Thax Odongo for annalysing that,we perform
better when ramirez has the freedom to attack
more.mou shud put a far better defensive mid
fielder who we all know is mikel or Essien.

Mata has played MORE minutes than at the start of last season. Then, as now, he was rested for the first few games due to being on International duty through the summer. Last season, Chelsea contacted the Spanish manager and asked for Mata to also be rested for the opening games of the season for Spain, which was agreed. So he sat out both club and country games, just as now. It is well known that Mata considered it essential to have the break before embarking on a 60+ game season. The only difference is Mourinho has actually given him some playing time during this period, whereas that wasn’t the case last year.
So please do not spread tripe on the Internet about Mourinho not wanting Mata or other such nonsense. You obviously know nothing about it.

This article is factualy incorrect. Mata did not play against Hull, he played 62 minutes against Villa. And missed the two remaining games vs United and Bayern due to match fitness. He had a thigh strain coming into the season hence he has been rested.
At the beginning of last season as well Mata was rested if you remember the dull draw away at QPR, Mata was sent on a short holiday by RDM and came back rejuvinated. Lest not forget Mata has not had a pre-season holiday since 2008.
He played the Confed Cup in South Africa in 2009, World Cup 2010, U/21 euros 2011, UEAFA Euro 2012 and the London Olympics same year, 2013 confed cup in Brazil. Next year wont be different with the World Cup. That would be 7 consecutive years without a holiday.
In fact in 2007 he was involved in the U/16 for Spain, so thats 8 years out of 9 without a summer holiday for Mata.
The poor guy must be literay exhausted.

Mata is a good player but does defend well. Jose likes players that defends even.if ur are number 9. He needs to.recalibrate his game and start defending to earn.a place in the team

Jose does not like the style of play Mata offers,Jose likes to play wingers and holding midfielders,Mata is not proficient as either,Mata should try to join another club so long as Jose is in charge ! I think the Chelsea Mourinho Abramovich triangle are heading for trouble this year !You can just feel it brewing !
