It pains me to say but this is so sos so true.
Yes Cazorla has to great feet but all that counts for nothing if you cannot be effective on the pitch.
Our Santi is just so easily disposesed these days and if you mark him closely he becomes totally useless on the pitch.
I think Mata is even closer to Cesc with his passing than Santi who is more of a dribbler.
Since November, Santi has only seemed to do well when he gets all the time and space on the pitch while Mata puts in quality performances week in week out.
To think we could have had him if not for Wenger and the stooopid stingy board that would rather spend on mediocrity than on quality.
That being said, its only Cazorla's 1st season here and he still has time to improve. Next year he could be better for us if Wenger can use him properly and our coaches can help adapt his game to the English way of football.
Mata is much better than Cazorla

I think with the player Chelsea have that Ba makes perfectly sense. Chelsea want a replacement for Drogba and in Ba they got one. Time will tell how he will doing but with technical good players like Mata, Hazard he ill have a great service. I fancy him to score a lot.

How can people say Ba's technique is bad??
Have people not seen his volley's? Improvement on free-kicks infact his performance Vs Arsenal last week was class but Theo took all the headlines unfortunately for him!

Class? Were you watching the game? He scored a fluke deflection free kick.
He was running around throughout the match. Hardly means he has good technique.
The guy can't play man.

He was terrible against us.
Missed a sitter and scored a tap in.
