the Messi's and Xavi's and Ronaldo's of the world and Mata won't be better then any of them either, you wan't to be dumb enough to argue that too?

Because it's quite possibly the easiest thing in the world to predict.
You are jerking off over a patch of form and it's obvious you didn't watch him before because you don't even remember last year when in some of the most important games Chelsea played Di Matteo didn't even start him.
You couldn't be more blind I mean you're acting like Mata is 18 years old or something. He has been playing top flight football for a long time in the CL and La Liga and for Spain.
He is who he is and there is nothing wrong with that but who he is isn't Andres Iniesta and he never will be again it is really quite obvious. He would never have left Spain if the 2 best teams in the world with 2 of the best youth systems and scouts and have tons of money thought he was going to be the next Andres Iniesta they would have bought him for 25 mill bucks.
They don't think he's Barca or Madrid Material and quite frankly he's not, as both there midfields have no room for him.
Andres Iniesta is a once in a generation player Juan Mata is not. I mean how dull can you be?

Re: how good has Mata gotten?
Dnmac 4, your arguments for Mata not being at iniesta's level is that Barca and Real didn't purchase him because it's not at their level?? So Juve thought about Henry when they sold him to Arsenal... And who are you to say what a player can do and what he can't? Are you Jesus Christ?
I'm not judging iniesta on stats, i've seen an amazing Mata at Chelsea this season...And who are you to judge EPL players that poor compared to La liga?? I remember chelsea eliminating barca in 10 men, so it's not like they're CFR Cluj or some poor team in the UCL. Being the best player at Chelsea means something. And based on what is iniesta much better than mata? What aspects of his game are miles ahead of Mata's? Because you make it look like Mata is a mediocre footballer compared to a God.
