Lunatic Fringe wrote:he is incomparable at this point, he's making world class performances of the highest quality seem like absolutely nothing, he's hardly inconsistent, his decision making in the final third is almost always right and unlike his rival players (like gotze against malaga) he doesn't have bad games where he misplaces passes and misses chances, his ratio of dribbles completed, passes completed, key passes, goals and assists are better than everybody right now.
he's had 2 seasons at chelsea and maybe he's found the right team to display his ability but he's gone on another level, and having seen silva for 3 seasons, he's no where near consistent enough to be compared, gotze is just a kid who's got immense talent but is still very inconsistent. ozil is also tremendously inconsistent and not as big a goal threat and hasn't had the best season. mata has about 30 assists and 18 goals, he's also got a shit load of stamina for a small man. he's played 55 + games this season without getting injured.
and in terms of ability? mata has as much if not more ability than all the players mentioned. he goes past players with absolute ease and hardly gets phased when facing three players ahead of him.
easily top 3. the only person i rate above mata is ineista.

Re: Mata is the world's best central attacking midfielder right now
Are we seriously ignoring Fabregas' because of his dip on form in January onwards? He started all the time when Tito was on charge and was fantastic alongside Xavi and Busquets. So he basically wasn't crap for a year as he, Iniesta and Messi were the most influential attacking players this season for Barcelona which basically secured them La Liga in January.
Anyway... my top 3 AM's would be: Özil, Fabregas and Mata without order.

People are inventing numbers for Mata that don't exist. He's on 10 goals and 10 assists in the league. Ignoring for a second the fact that for a midfielder's overall performance it's completely irrelevant whether he has 5 assists or 10 assists over 30 games, Cazorla actually has very similar numbers. 12 goals and 7 assists.

Fabregas doesn't play AM anyway. He plays the same position as Iniesta or as a false 9.

Re: Mata is the world's best central attacking midfielder right now
Saying someone on the team you support is the best in the world in their position is never really a convincing statement. For example, I doubt OP watches Gotze (the player he is comparing with most) nearly as often as he does Mata, and then there is Ozil, and the other Spanish AMs that play more than Mata in the national team. Mata is pure class but these types of arguments lose some validity when it's obvious that the person arguing the stance is coming from a clearly bias position.

That proves he's truly class and not pretenders like Aguero and Silva

Re: Mata is the world's best central attacking midfielder right now
Mata is one of my favorite players, and the only reason I don't hate on Chelskie as much as I usually do. I would absolutely agree he is the best CAM in the world right now. If he's not "the" best then he's on par with everyone else who is considered to be "the" best.
